Hi, I am Sarah and lived my whole life in Winterthur, Switzerland. I have always been pretty active as a kid, I still do gymnastics at a local gymnastics club. In addition to gymnastics, I love cycling and hiking. When I rode my bike from Winterthur to Amsterdam for the first time four years ago, I discovered my passion for bikepacking. I was inspired by my older brother, who has also been on many bike trips. After my trip to Amsterdam, I knew that I wanted to go on a bike trip for a longer period of time. In the last few years, I have done many smaller bikepacking trips (to Zermatt, Ljubljana or through the French and Spanish Pyrenees). This year I'm finally fulfilling my dream and will ride my bike from Switzerland to Norway (Tromsø) all by myself and alone.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

During my trip this year from Switzerland to Tromsø I want to get inspired by new people, have a conversation and learn about their lives. I'm happy to get to know you better and spend a good time :).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My bikepacking tour through the Pyrenees was not only a physical challenge, but also a mental one. At the beginning, I was unsure whether I would be able to do this route. But when I did it, I felt happy and was proud of myself :)
