Stephan Orth (b. 1979) is a travel writer based in Hamburg, Germany. He worked for the website of "Der Spiegel" for nine years, then quit the job to become a freelancer. His book "Couchsurfing in Iran" sold more copies than any other travel book in 2015 in Germany, "Sorry, wir haben die Landebahn verfehlt" ("Sorry, we missed the rundway") reached the top position of German bestseller charts. His works have been translated into ten foreign languages.

Two of his feature stories, one about Russia and one about China, won the Columbus Award for travel writers. His work was published in Der Spiegel, Spiegel Online, National Geographic, Max, Mare, ADAC Reisemagazin and Courier Mail. He received a Japan scholarship from Bosch-Stiftung and took part in the "China Media Ambassador" program. In March 2017 he published his latest book "Couchsurfing in Russia", a story of a trip through the biggest country in the world where he used the website couchsurfing.org to stay with local people in every place he visited. Orth owns five backpacks, four sleeping bags and three tents, but no wheeled suitcase.
