Though we're a couple, Kate manages the CS account.

We're from Cincinnati, USA. Currently living in Honolulu, Makiki area. Kate works as a medical case manager for people with HIV experiencing homelessness. John works as a server in a fine dining restaurant. Our work schedules affect our ability to say yes to hosting requests.

Recently returned Peace Corps Volunteers. We spent 2018-2020 in a rural village in Zambia primarily working as environmental volunteers with a secondary focus on malaria, HIV/AIDS education and prevention, food security and nutrition.

We love volunteering, promoting social justice, eating vegetarian goodies, language, culture, celebrating differences, drinking (quite a bit) and making new friends from all over the world.
