Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hej, I'm Sue. I lived my whole life in Berlin so far and never felt an urgent need to change that. Love my city and the people and the options I have here. The funny thing: Wanderlust, travel bug - haven't been my thing eather.
I loved my holidays filled with hiking, canoeing and other relaxing things but not necessarily far away from home.
but that changed somehow. Last year I decided to have a break from my job and tata I have now 6 month of free time on my hands and want to travel. New Zealand and Australia and we'll see wherelse it takes me from there.
something else changed too: For the first time in my life, I have a flat on my own. And I would love to have guests and share my love for Berlin with them.
So, that's it. That is why I'm here.

I love to get to know new people, new perspectives and ways of living, that are different to mine.

too much good music, too many good movies and books in the world, to just list them here.
but here is what I am currently reading:

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn more about:
social movements in other countries!
making cheese or wine/beer/whisky (I know, good combination ;-) )
working with wood
and as I am a really curious person, I am open to learn all kind of new things.

I could teach some dancing (LindyHop) or Shiatsu.

What I Can Share with Hosts

hopefully a good laugh and good conversations
shiatsu
a good dinner
enthusiasm for lindy hop
fun facts about animals
