Biography: Sarah Outen

Sarah Outen - MSN Travel blogger
In 2009 at the age of 24, Sarah Outen from Rutland, became the first woman to row solo across the Indian Ocean.

Her 124 day journey from Australia to Mauritius in her tiny six metre boat captured the imagination of people around the globe, earned her three Guinness World Records and cemented her reputation as Britain's most exciting female adventurer.

On 1 April 2011, Sarah will embark on the most difficult and dangerous solo expedition ever undertaken by a woman: London2London: Via the World. Plotting a route never before attempted, her record-breaking 20,000 miles adventure will see her rowing the North Pacific and Atlantic Oceans solo, as well as cycling across three continents.

On the way - mid-ocean, taking a quick break from cross-continental cycling - she will be providing thrilling blog posts for MSN Travel, in words and video.
