Biography
A small village near Magdeburg was my home as a child. Then it became the city of Magdeburg. Living, working, building a house and starting a family, all quite normal. I worked there as a physiotherapist for 30 years. After half a century, I was drawn to faraway places and I have now lived in Jordan for almost a quarter of a century. I have never had a boring life and am now trying to see if I can live in Germany again. In any case, I've realized that it's easier to leave than to come back.
