"Schau, die schöne Welt!"('Look, the beautiful world!' – said my 3-year old self marvelling at a local mountain view.)I look after editorial content here at komoot so you might see my team and myself researching, planning and retelling the tales of all sorts of envy-inducing adventures.I'm originally from Austria but am currently living on England's sunny(ish) South Coast.Whether it's cycling, trail running or hiking — spending time outdoors is my life therapy! I started cycle commuting when living in London and trying to save money on public transport. However, I found my real passion for cycling a few years later. First by becoming part of a close-knit fixed gear community when I lived in the North West and then through experiencing that amazing sense of freedom when I bought my first road bike in 2013.My once-in-a-lifetime adventure on a bike was undoubtedly touring the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route (south to north) in 2016.Generally, I enjoy a real mix of cycling - on road/off road and riding with my young son.Currently seriously rediscovering the joy of trail and ultra running, especially from where I'm based in the South Downs National Park. 💚
