At OTBT we're more than just shoes. We're people. We're passionate about travel, adventure and the stories that are born from it. We're inspired by our own journeys... and by yours.

We've been in touch with Sarah Dorough for several months, sponsoring sneakers for her (very) active lifestyle as a Fitness Trainer and Level 10 Gymnast.

You might have spotted her in our stories doing cartwheels on escalators and hand stands in the streets. You can follow her inspiring lifestyle of motion at @sarahndorough and spot her pulling some seriously aspirational moves in OTBT shoes.

Today, we have the opportunity to share her story of adventure... and love. So get ready for all the fuzzy feels and maybe get inspired for an adventure of your own! Her adventure began on the unexpected social destination, Instagram. 

Our story

"Luke and I met on Instagram and had an instant connection. We started FaceTiming everyday and...

after months of chatting online, we knew we had to meet in person! Our only issue… we happen to live on the opposite side of the world from each other, but that didn’t stop us.

We decided to send it and see what it would lead to. Meeting in person was one of the best moments of my life, and one of the hardest when he had to leave. During that trip we started officially dating and the long distance began… after a few months, I got to make the trip out to him and we had the best adventures! We are in this for the long run and are doing everything we can to make this relationship work!" – Sarah

As a travelers ourselves at OTBT, we're reminded of so many forms of love that travel inspires, from falling in love with a breathtaking view to the people you meet along the way. But sometimes, it takes more that a dream. 

"As much as we want to see each other and start a life together, travel is just crazy expensive to fly across the World (Especially at our age)."– Sarah

(I think we can all relate) Moved by Sarah's story, we wanted to offer a way to help. After conversing, she sent me a link to her Go Fund Me page where those passionate about love and adventure can help fund her story. 

"Our goal is to continue to share our story and encourage others with it! With Your support we can make this a reality! Every little bit is highly appreciated and doesn’t go unnoticed. We want to thank you for taking part and supporting our story! Here’s to a future full of love and growth!"– Sarah
