I'm not sure that it's a proper hobby, but walking. It doesn't require any special equipment--just go outside on a nice day, pick a direction, and go. I love the meditative effect it has on me. I also become much more aware of the communities I live in and visit when I just walk everywhere--I find lots of hidden gems that make places seem more alive.
And yes, if you find a rose during your walk, you can stop and smell it.
- unusximmortalis 11y agoThis is great, I know personally people in Europe doing this. They plan long walks for days and days. It's like an expedition in many ways.
- brador 11y agoDo they camp or hotel between walking parts? How long and far are some expeditions? Any examples?
- partisan 11y agoI recently started walking again and have done so 8 out of the past 9 days. I put my kids in the stroller and push them around. They get to see things and I meet a lot of nice people in the neighborhood. Where I live, there is no real sense of community, people just live in their houses without really speaking with their neighbors, but when we are walking, people seem to break out of their shell.
- cpursley 11y agoI do the same thing during lunch! Our suburban city just opened a nice mile long (and expanding) paved trail that's a quick walk from our house. It's nice to step out after the morning work load with the dogs. I make a point to stop and smell the roses (and honeysuckles). Lots of wildlife (snakes, deer, rabbits, hawks).
