ABOUT ME

Born to two parents and raised in a small town in rural South Australia, Jiffy was destined for bigger and brighter stuff than the local town hooligan and disgrace. So packing his bags, he has fled his previous existence to seek new sights and expand his horizons and so forth so on. I intend to travel the earth without a plane, so I've got some sweet adventures ahead of me. All I need to do is raise the funds...... Ha, not so easily done.

PHILOSOPHY

To not be too philosophical. Try to live free, not worry myself with the itsy bitsy stuff that makes living tedious. I'm here for a good time, and to make the most of this funny existence.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate as a traveller and host, meeting other travellers and hosts. And even meeting others who are not travellers or hosts. It's all OK. We all share our lives and experiences and lessons and magic and bugs and stories and hearts and music and fun stuff. Thats how I participate.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

CS has changed my life. It is the only way for me to travel now, I love the experience, the diversity, the local insight, the new friends. I've fallen in love, ate my favourite meals, moved into and lived, made the bestest of friends, been drunk, been philosophical, played chess and loved every experience through Couch Surfing. Even the funny weird ones. Loved them all.

Interests

Ohhh, I dunno, fun stuff. Meeting cool cats, seeing beautiful sights, eating awesome food, reading good books, conversations that enthrall, experiencing new cultures, learning new thing's about new cultures. I'm a teacher, so I figure, every little bit of cool info I can learn will help me bore my students later and waste time in the class so they don;t have to do any work, and instead ask me some banal question like "sir, have you been to Africa?" in which I will reply.....

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't really like reading, only looking at funny shiny things. My favorite movie is not made yet, I'm writing it. SO if you are a producer, please contact me. It's about Noah's (the guy with the ark) brother, who got left behind, and evolved into magic super dolphins. And they are rebuilding the Titanic to take it up to the surface to run as a holiday houseboat gig, for the rich and famous. The story will be about a beautiful dolphin who will fall in love with a human, have an affair, and have mutant babies that will be a big scandal on the ship.

It's gonna be called "TITANIC 2, the houseboat thingy of love".

Seriously,. let me know if you want to be involved.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don't want to sound trite, but isn't everything and everyday amazing? I suppose the solar eclipse, the sun rising over Uluru, a view of the beautiful Australian bush would be visual highlights.

Oh, I've also smoked pot inside Parliament House (ala Beatles), ran around naked on top of Uluru, hitch hiked around Australia, across Canada, walked across New Zealand, put on Doofs, made pancakes from thin air, and survived a bear attack in the Canadian woods. I also witnessed some crazy guy try and wrestle a crocodile, which, by degrees of separation means, I nearly wrestled a crocodile!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a school teacher of Psychology, so there is a bit of info there. I'm also involved in the wine industry so have a good bit of knowledge and skills there as well.
Always interested in learning new skills and thoughts.
