MY PASSION FOR THE DESERT AND ADVENTURE – FAR AWAY FROM CIVILISATION

I’M DANIELA – AN ADVENTURER, DESERT ENTHUSIAST, AND FOR MANY YEARS ACTIVE IN THE WORLD OF OFFROAD TRAVEL.

TRAVELLING HAS ALWAYS BEEN A PART OF MY LIFE. EVER SINCE MY CHILDHOOD, WE WERE OFTEN ON THE ROAD. LATER, WITH MY OWN FAMILY AND MY THREE NOW-ADULT CHILDREN, I TOOK COUNTLESS JOURNEYS. EVEN WHEN THEY WERE VERY YOUNG, I TOOK THEM ALONG ON OFFROAD TOURS – THE FASCINATION FOR TRAVEL AND DISCOVERY HAS ALWAYS BEEN PART OF US. IT’S IN OUR BLOOD.

IN THE 1990s, I COMPLETED A THREE-YEAR APPRENTICESHIP IN A TRAVEL AGENCY, WHERE I LEARNED HOW TO PLAN AND ORGANIZE TRIPS PROFESSIONALLY – A SOLID FOUNDATION THAT STILL SERVES ME WELL TODAY. AT THE AGE OF 20, I FULFILLED MY DREAM OF A ROUND-THE-WORLD TRIP.

FOR ABOUT TWO DECADES, I PLANNED, ORGANIZED AND PERSONALLY LED TOURS THROUGH MY OWN OFFROAD ADVENTURE COMPANY – STARTING IN TUNISIA, AND LATER ALSO IN NAMIBIA AND MOROCCO. FOR ME, THERE IS NOTHING MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN FEELING THE FREEDOM OF NATURE, CROSSING DUNES AND EXPERIENCING UNFORGETTABLE ADVENTURES FAR AWAY FROM CIVILISATION TOGETHER WITH LIKE-MINDED PEOPLE.

IN 2016, I LEFT SWITZERLAND AND FOUNDED A QUAD BUSINESS IN MOROCCO. IT WAS VERY SUCCESSFUL – UNTIL COVID CHANGED EVERYTHING. AFTER ALMOST 2.5 YEARS OF BORDER CLOSURE IN MOROCCO, CONTINUING THE BUSINESS WAS SIMPLY NO LONGER FEASIBLE. IN 2023, I MADE THE DIFFICULT DECISION TO CLOSE THAT CHAPTER AND RETURN TO SWITZERLAND.

I HAVE NOW REACTIVATED THIS WEBSITE BECAUSE IT IS A PROJECT CLOSE TO MY HEART: I WANT TO SHARE MY EXPERIENCE, MY PASSION FOR THE DESERT AND MY STRONG LOCAL CONNECTIONS WITH OTHERS. IN THE COUNTRIES I OFFER, I FEEL AT HOME – AND I’M HAPPY TO HELP OTHERS DISCOVER THESE PLACES, EVEN THOSE WHO HAVE NEVER TAKEN A TRIP LIKE THIS BEFORE.

MY GOAL IS TO INSPIRE ENTHUSIASM – FOR THE MAGIC OF THE DUNES, THE OFFROAD ADVENTURE, AND THE ENCOUNTERS WITH LOCAL PEOPLE. MANY OF MY GUESTS HAVE BECOME REGULAR PARTICIPANTS – AND SOME HAVE EVEN FOUND A SECOND HOME IN “MY” COUNTRIES.

IT WOULD BE A PLEASURE TO ONE DAY SHARE THIS PASSION WITH YOU.

SOME TOURS WILL ALSO BE PERSONALLY ACCOMPANIED BY ME.
