A#Off_the_record with Vivian, Germany!
This time, in a bit different concept – meet Vivian from Germany! Vivian is pursuing her Master’s in Neuroscience at The University of Oldenburg and came to Israel to participate in our internship program! 
In this picture you can see Vivian (in the yellow shirt) surfing with her friends 
1. Favorite Hebrew word:
“Fanany” 
(slang for “everything is great”). It was in Natanya (a city in Israel) when I heard it, and it was in a very cool surfing context.

Because of the professor – I met her in Germany and I really liked her, and came to do my research here with her. My research’s subject is human-drones’ interactions. My experience is good, I feel very welcomed, in Israel there are very friendly people, great community, and the research is good.
3. Favorite Be’er-Sheva activity?
Hanging out and skateboarding with friends 
. Not long ago we tried the big skating park in Beersheba, it’s huge and it’s great. I’m also part of a surfers’ community, I got to know awesome people that surf and I’m going with them to surf at the beach in Ashkelon 
. I bought a board in Israel recently because I couldn’t take mine with me.

I do programming. I do many “men” things. I’m a feminist and want to try things that are not generally done by women, but usually done by men and it annoys me, and I want to show – we can also be good in things like that! 
6. If you could instantly become an expert in something, what would it be?
Surfing like the pro’s. So much adrenalin & fun. It’s just amazing to be in the nature, every time something new happens, it’s never the same 
7. If you could have one super power, what would it be?
Flying. Because then I could see things from above 
8. What did you want to do when you were little, and now what is your dream job?
I had a lot of dreams. I wanted to be an adventurer. Now my dream job is working in human-computer interaction 
9. Tell us about a Fadiha (a slip up) you had:
My limit to being embarrassed is super high 
. The last time I remember is once when I was in the train in Germany, I opened the toilet’s door to someone that forgot to lock it, while he was sittig on the toilet!
