Descrição

Hi, I'm Daniel. I wander the earth with a head full of questions and a heart racing from that double espresso I had earlier. I quit my comfortable job in Switzerland in 2018 to focus on travelling outwards and within, a decision I have not regretted even once. The wonderful strangeness of the places and people I've encountered along the way has taught me deep humility and gratitude for my own privilege.

I travelled wide and far before coming to Portugal and eventually settling in Lisbon for a while. At the moment, I'm taking a much-needed break from city life by going around the country in my temperamental old car which for the time being is also my home. I'm working on a private project and am looking for inspiration and distraction in the ambitions of people around me. I'm here to contribute and to learn, to give and to share.

I have a background in history and IT but I find it hard to sit still behind a desk. I'm quite handy with all manner of tools and have some experience (privately and professionally) in garden work. I speak English, Dutch, German, some French and Spanish and enough Portuguese to explain to the mechanic why my car isn't running properly every other week.

I practice yoga, I like to go on long hikes, I skateboard when I can, I write a lot. I'm not much of a wizard in the kitchen, but I can bake a loaf of bread that'll disappear before it gets a chance to cool off. I welcome solitude just as much as I appreciate the company of friends and strangers. Empathy is my religion.

Quais são suas habilidades?

My experience working as an information management expert in the public and private sector is perhaps not very relevant here, but I've also worked as a DIY store sales assistant, assembled heavy-duty electric motors in a factory, worked as a gardening assistant maintaining public parks and green spaces and taught languages to 14-16 year old kids.

I have stayed in hundreds of hostels and guesthouses all over the world and have helped out here and there, though never in an official capacity. As a veteran traveller, I am thouroughly familiar with the backpacking/tourism scene. I've also hosted dozens of travellers in my own home and played city guide to many more.
