Hey there, I’m Dan, a 37-year-old bloke living in the bustling city of Manchester. My passion for exploration and adventure led me to discover the world through backpacking. From hiking the Lake District to traversing the scenic countryside of England, I’ve covered quite a few miles with my trusty backpack. There’s something about the simplicity of it all that’s just incredibly liberating. I’ve always believed that the best way to understand a place is by immersing yourself in its culture and getting off the beaten path. When I’m not exploring the great outdoors, I’m working in the world of hospitality. I’ve spent years honing my skills, from tending bar to managing hotels. It’s a field that’s all about people, and I love meeting new faces and hearing their stories. There’s a unique satisfaction in making someone’s stay memorable and comfortable, and I take pride in being a part of that experience. In Manchester, I’ve found a balance between my love for travel and my career in hospitality. I’m always up for a chat about the best backpacking spots or the latest in the hospitality industry. If you ever find yourself in this vibrant city, give me a shout, and we can swap stories over a pint or two. Cheers!
