I travel on foot and without an itinerary. Land somewhere, pick a direction, and let the day arrange itself around what you find. That is how you actually meet a place: not through the landmarks, but through the side streets, the corner shops, and the life happening in between.

Slow and unstructured, on purpose. I spend less time in curated museums and more time outside, where the city is still being itself. Nothing against museums; I would just rather spend those hours walking.

Walking is the obsession underneath all of it. I will cross a city on foot before I take a cab across it, and a hike is never the detour, it is the plan. The long way is usually the point.

Day trips run on the same logic. No bucket list, no must-see circuit. Get there early, walk until the place starts making sense, and leave the day unscheduled.
