Having a father who's the epitome of the adventure traveller can only have had a positive influence on Deeya Susannah Bajaj. She has taken to winter sports as if to the manner born - proof of that is the endurance expedition she undertook, aged only 17, across Greenland. She is also a PADI certified Advance Open Water Scuba Diver and has completed the Adventure Course and The Basic Mountaineering Course at the Nehru Institute Of Mountaineering. The intrepid Deeya is very much a chip off the old block! .

I have been downhill skiing since I was 10 years old, and had my first encounter with cross-country skiing when I was 17. That first experience of cross-country skiing was in Greenland, where I was part of a month-long expedition across the icecap. The trip across Greenland was, of course, an amazing experience. It was extremely challenging, for we had to cope with temperatures that plunged to as low as -40C, and wind speeds of 30kmph. We would be skiing for eight hours every day - we eventually finished the expedition in 19 days! Apart from Greenland, I have also skied back home in India, in Gulmarg (Kashmir). In the coming year at Cornell, I'm going to be an instructor in cross-country skiing, as a part of the University's experiential learning initiative
