If your shoes could talk, what story would they tell?
They would tell a story of an ever-changing journey, filled with dynamic energy and constant motion. They’d speak of the exciting challenges faced and the way every step was met with a fresh perspective. They’d describe the highs and lows, but through it all, they would convey the importance of adapting, evolving, and embracing every opportunity for growth.

You’re on holiday in your dream vacation destination. Where are you? Tell us your day’s plan.
I’m in Bali, Indonesia, enjoying a slow morning with the sun shining down as I relax by the pool. My day includes savoring avocado toast for breakfast in a floating tray, surrounded by fresh fruits and music, fully immersed in the peaceful surroundings. Then I explore the local areas, visit temples and take in the natural beauty around me. I finish the day with a serene sunset yoga session, followed by some traditional Indonesian dishes, enjoying the flavours and the calming atmosphere of the island.
