Heyo everyone, my name is Moon and I love to paint and to explore around to get a deeper insight into different kind of lives :3 I like to keep an open mind and I think you can learn from everything that’s happening and from every life you’re encountering during your time here 🐋

I’m currently living in Berlin and I simply enjoy to take random trains to anywhere. Usually, you can find me drawing, painting, writing, reading, cooking, taking walks to places I’ve never been to before, swimming, and snorkelling! Would be cool do to some of those things together, just let me know.
To be frank, I can also be lazy and spend too much time on YouTube, but that’s how I recharge and how I like to waste my time sometimes lol
Also, feel free to write me on Instagram if I don’t answer here: @o.k.phuong

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like the idea of having this world as a big community and to be able to trust one another instead of relying on commercialised accommodation wherever you are

Interests

I love to write, draw, and paint moments of life and also new things I’ve learnt. For the past few years, I like to learn more about plants and marine creatures. Also enjoying to cook and try out new culinary treats!

Music, Movies, and Books

I like to go to small live jazz concerts and close my eyes to immerse myself in the world of sounds, but I generally like to listen to all kinds of music that one discovers randomly. From classical music to R’n’B, hip hop, and pop + more that can’t be restrained in defined genres. I’d like to get to know more as well, so just send me song recommendations if you like!

What I like about watching movies and reading books is the fact that one can directly dive into another perspective on life in the certain point of view that is portrayed in the given situations. A way to learn more about others and to maybe grow some more empathy towards each other. I feel like thanks to Ratatouille I’m able to open my mind and heart more hahah
I enjoy slow-paced movies like Perfect Days (2023), Past Lives (2023), The Whale & Chungking Express (重庆森林; 1994), also ones that have a thriller element like Confession (자백; 2022), Donnie Darko (2001), Don’t Worry Darling & Burning (2018). After all, I also have a sweet spot for childhood and coming of age movies like All About Lily Chou-Chou (リリイ･シュシュのすべて; 2001), Riceboy Sleeps (2022), Better Days (少年的你; 2019), Suzume (すずめの戸締ま; 2022), The Emperor’s New Groove, Soul (Pixar), Camp Rock, Legally Blonde (LOL)
& dramaaa like Shoplifters (万引き家族; 2018)

As for books, I’ve been reading Homo Deus recently! Otherwise, I generally like to read more about plants, marine biology, and geography

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went snorkelling for the first time in the summer of ‘22 and I saw so many starfish, jellyfish, and tiny crabs! Last summer ‘23 there were days I saw more fish than mammals. Truly serene
