I live in Germany, I live with a rare disease myself, and I created Rare Voices because I believe nobody should feel completely alone with their story.</p> <p>I love photography, nature, cycling and looking at the night sky. I am also the proud human companion of a small dog named Liza β although I strongly suspect she considers the relationship the other way around. π</p> <p>Now it is your turn, if you feel comfortable.</p> <p><strong>Say hello in your own way. We are glad you are here.</strong></p> <p>Daniel</p></blockquote><br>CancelShare this: Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window) LinkedIn Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window) Pinterest Share on Reddit (Opens in new window) Reddit
