Hello, I am Daniel
Born in 1979 in a quiet village in the canton of Bern, Switzerland, I spent my childhood in Grosshöchstetten before moving to the Swiss capital, Bern, where I resided until 2015.
In January 2015, I left on a new adventure and relocated to Hong Kong. Since then, I have enjoyed traveling to Asia for pleasure and work. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I started exploring the hiking trails in Hong Kong. I am also a proud father to an eleven-year-old football player.
Traveling & content creation
Creating Memories: My video creation is driven by the desire to capture memories for myself and for my son. While our kids are small, we don’t need to give them the most expensive toys. What they need are experiences. Time spent with them, memories they can remember when they grow older.
The Direct Experience: Also, I do have one important travel rule: “What you have not seen with your own eyes, you cannot comment on” – this drives me to explore places like provinces in the Philippines or the countryside of Thailand.
About work
In Hong Kong, I am leading the 31-member team at Teal Goal, based in Fortress Hill (Hong Kong), Shanghai (China), and Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam). We source products across Asia, primarily in the home improvement, gardening, and workshop sectors, while managing Quality Assurance and Supply Chain operations. Our products are distributed to over 290 retail chain stores in 19 European countries.
