So interesting, thanks for sharing, Victoria! My husband and I have always liked exploring new cities like this - whether on a visit or when moving to a new place. Not doing all the touristy things, but just wandering aimlessly around and taking it all in, noticing the small and beautiful moments and sights. Copenhagen, Frankfurt, Barcelona, Hanover ... - and several times London. 🩷 Walking is something I enjoy very much. For me it's the perfect pace. :)

So sorry I missed your message, Claudia! I love the pace of walking too - slow enough to be able to really take in what you see around you and really discover somewhere. Also with the option to pop into a lovely cafe or a bookshop if the mood takes you. ☺️

There is something so grounding and clarifying about walking. It brings me back to the present moment and to the core of my soul, as I experience everything around me as new and inspiring, even if I am walking an old path. Thank you so much for this story and for the book tips! xx

It’s such a great way of centring yourself, isn’t it? There are few things in life that a good walk won’t help you get to grips with and it’s a great way of tracking the seasons. Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy the books! xx

A wonderful read, you definitely found some interesting sights while exploring. I agree, walking and moving is so important when we have desk day jobs.

I bought a standing desk too, which has really helped but I feel a lot of peace when I walk. It helps me feel in tune with everything around me and it’s a great way for noticing all the seasonal changes. I bet there are some fabulous walks near you.
