Who am I?
I go by the name of Susanna, although most people just call me Susie.

I am 26 years of age - and getting older by the second - but at times I feel like fourteen and other times I feel like forty. I don't think I quite know how to act my age.

I am Austrian by nationality, but I currently live in Ireland and also spent eighteen months in Greece.

I wear my heart on my sleeve and if I were an Amazon order, I'd have a "fragile" label.

I am absolutely infatuated with the sea and nature in general. I could take walks for hours, just admiring the countryside or staring at the waves crashing and the sun setting in a red fireball over the horizon.

I am a very curious individual that wants to know everything, researches many things until they find a solution or explanation and someone who perceives many things but knows that sometimes it's better to be silent rather than to talk.

I like discussing about politics, especially when it comes to controversial subjects, but also generally about life and everything in between.

The person I admire the most in my life is my grandpa who moved to Canada 25 years ago to start from scratch. Sometimes we speak to each other on Skype and it makes me miss the summers I've spent at his farm as a teenager.

If you ask me what my nationality is, I would not know what to respond. I'd probably say my passport says Austrian, I live in Ireland but I feel Canadian. Sometimes I think I've inherited the expatriate gene from grandpa.

I would describe myself as awkward and clumsy. I blush when someone says something nice to me or when I am intimidated. I drop things, I bump into things, I zone out, I tend to blurt out inappopriate things and I am a messy eater. Don't think for a second you are dealing with a lady here.

I suggest that if you want to talk to me, you should just write me a message? I'll warn you in advance though that it'll take a while for me to get back to you, but I'll do my best.

I listen to music as often and much as I can. If you're curious about what I am listening to, feel free to check out my Last.Fm account:

Good music is...

...finding money in your wallet when you thought you were broke.
...a stranger smiling at you when you've had a bad day.
...a hot shower after you've been surprised by the downpour.
...becoming a parent and hugging your newborn for the first time.
...that relief when you catch the bus just in time - and there's even an empty seat.
...that savoury first bite of your favourite food, when you haven't eaten all day.
...climbing a steep mountain, being out of breath and feeling the joy, pride and amazement at the view and the feeling that you've made it.
...having a great orgasm after a long dry spell.
...being good at something that nobody else can do quite as well as you.
...finding your soulmate and being head over heels in love.
...crying at the movie theatre because you were overwhelmed with emotion.
...when the whole world - including yourself - hates you and someone tells you they love you and mean it.
...finally being able to sleep in a comfortable bed when you haven't properly rested for days.
...finishing a 40-hour-week at work and knowing you have two days of freedom ahead of you.
