While living out of her home country of Germany, she has grown her family and raised two Third Culture Kids which enriched her global experience and understanding of being „glocal“ (being global, living local). She knows what it feels like to struggle as a „trailing spouse“ and what it means to get back on your feet in a new country. The birth of her daughter in India, international parenting and her volunteer work as a trained guide in the National Museum of Bangkok created unforgettable memories and „once in a life time experiences“.
