Enjoying a Comfortable Journey in the Himalayas
Walking, once started, never ends. On July 24, the internationally renowned outdoor brand NORTHLAND from Austria proudly announced that renowned Austrian traveler and co-founder of NORTHLAND, Susanne Borufka, will serve as the brand’s “Walking” Ambassador, joining Chen Kun’s “Power to Go” initiative on a carefree walking journey through the Himalayas. It is reported that as a representative brand of comfortable outdoor living, NORTHLAND from Austria has specially provided a full set of outdoor equipment solutions for Chen Kun’s “Power to Go.” No matter how rugged the path, team members can still enjoy NORTHLAND’s most comfortable and carefree professional support, allowing their minds to be thoroughly purified and elevated through intimate communion with nature.
To many, the outdoors is synonymous with professionalism, but NORTHLAND brings Austria’s comprehensive comfort-oriented outdoor technology and products to China. Its brand philosophy of “Comfortable Movement, Free Spirit” has been highly recognized by the “Power to Go” team. As a public welfare project for mental development initiated by the famous actor Chen Kun, “Power to Go” has always advocated finding tranquility and inner enlightenment through walking. It is precisely this complete spiritual alignment and the comfortable experience with NORTHLAND products that led “Power to Go” to choose NORTHLAND from Austria as its sole designated equipment sponsor. Susanne Borufka was selected to become the NORTHLAND “Walking” Ambassador, joining Chen Kun on a journey of freedom.
It is understood that the NORTHLAND “Walking” Ambassador, Susanne, has a rather legendary background. As a well-known hiker from Austria, she has long-standing connections with China and the Himalayas. In 1974, Susanne Borufka once trekked in the Himalayas within Nepal. In the 1980s, she also worked in outdoor-related roles in Tibet.
Regarding her appointment as the brand’s “Walking” Ambassador, Susanne Borufka said: “Outdoor sports are extremely popular in Austria. Unlike the common perception that the outdoors is all about challenges, many Austrians nowadays place more emphasis on the comfort and ease of outdoor activities. They hope to achieve better harmony and relaxation between the mind and nature through outdoor sports. As the ‘Walking’ Ambassador, I want to share this outdoor philosophy and feeling with more friends in China, so that more people can experience the unique charm of outdoor activities!”
This year’s “Power to Go” theme is “Walk · Silence · Himalayas,” with the walking team traversing the Tibetan Plateau at an average altitude of 4,500 meters. To experience the freedom of comfortable walking on this Himalayan journey
