Hey, I’m Daniela (47).
Anyone who knows me knows I’ve never been one to sit still. I was born in Wuppertal, but ever since my boarding school days in Baden-Baden (right up to finishing high school), I’ve been all about discovering the world. I’ve always been the wanderlust one in my family—whether it’s living all over Germany, spending three months in Australia with a baby, a toddler, and a camper, or moving to the Netherlands seven years ago, I rarely stick around in one place for too long. And the best part? In 2004 I met Jens, the person with whom I can share all these adventures. And the kids? Well, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree 😊
I love planning and organizing things—and then actually doing them. By day, I’m at my desk chatting with colleagues in German, English, or Dutch. In the evenings and on weekends, you’ll either find me on our boat or in my beloved kitchen, whipping up little culinary treats for family and friends.
You can also catch me on LinkedIn at this link. So far, I’ve mostly done the writing part, but hopefully my kids will show some videos soon. Feel free to reach out at daniela@salingstingray.com or drop a comment here.
