I love to walk, I commute to work, yoga, and most things via walking. When I am away from my home I take this passion with me. Walking through an old a familiar place is a joyful experience in relishing all of the things you love about your home. Walking a new city, however is a special joy, it gives you the chance to immerse yourself in a place on an intimate level. Take in the small unique details that make a place special and to smell the flowers.
I especially love this part, even in the biggest cities there are beautiful green nooks and parks filled with families. I get a special joy from a walk in the sun, smiling at strangers, and listening to the sounds of the city passing by. When you walk, the advantage is that if you see something, it is easy to pause and detour, there is no GPS to reroute or train to catch, you can follow your whims
