Description

Hey, I'm Vincent!

I've spent quite a bit of time mulling over life and what I really want, which led me to really appreciate how precious each moment is. But this awareness has turned me into a bit of an over-thinker when it comes to decisions.

For a while, I was on a mission to self-optimize big time. Picture me trying to squeeze in sports, yoga, meditation, and breathwork at every possible moment—morning, noon, and evening (okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a bit). And, if something didn't go as planned, I'd be quick to blame myself. After a bunch of detours, though, I've chilled out and decided to chase what I've always wanted: travel. Meeting new interesting people, exploring different cultures, and soaking up new perspectives without the pressure of self-imposed routines and books.

In terms of joy, it's the small moments with friends and family, those deep life chats, and stumbling upon fresh tunes that really get me.

On the work front, I'm knee-deep in video and photography. But lately, I've been curious about permaculture, organic farming, and just getting this body moving instead of being stuck in front of my laptop all day.

I'm prefer a vegan or vegetarian diet, but I guess you could call me a flexitarian. Meditation, reading, and trying to keep it real on the mental and physical health front are my daily jams.

More details about your skills

Vincent is a professional video- and photographer. He is also a fantastic cook (mostly vegetarian) and speaks excellent English. His creativity extends to all aspects of life.
When he was still in school, he sold ice cream and delivered pizza on weekends to earn some pocket money.
In 2019, he completed a media design apprenticeship, after which he worked as an independent filmmaker for a year. In 2021-2022, he was asked to join Blackfire Media - a film production, recruiting and social media agency.
During this time, he was very important to the company in the areas of conception, camera and editing until he decided to start his travels with Selina.
At the end of last year, he went on tour with a band from Dresden and produced several tour films for them.
He also joined the second tour in April 2022, which is why we returned to Germany earlier from our trip in the US. If you are interested in his work, here is the link to his website: https://veeniks.com or Instagram: @vincenthuebler

Selina has already had experience with different jobs. Whether it was helping out at the hospital after school, delivering pizzas, working at the bar in clubs, as a trainer at the gym (where she also did her apprenticeship) or as a saleswoman at the drugstore.
Since her parents own their own property, Selina has always helped a lot around the house and with gardening. This includes various manual things: assembling cabinets, changing light bulbs, connecting lamps, painting walls, tidying up, sorting or rearranging things and other small repairs (Google has always been her best teacher in this when she's done something for the very first time).
Selina likes to play the guitar, although she wouldn't call it a skill yet. She is also really interested in the ukulele.
Her first job was at a neighbor's house, where she cleaned the horses' stalls every day. In return, she then got to go riding on the weekends.
With Lockdown 2020, she started painting a lot of abstract art on canvas and selling some of it.
From time to time Selina also works as a model for wedding dresses or as an actress for small commercials.
During her time in Texas she worked as a waitress in a country bar for 3 months and also helped out in the restaurant at the same location. Because of holding American citizenship it is easier for Selina to get work in the States. So it happened that during her time with Vincent in Colorado, she was able to help out at her aunt's physical therapy facility for 2 weeks to supplement her travel money.

Together we did various jobs in Santa Barbara, California to earn a few extra dollars. These included manual labor, such as painting exterior facades, or gardening, where we removed weeds from a gigantic property and made it look pretty again.
