Behind the pseudonym "Couchflucht"(= Escape from the couch) is a real nature and outdoor freak:

Sabrina Bechtold, born and raised in the hustle and bustle of the Ruhr area in Germany.

Ever since I can remember, I have been drawn to nature, the forests and the mountains - whether in the immediate vicinity or in far-off, exotic countries.

Nothing makes me happier than being outside, taking mountainbike tours and above all hiking!

COUCHFLUCHT is my outdoor blog for travel enthusiasts, hiking and nature lovers, outdoor fans, adventurers and mountain bikers.

For my loyal readers I regularly publish tips and authentic hiking and travel reports from all over the world, product recommendations and expressive landscape photos.

The aim is to take my community out of their everyday life and motivate them to leave couch to experience small or big adventures nature.

I take them with me on my various journeys to near and far destinations and I am also a source of inspiration for their next outdoor activities, mostly short or multi-day hiking and mountain bike tours.
