Chloé Schmidt

Reviewer for the American and German editions

A German-American who has lived in France for more than ten years, Chloé reviews our American and German editions in her two native languages, and writes the occasional piece. She enjoys horse riding, surf and snow sports, mountain biking and mountain walking.

Full of energy and passion, Chloé loves horse riding, climbing and mountaineering, swimming, hiking, surfing, kitesurfing and skiing. She also does skydiving and paragliding, microlight flying and hang gliding, high ropes courses and motorsport, from quad bikes to buggies. Most summers, she goes hiking in the mountains and hurtles down the slopes on a downhill mountain bike.

On Outfarer, she is first and foremost the native-speaker reviewer for the American and German editions: she checks that every article reads naturally for an American or German reader, with the right words, the right units and the right points of reference. Once she has reviewed an article, ‘Reviewed by Chloé Schmidt’ or ‘Gegengelesen von Chloé Schmidt’ appears in its byline. For the American edition, she checks the units, from miles to degrees Fahrenheit, the names of institutions and the habits particular to the country; for the German edition, the tone and the vocabulary in use in Germany.

She also writes from time to time, mostly in American English or German, about surf and snow sports, mountain biking or mountain walking. Like the rest of the magazine, her writing draws on open, cited sources and is kept up to date; any factual correction is noted at the bottom of the page.

She has been part of the team since the magazine launched in 2026, and brings it an invaluable perspective: that of a reader who lives between three languages and knows what changes from one country to another.
