Educating.... since more than 35 years supporting refugees and their families in Germany.
Love my partner, love my sons, WAS cuddling my dog and doing looooong walks with her (until 2016).
Books are my passion. Owning a small library - my guests love to make a rough estimate: how many books are in there?

Sacrificing a lot of my free time to my family and friends - member of a Gospel choir, of UNiCEF, Amnesty International and ROBiN WOOD.
Love discussing the different cultural habits, manners and origins people are
communicating, presenting and travelling with....

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've hosted a Syrian Civil Engineer for two years in my house. We managed to "survive" this time without stepping on each others' nerves too much and with developping a great mutual respect, understanding and LOVE towards one another.
