Traveling around the world can change more than you think. Follow us - you will be impressed! hello world explorer,
I am VIVIANE and 24 years old and I am half French and half Portuguese. I was born in the western part of Germany, called Heinsberg. There I lived almost my whole life with my parents, my older brother, my little sis and my lovely dog. Thanks to my parents and family I was able to g
row up with several languages (which they did not teach me but which were still around me), a lot of vacatiogns to my home countries and a lot of music in my little ears. Was no wonder I started as a baby recording my songs on the cute record players we had, that I started with the age of 6 years old to dance and grabbing the old and first guitar of my dad when I was 14 (which he also bought in the age of 14, what I just mentioned! What a great souvenir!) I had that one DREAM – to be a great singer and sing in front of millions of people! I was going to school like every normal student, was not the best, not the worst. I enjoyed my free time most of the time outside in the nature with my friends. Earlier I always had that one DREAM – going to the US after I graduate the 10th grade! I guess I felt too responsible to keep going to school and finish high school. So that’s what I did, other three years squeezing some useful and a lot of unuseful things in my brain. I went through several internships during my school time, but it was never something what I ever could imagine the rest of my life. When the first year of high school was almost over suddenly on one day I had the thought of starting to earn some money.ikk I went to the restaurant and hotel where I had my baptism which was really close to my house – awesome circumstances! I started there with some difficulties (the people who know gastronomy know what I am talking about!!) but I stayed strong and disciplined. I learned a lot during this years and saved a bunch of money, my dream started to fade, so I was just not sure what to do with the money besides saving it – of course after my endless online shopping list in H&M every month, haha! Believe me, I had a great time! Hey!, and i started to really like the job, making my customers more than happy, the contact to hotel guests all over the world, the different languages, the service, the tip of course etc… maybe I liked it way to much! My attention to school became less or turns out into sleeping in class and getting caught by my teacher, but I was more than sure it was enough to pass. Tadaaa, and I graduated! Next step was searching for an excellent hotel where I can improve my skills and become a great hotel expert. A 5 star hotel in Aachen, one hour away from home, gave me the possibility! I moved there for other three years, went through hell and came out in heaven, one big thank you for my amazing companion! I ended up with being one of the best in class, even maths went into my brain!! – such a surprise what interest can change! FINALLY, I made a big decision and start to live one DREAM inside of me. Nothing could stop me and my story begins to grow. My travel started with my best friend on the other side of the world, in OCEANIA.
