Hi! I’m Quim Costa

Passionate for history, cycling and nature

I’m passionate about exploring the world slowly — whether by bike or on foot. For me, travel is about more than just reaching a destination; it’s about the journey, the people, and the stories along the way. I love discovering local flavors, diving into regional history, and sharing meaningful moments with the people I meet. Gastronomy, culture, and connection guide my adventures — one step, one pedal stroke, one conversation at a time.

I was born in Camprodon, a mountain village in the heart of the Catalan Pyrenees. Today, I’m based in Switzerland, surrounded by alpine beauty that continues to inspire my adventures — whether I’m cycling quiet mountain passes or hiking ancient trails.

Rain and Mud

The name Rain and Mud was born from a ride that perfectly captured the spirit of bikepacking. After a long day pedaling through relentless rain and sticky mud, I arrived home soaked, dirty, and exhausted—yet smiling. That moment reminded me that even in the toughest conditions, there’s joy to be found in the journey. Rain and Mud is a tribute to that spirit—embracing the challenges, the mess, and the beauty of the ride.
