We are overloaded with request- and will only consider request with complete profile. (No RV hook ups request please.) We value the cultural exchange and the couchsurfing spirit.

We are a family of 4 (soon to be 5) living in the East Bay hills. We like to travel, go hiking, hangout at the beach, go out to dinner, create cool stuff, scrapbook, and watch soccer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Promote peace, goodwill and understanding.

We've host amazing people for the last 10+ years, and stayed with wonderful people during our Round the World Trip in 2006. We like to share our culture and learn more about others while sharing a nice meal and a good bottle of wine in our home.
