Hi!

Introduction
Heey Peeps. I’m Bram Berkelmans, born and raised from Doesburg, the Netherlands. I will be studying at the Technical University of Denmark for the upcoming semester. It is located in Lynbgy, which is some 10 km above Copenhagen. Since I study International Land and Water Management, most of my courses involve agriculture, irrigation and erosion related subjects. Therefore, I liked to get involved into some more technical courses, as my future job perspective will probably relate to projects in drinking water supply and sanitation.
Royal visit
It was the week before I supposed to leave the Netherlands and start my adventure in Denmark; studying at Denmarks Technical University in Lynbgy, close north of Copenhagen. I got an email from the international office, in which I got an invitation for joining the Dutch embassy in receiving the visit of our Royal Highness and his wife. Since our king has just been inaugurated since April 2013, it is a really exciting opportunity to meet him in person. Especially because of his former royal role as the ‘Water ambassador’ of the Netherlands. Which absolutely matches my study area in terms of agriculture, drinking water and water safety.
