Meet Sandhya Kharel
Hi everyone, Sandhya Kharal here! My adventure has taken a thrilling turn – from Nepal to Darwin, Australia. The NT scholarship opened a door I couldn't ignore, and here I am, diving headfirst into this exciting unknown.
Leaving Nepal wasn't easy, but a thirst for adventure and a yearning to explore new horizons fueled my decision. Darwin has embraced me with open arms, and each day offers fresh discoveries and experiences.
From the rugged Outback landscapes to the vibrant energy of downtown Darwin, there's always something new to captivate me. The city's beauty is undeniable, and the cultural diversity that surrounds me is truly amazing.
But this journey isn't just about exploring new places; it's a journey of self-discovery. Every challenge, big or small, pushes me to grow and evolve.
Though far from home, the warmth and richness of Nepali culture travel with me everywhere. Sharing stories of my upbringing, family, and the values that shaped me is something I truly cherish.
Darwin is just the beginning of this adventure, and I'm brimming with excitement for what lies ahead. With an open heart and a fearless spirit, I'm ready to seize every opportunity and make the most of this incredible experience.
