About Me

April 6, 2020 - Sorry, we are not accepting guests at this time. Once the Shelter in Place and Social Distancing recommendations for COVID-19 are lifted we will be accepting requests. Be Kind. Be Safe. Love each other.

Before you request a stay with us please note the following: We require CS hosting references and verification. To ensure that couchsurfers are reading our full profile put the “PASS PHRASE “ found in the home section in your request.

We are accepting couchsurfers who share the view that couchsurfing is more than a free place to stay. It is a way to be part of an awesome community, to be helpful, generous, considerate and kind.

Thank you!

Joe and JoAnne have lived in Sacramento for almost 30 years. JoAnne is originally from Mill Valley, CA. Joe is originally from Boston, MA. We met and lived in San Francisco before moving to Sacramento. JoAnne works as a Digital Marketing Strategist at Shriners Hospitals for Children - Northern California. Joe is a general contractor and his hobbies are drums and golf. We love to hike, travel and meet new friends. We have a small rescue dog named Sammy. We think he is a "dorkie" terrier (Dachshund/Yorkie).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We love to travel and meet new people. We love to host couchsurfers who embody the couchsurfing spirit of community and cultural exchange. We have learned and shared so much with our couch surfers. We miss traveling and meeting great people but couchsurfing can bring great people to us. We would love to share a meal and a laugh to make you feel at home.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

JoAnne has walked 3 long distance pilgrimages (Spain, Portugal, Denmark) and Joe got a hole-in-one (same odds as dying in an Asteroid Apocalypse, 1 in 12,500 - if you believe the Daily Beast!)

Teach, Learn, Share

JoAnne is a life-long learner and continues to take courses at our local college. She can teach you to make a home made apple pie or chocolate cake and would love to share a good laugh. Joe is a constant student in the art of golf and drumming and would love to share a beer or have a jam session if you have a guitar. We are accepting couchsurfers who share the view that couchsurfing is more than a free place to stay. It is a way to share, be generous, considerate and kind from both sides. We require CS hosting references and verification. To ensure that couchsurfers are reading our profile please put the “pass phrase” found in the home section in your request. Thank you!

JoAnne can help with your WordPress site and teach you how to make a home made apple pie or chocolate cake, Joe is Mr. Fix-It and has brought back to life quite a few machines or appliances. We like to have good conversation and find out about people and their interests.
