Hey, I am Susi, new to Couchsurfing even though I know the idea for a really long time.
I am passionate about traveling and exploring and learning from other cultures therefore I want to meet local people to get a better insight of my destinations.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Why I am here? To travel and meet interesting people and get a real local perspective on those wonderful places of this world.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love emotional piano and film music, from Ludovico Einaudi, Chilly Gonzales to movies like Chocolat, music in languages I don't know (yet), lately especial Nepali indie songs. My favourites are Meghalaya by Mukul Raj Rai and Sunita by Bartika Eam Rai. So if you understand Nepali I will probably ask you for some translations of my favourite songs.

I have a passion for French movies (because they are either weird or really good, mostly really good) and anything artsy, especially Wes Anderson's The Grand Budapest Hotel, Moonrise Kingdom and The Darjeeling Limited.

When it comes to books, I can't name one specific book, because most of the time I will be reading two to five books at the same time but to name some inspiring books I read recently:
- Americanah
- Half a yellow sun
- The thing around my neck
- Full cicada moon
- Home deus

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe, life is about learning in every moment. And the best way to learn and also to teach, is by sharing our passions.

I want to learn how to play the guitar, get back into piano playing, cook ("veganized") recipes from around the world, learn snorkelling and scuba diving, adapt to a zero waste lifestyle, become fluent in Spanish and French, start learning Thai and Nepali at some point... and always be inspired from the people I meet.

I can share some easy vegan recipes with you, teach the languages I learned, we can do yoga together or go running, and share stories on long walks, explore philosophic topics, be creative together, I can teach you my little photography skills or you can teach me more...

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to cook with other people and try out new recipes from around the world. I also love to share and listen to "bonfire stories".
