Get to know Kristina

Ahoj and warm welcome to my blog!

I am International President of this beautiful organization. I see alcohol as an obstacle to development – both for individuals and for communities and societies around the world.

I feel honoured and grateful to work with these questions and raise awareness about the beauty and benefits of an alcohol-free lifestyle – the lifestyle of the 21st century and the way of being for the majority of the world’s population.
