Hello! I go by Jo for short - and yes, my last name really is Money! I am an avid bibliophile, newbie yoga teacher, and aspiring photographer (I'm still trying to understand the nuances of manual photography). I am really passionate about health and nutrition, specifically whole foods, plant-based eating. This ties closely to my love of animals, and my belief in promoting compassion through veganism.
Interested in Animal welfare
Interested in Cooking
Fluent in English
Learning Spanish
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I believe that to really understand a place, you have to look at it through more than the eyes of a tourist. I think the best way to get to know places and cultures is by getting to know the individuals who live there, and CS is the perfect way to do this!
Music, Movies, and Books
Music: Kat Dahlia, Regina Spektor, Imogen Heap, Saint Raymond Movies: Begin Again, The Danish Girl, Speciesism, Cowspiracy Books: Too many to count! Here are a few: Beloved, Harry Potter, Aphroism, The Glass Castle, and currently reading "The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up"
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Trekked through part of the Himalayas in Nepal WITHOUT getting altitude sickness.
Teach, Learn, Share
I'm always ready to trade stories of people I've met and places I've visited. Although I'm a newbie teacher, I can share some yoga knowledge too. I'm willing to learn almost anything!
What I Can Share With Hosts
Supposedly, I'm a good listener! I'm always down to have a good conversation, prepare and share a meal, and/or help out around the house as you need!
My Interests
I love to read, cook, eat, and spend time outdoors or indoors. I have a lot of broad interests, and I'm always open to developing new ones.
