Description
hello beautiful people :)
my name is Vivi and I am from Berlin, Germany. I started traveling at 18 years and could not stop with it ever since. I am a very joyful and energetic person. Most people tend to call me "their sunshine" due to the fact that I am always in a good mood. Well, almost: everyone has a bad day every now and then.
I used to live in a permaculture community in Tenerife and I fell in love with it. Growing and harvesting your own food, sleeping outside, communicating openly. All these values I experienced during this time really have changed me and my point of views.
Later, I was traveling solo in Mexico, Colombia and Europe. I met many inspiring people. This made me realise what my favourite part about traveling is: getting to know new people and learning from them as well as sharing my own knowledge.
I used to be a professional gymnast until I retired due to a back injury but I still love almost every sport.
At the moment I really enjoy water sports as e.g. wakeboarding. But I also like to go for a swim after running through the forests. There is hardly any day passing without me moving myself. This energy I also use for all the tasks that I am confronting in life: in Tenerife we were building yurts and houses with our bare hands. In Mexico I was selling coconuts opening them with just a machete.
So, as you can see: I am really full of energy and once I am into something, there is nothing that can hold me back.
But besides the physical part, I love the intellectual side of life as well. I enjoy reading a lot and educating myself. It does not matter if I gain the knowledge from other people or if I am educating myself about topics in my free time. But I just cannot not learn. My friends are sometimes making jokes about my "learning addiction". So if there is anything, you want to teach me: I am going to love being your student and maybe teacher in some aspects too.
I would love to learn new languages and more about gardening. I love creating things and also learning from projects that maybe weren't working out.
Since I just finished high school this year, I am ready to start traveling again and cannot wait for all the cultures, people and experiences that are waiting for me.
Sending you a sunny smile :)

More details about your skills
well, i learned how to cook for about 30 people when i was living in this community in Tenerife. Furthermore, I have gardening skills and love socialising with people. I am always eager to learn and help in any possible way. Even if the work gets physical, I do not mind putting all my power and strength in it. Since I am a perfectionist in many ways, I love to work as hard and precise as possible to get the most out of everything.

This place is magical. Not just El Paredon but particularly this place. This small hand built hostel should actually not be called a hostel because it is nothing else but a home. A home for its guests, volunteers, friends, animals and memories.
