My name is Joe and I'm the definition of laid back. Always goes with the flow. I like to make plans as they happen and believe things will turn out for the best naturally. My wife, Mary Beth, on the other hand likes to plan and take care of events and really interact with the people around her.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've always enjoyed the times I got to go hosteling around Europe. The USA needs more of these communities because they are genuinely interesting and fun!

Big Pearl Jam fan. Also, Foo Fighters and Red Hot Chili Peppers. I like most music. The band I am in is a classic rock cover band.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I got married, I was awestruck when I got to watch my wife walk down the aisle to me. The best part was she was that she was so nervous she forgot her bouquet! We made it through alright though!

I get to play with musicians in the rock and roll hall of fame once in a while.
