Daniel
Daniel is an researcher, teacher, composer and writer who now lives in Scotland. He worked in Indonesia for several years during the early years of the Gunung Bagging project and is a huge gamelan fan. More recently, Daniel has become Custodian and Project Manager for the World Ribus database of the 7149 most prominent peaks on Earth and lead author of The Relative Mountains of Earth (Pedantic Press, 2024), the first in a trilogy that will eventually form an immense metaphysical catalogue of the mountains of Earth, the Solar System and the oceans. His 2014 project ‘Making Tracks’ was supported by the Royal Geographical Society with a Neville Shulman Challenge Award, though it ended up being one of his least enjoyable projects for multiple reasons. He has given talks on “Exploring the Mountains and Volcanoes of Java” for the Anglo-Indonesian Society and the British Embassy in Jakarta and is available to speak on a wide range of related topics. In 2025 he launched independent Safety & Risk Reports covering all of Southeast Asia, drawing on years of field experience and research. You can order his e-book on Indonesian mountains here and order his e-book on Malaysian mountains here.
