What’s your relationship with walking when you travel?
I’ve realised over my last few trips that I love walking around the cities and has now become the favorite part of "how and where" I travel.
I still use public transport when I need to, but honestly I just love wandering around with no real plan. Taking random turns, ending up on random streets, even residential spaes - love to check those out. Finding actual "local shops" not the ones mentioned on Instagram as "local". Google Maps help a lot (amongst others that I use). All in all seeing the more everyday parts of a place.
It’s changed how I judge places too. Some cities like in Spain feel amazing on foot, while some cities are just filled with Tourist spots. Not always a bad thing, but just a preference of now preferring the former with a little bit of latter.
Curious if anyone else is like this, or if walking is more just a way to get from one thing to another for you. For me it’s become one of the primary parts of travelling, even if my feet don't always agree by the end of the day.
