ABOUT ME

We're two best mates who grew up in Melbourne and have worked together for the last five years. We've moved around a lot and last lived in Perth before moving to Kiama. We love meeting new people and trying new things, and generally making the most of life!

PHILOSOPHY

- F@%k it, why not
- Work to live not live to work
- Those people look interesting, lets go say G'day
- Honestly is the best policy

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

New to this but sounds like a great idea and look forward to both hosting people and meeting people on our travels around the world. Unfortunatley guys I won't be able to host from 04 Dec 2009 till 16 Jan 2010 as I will be on a six week party trip in the US, after then fill your boots!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Had an absolutely AWESOME time with everyone who has stayed with us!!! Never surfed anyone's couch with this system yet, but have stayed with randoms all over Australia and the World

Interests

We both love our music, movies, travelling and getting debaurcherously drunk! Jimmy likes kiteboarding and cars, Shannon travels more and buys extravagant items of little practical use.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Apart from the hundreds of unbeleivable times in our flying careers, Jimmy's would be fighting a Sumo in front of a stadium crowd at the age of nine, and Shannon's would be crashing the stage at a random Bangkok xmas party and being cheered on by a few thousand people during my somewhat ordinary rendition of Ronin Keating's "When you say nothing at all".

Teach, Learn, Share

We have vast knowledge of useless trivia and like to discuss ridiculous ideas - and sometimes end up carrying them out! Jimmy is pretty good with history and geography, Shannon is great with scientific stuff - We've both experienced a lot in our short time on this earth and are always keen to share what we've learnt/done with anyone who is willing to listen.
