learned along the way, and has always returned enriched &#8211; although financially reduced each time.<\/p>\n<p>Basel is his home, the Alemannic his linguistic origin, and the diverse three-country region of Switzerland &#8211; France &#8211; Germany his cultural area.<\/p>\n<p>At 12, Daniel cycled alone to Zurich, at 13 he travelled alone to Marseille, at 15 he attended the Olympic Games in Montreal, at 17 he glided on cross-country skis along the east coast of Greenland over long mountain ridges and frozen fjords, at 19 he moved from island to island in the Azores, at 21 he hiked along the Sassel and Temple fjords on Spitsbergen\/Svalbard, at 28 he travelled as a &#8216;hunter&#8217; through grass-green Mongolia and the dusty Gobi Desert, and at 33 he explored Antarctica, from Cape Adare to the Lemaire Channel.<\/p>\n<p>Between these cornerstones, he travelled everything that was geographically and financially within his reach (and sometimes really challenging, for example the march through Pakistan, from Swat to Hunza Valley).<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-modal modal fade modal-1 modal11\" tabindex=\"-1\" role=\"dialog\" aria-labelledby=\"modal-heading-1\"

archipelago, competing with young seals; with two children he cycled through Scotland and the Orkneys in all weathers, with three children he travelled through Siberia (Baikal region) and the north of Russia (from Krasnoyarsk to Dudinka and Norilsk), and with all four children he cycled through Denmark and on foot across Iceland &#8211; always with the most beautiful and sporty wife at his side.<\/p>\n<p>For several weeks they travelled by car from east to west through the USA (southern states), and later from west to east (northern states), and by train from south to north through Japan. Or the family trekked, guided by local guides, on camelback through Libya, from Sabha to the Akkakus Mountains, or they waded on foot, supported by porters, twice across the Masoala Peninsula in Madagascar.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, the family travelled comfortably through Oman and the UAE (and slept in tents as well as in the best hotels in the region&#8230;), or toured Sri Lanka in a private bus (but even there the highest mountains lured). Or the family discovered the diversity of the Philippines: Across barely accessible terraced rice landscapes, through labyrinthine cave systems, to sophisticated beach life. Or they experienced the impossible in India, including breakneck rides on the local &#8216;highways&#8217; and tracking safaris to free-roaming tigers.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, every now and then it was super comfortable: at 25, he went to Moscow and then on to Beijing on the Trans-Siberian (and all the way to Hong Kong in wooden class); at 55, he treated himself to a cruise, around the globe in 106 days.<\/p>\n<p>Now (winter 2020\/21) Daniel is approaching 60, the children are &#8216;out&#8217; and exploring the inner and outer world themselves. Still reasonably fit, all those destinations and variants for which one should be either very young or very experienced are therefore tempting: Only by water can you reach all those remote people and hidden natural beauties that are denied you by land-based means of transport.<\/p>\n<p>Exactly: circumnavigating Europe and exploring the most remote regions from the water is what Daniel (as a resident of a landlocked country!) now wants to tackle &#8211; although water is not his element at all. But who knows whether the two will become closer and reconcile during this journey? In any case, his boat must be like his touring bike, with which he so often went on exploratory trips: stable, easy-running, with the bare essentials (tent, sleeping bag, camping kitchen) to be able to land spontaneously anywhere &#8211; to concentrate on the moment and get involved with the respective counterpart.<\/p>\n<p>You can find out more about Daniel, his career and his profession at <a
