I'm Susi Granger. I'm a fisher, a person who fishes and sails across seas and oceans. I like sea and the sound of silence.
-Good morning, Susi Granger, and thanks to attend us.
-Good morning. It's a pleasure.
-How is life in the sea?
-Difficult. It is very difficult. I think that this age influenced me a lot and, perhaps, this is the main reason about my character and way of life.
-Why?
-Because sea is very beautiful and amazing, but also very dangerous.
-Do you miss it when you are on land?
-Yes, of course. Sea is like an addiction. You always want more and more.
-When did you decide to be a fisher?
-Since the moment I had enough conscience to realize how important nature is. I needed to feel freedom and being a fisher was a way to escape. Sea makes me happy and free.
-Sea is beautiful but very dangerous, isn't it?
-Nature is impossible to control even to predict. We can try to understand it but it isn't under our hands. It's powerful and dangerous but all has a meaning in it. This is dangerous but also wonderful. You must love it because if you love nature, you respect yourself as a part of it.
-Which is the worst danger?
-Believe that you are God and can control nature.
-How do you define yourself?
-I'm a person with an open mind who likes learning things and travelling around the world. We can learn a lot and offer our knowledge at the same time.
-Which is your favourite country?
-Sea, but you can find me in a the smallest island.
-Have you visited a lot of places, then?
-Yes. All of them are full of memories and it's impossible to only talk about one.
-Which is the most dangerous sea animal for you?
-Man
-Why?
-Because we don't respect aou enivronment and we live in a way that seems that we have another planet to go when we, finally, destroy this.
-Are you an adventurer?
-If you are a fisher, you must be an adventurer.
-How do you believe we can be better with the planet?
-It's difficult. We must be proactive citizens. We must protect our environment because we can not live without it. It is a paradox -we are destroying our habitat. We are the silliest species.
-How do you feel being a member of The Grangers?
-Very well. It's an incredible experience. They are funny and we can talk about whatever we want without any kind of censorship and this create an open environment of trust and freedom.
-How is a normal day with The Grangers?
-We haven't got similar days. Every day is different and this is something very important because it offers to you the possibility of living fantastic experiences every day and enjoy them with all your heart because you know that next day you're going to put the score to zero and we're going to start again. It's a non-stopping life.
-Which is your best memory with The Grangers?
-It’s difficult to choose only one but I remember our last trip to NYC. It was exciting.
-Which is your favourite colour?
-There’s a colour for every moment but if I had to choose one, perhaps blue, because is the sea colour.
-How long have you been studying English?
-English is the language of commerce and travel. You must know it.
-Is English difficult to learn?
-Not a lot.
-You travel a lot. Recommend me a country...
-It is not a country but a continent, the Antarctida.
-Why?
-Because we haven't destroyed it, yet.
-Thank you very much, Susi Grangers.
-You're welcome.
