About Me:
Iam a 25yo vol.FF and in my daytime job Iam a fulltime RN in the haematology-oncology sector. In my free time I like drawing, train kids to become a volunteer, go out with friends and like diving.
I dont like that the most people in germany dont know how many hours we work volunteer for our community/ city. Sometimes they are against our investment of new fire trucks and equipment and have to explain so much. Its not a game our job, we do it for savety ! And my work is for free !
