I work in trade in Germany.
I am also medical psychological help and worked with disabled people.
I like to walk in mountains. I was on the top of Grand-Paradis (4060 meter).
I am eco-friendly (no plane, eat less meat, buy bio products...) and try to be vegetarian.
My main project is an humanitarian project. I help local humanitarian associations.

Expect that I have a lot of life lessons to share with you.

PHILOSOPHY
Smile. Cry if you need it. Be nice, as much openminded as you can, dont hurt anyone or anything or yourself, be fair even when it is hard and very faithfull to your principles. If anything goes wrong you will know that you have acted as well as possible and it will be easier to smile again.
Don't be pushed by your problems. Be led by your dreams.
You can't change the world. But you can be the change you want to see in this world.
Never give up.

I provide bio food. We have fantastic apple juice for example.
If you come I want that you feel good here. I will do my best.

I am hugely interested in sustainable lifestyles.
