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 horseback riding, surf and snow sports, mountain biking, and mountain hiking.

High-energy and passionate, Chloé loves horseback riding, climbing and mountaineering, swimming, hiking, surfing, kitesurfing, and skiing. She also goes skydiving and paragliding, flies ultralights and hang gliders, and does ropes courses and motorsports, from ATVs to dune buggies. Most summers, she heads to the mountains to hike and bombs down the slopes on a downhill mountain bike.

On Outfarer, she’s 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 used in Germany.

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

She’s been part of the team since the magazine launched in 2026, and she brings it a valuable perspective: that of a reader who lives between three languages and knows what changes from one country to the next.
