Description
Hi!
We are John and Kaitlyn, we are from Melbourne Australia, we are engaged and have been together for over 10 years.
We are currently travelling the world and will be doing quite a few months in Africa, we are both really interested in doing some volunteer work to give back, learn new things and create meaningful relationships and experiences.
Kaitlyn has experience in Administrative work, landscaping, childcare, cooking and hospitality.
John has a business back in Melbourne, landscaping construction, which has given him loads of experience in building, gardening, and handy work.
We both love yoga, meditation, hiking, reading, and travelling, also we are vegan and have been for many years now.
We are hoping to share our knowledge and skills while learning from future hosts. -
