Hello! I’m Dan Gifford
Author (D.J. Gifford), traveller, and storyteller from Brisbane, Australia.
New Book: 'No, I Won't Buy You a Drink!'
Growing up with hearing loss, an adventurous spirit, and restless curiosity, I chased meaning across continents. Through it all, I found kindness, laughter, and the power of saying hello.
Join me for stories of resilience, adventure, and the courage to be real.
“A trip down memory lane for every backpacker”
A must read for anyone who’s ever made the trek overseas as a backpacker. Very funny stories that almost every backpacker can relate to with a few life lessons along the way.
“Fantastic pre-digital travel journey”
Very enjoyable following the stories of travelling in the 1990’s when I also backpacked through Europe.. Enjoyed it much more than I expected. I’m a female and it’s great to read about social interactions from not only a males perspective, but from someone with hearing difficulties and health issues...
“Very absorbing and easy to read.”
For anyone who’s gone travelling, this book will give you a ride down memory lane. The author has also provided a fantastic underlying message about making the most of your life. Loved it and would highly recommend!
“A lovely trip down memory lane”
The book really resonated with me as an avid traveller and is a story of growth and resilience.
