Description
Hello, I'm Barbara from Germany.
I’m an open-minded and positive person who enjoys working with both people and animals. Whether it’s on a farm, in hospitality, or helping out with various projects, I love being part of a team, learning new things, and lending a helping hand wherever needed.
I also have a passion for capturing moments and the beauty of nature with my camera. For me, it’s a gift to learn from others and different cultures, constantly evolving and growing.
If you're looking for someone who's hands-on, positive, and eager to help, I would be thrilled to be part of your team.
