Hello wonderful people!
I’m Daniel, a traveler, fitness instructor (not officially verified yet), volunteer, and someone who believes that the world becomes better when we lift each other up. Supporting others and finding happiness in their growth is what inspires me every day.

I’ve explored 18 out of 47 prefectures in Japan, as well as several Asian countries from snowy mountains to tropical beaches, always searching for new stories, new connections, and becoming a little more lost in the beauty of the world every time I travel.

皆さん、こんにちは！
ダニエルです。

私は旅行家で、（まだ正式な資格は持っていませんが）フィットネスインストラクター、そしてボランティアをしています。より良い世界とは、お互いを支え合い、成長を喜びと感じられる世界だと信じています。

日本の47都道府県のうち18を旅し、アジアの様々な国にも訪れました。
雪
を頂く山々から青い熱帯のビーチまで、
旅のたびに新しい物語や繋がりを見つけ、
世界の美しさに浸りながら幸せに過ごしています。

🌍 ボランティア活動
子どもたちの発達に関わることが好きで、
インドとスリランカで教育支援のボランティアをしてきました。
日本では、子ども向けの英語キャンプの支援や、
子どもと大人に英語と日本語を教えています。

トライアスロンのボランティアもしていて、
新しい挑戦に挑戦する人たちを応援しています。
誰かが限界に挑戦する姿を見ることほど感動的なことはありません。

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I helped create children’s education programs in India supporting kids who didn’t have access to English or global opportunities. Seeing them grow with confidence, dream bigger, and enjoy learning is one of the greatest achievements of my life.

I’ve also volunteered at triathlon events, cheering athletes as they push beyond their limits and witnessing their final steps to the finish line reminds me that human spirit has no boundaries.

Every time I travel, volunteer, or help someone believe in themselves…
it feels like another amazing moment added to my journey.
