  • Description

    Hi, I am a mother of 5 (4 sons and 1 daughter between 32 and 21). After living for 30 years in a small village in the mountains (own house with garden, dog, chicks....), I moved to the capital of Switzerland (Bern), where I work as a social education worker with families and their children. Bevor I worked for 10 years with children/teens and young refugees.

    I like reading, gardening, cooking, music, learning new things.... (I took piano classes for 3 years when I was 40, I took horsebackriding classes for 2,5 years when I was 50, I did my studies as a social worker when I was 45, I would still like to get a sailing license, I want to learn Spanish..... I guess the list will never end :D). I keep fit by doing yoga and I regularly work out in a gym. I am very much interest in personal growth and healthy food.

    I am an open-minded person who wants to get to know the world and its people. There ist so much to see and learn out there! So let's meet and inspire each other!
