About Me

Hey everyone, I'm Danger Dave and I live for adrenaline and extreme sports. I'm Swiss/American and I've spent 27 years in Switzerland before heading to Barcelona for 2 years to start my own party business. Where I went drinking and partying with tourists from all over the world!
But my real passion is extreme sports, so I'm planning to move to the USA and open my own extreme sports park in Utah. But before I take off, I want to spend one last year in Lungern, Switzerland, my hometown.

I work half time at a mountain resort and the other half I offer some fun tours on my own over get your guide and other travel platforms. So if you're into that sort of thing, you can join me for some epic adventures.
On my days off, I can show you the most amazing places in Switzerland, or we can get our adrenaline pumping with some extreme activities, or we can just party with my friends. It's always a blast meeting new people and sharing the love for adventure!

Oh, and did I mention I started my own music festival in 2014? It's on pause right now, but once I'm settled in the US, I'll be bringing it back. In the meantime, I still organize some small concerts every now and then. And if you stay at my place during a concert, you'll get a free VIP pass. How cool is that?

So if you're up for an adventure, some good music, and a whole lot of fun, come hang out with me in Switzerland before I make my big move. Can't wait to meet you all!

Music, Movies, and Books

So, I've been exploring different music genres lately, and let me tell you, I'm like a sponge, ready to soak up all the amazing tunes out there. But you know what's funny? At my third birthday party, I got a Metallica album! Yeah, you heard it right. Metallica at three years old. Now, I'm rocking out like a true metalhead!
I mean, who needs nursery rhymes when you can jam to "Enter Sandman," right? So, here I am, all grown up, still headbanging to Metallica, and people are like, "Wait, you like metal?" And I'm like, "Yeah, baby! I've been rocking since my toddler days!"

But hey, don't get me wrong. I'm not just a one-genre wonder. I'm open to all kinds of music. Metallica might be my first love, but I'm ready to explore, expand, and conquer new musical territories.
From country to classical, pop to electro, I'm here for it all!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It's impossible to list just one! I've got thousands of mind-blowing moments, but I'll give you a taste of my top 6 highlights. Get ready to be amazed!

Number one on my list is getting certified in skydiving. Yup, I took a leap of faith and jumped out of a perfectly good airplane. The rush, the adrenaline, the wind in my hair - it was absolutely insane!

Now, hold on tight because we're flying all the way to South Africa for number two. I embarked on a 12-week adventure that was filled with crazy adrenaline activities. I'm talking bungee jumping, shark cage diving, you name it! I practically turned into an action hero during that trip.

But wait, there's more! Number three is all about moving to the fabulous city of Barcelona and starting my very own business. Who needs a boring desk job when you can be your own boss, am I right? Barcelona, here I come!

Now, let's turn up the volume because number four will blow your mind. I created my very own music festival! Picture this: epic stages, incredible artists, and a crowd that's ready to dance their hearts out. It was a party like no other!

But hold on, because number five takes us underwater for an adrenaline-filled dive. And guess who I encountered? Wild, living crocodiles! Yeah, I know, it sounds crazy, but I survived to tell the tale. Crocodile Dundee has nothing on me!

Last but not least, number six. Brace yourselves for the most jaw-dropping, heart-pounding moment of my life. I bungee jumped out of a helicopter... wait for it... into an active volcano! Can you imagine the heat, the lava, and the sheer insanity of it? It was like being in a movie, except it was my real-life adventure!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm also a master in the kitchen. That's right, I'm a cooking wizard! So, if you want to save some cash during your stay and still enjoy a delicious meal, I got you covered. I'll whip up something amazing for you, absolutely free! Just think of me as your personal chef, bringing you culinary delights from around the world.

If I have some free time on my hands, I would be more than happy to take you on a tour of the city. I'll show you all the hidden gems and must-see spots. It's like having your own personal tour guide, but way cooler!

There are so many other exciting things I can offer you. From hiking adventures to cultural experiences, the possibilities are endless. Just think of me as your go-to person for all things fun and memorable!
