A devotee of the outdoors from an early age, Daniel started his career as a hiking guide in Spain all the way back in the 90s, before settling as a backcountry guide in New Zealand. Although he’s now co-owner of a successful guiding company and more focused on tour research and development, he still gets out and about guiding some hiking trips, as well as participating in cool mountain running and biking events.
