About Mount_Magdalena
('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, open water swimming 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 and baby daughter.
Currently seriously rediscovering the joy of trail and ultra running, especially from where I'm based in the South Downs National Park. 💚
