About Me

Hiya all!
I am Barbara, happily married and enthusiastic traveller.
I grew up on the bavarian countryside, started an apprenticeship when I was 16 and moved out of my parents house the same year. I love music, I play the guitar and I am addicted to Mumford and Sons.
I always enjoyed meeting new people, learning about new cultures and working in an international environment.
On my days off I do medical service for Bavarian Red Cross at sporting events, parties, fairs and other events.
For exams and exercises I also act as an injured / diseased mime, therefore I know both sides, First Aid for patients and being patient.
