Where to walk

 WHERE DO YOU GO TO WALK

Be smart,stay safe and have fun.

DO NOT WALK - On street, Parking lots,Area totally unknown to you,Any area that makes you fee

                               unsecure, uneven,slippery or rock terrain,bad or weather threaten 

 

                               Before you decided to walk ,consider that the weather may dictate which venue

                               you select for walk or it may be your schedule for the day.

LOCAL PARK:- 

 One of favorite walking venue is Park..Every park with walking path. If you haven't been in the park, do some research on the internet about park facility at your community.

LOCAL NEIGHBOR HOOD:

Some neighberhoods are more conducive to take a walk than others. Walk on the place looking newly planted flowers blossoming trees and checking out the decorative small boutique store fronts, sometime sipping brewed coffee.

OUT DOOR STRIPMALL

If  you are going to go grocery shopping or to pickup some office supply etc., find a stripmall with an outdoor walkway from one end to the other preferably with side walk.You can check out some of the sale in the store front windows and then go shoping after you're had a nice long relaxing walk. Make the shopping itself part of your walk-take the longer path around the store as you shop.

INDOOR MALL: 

When the weather is too cold ,rainy or snowy to walk outside plus there are always new things to check out and great little snack spots to try out when its time for refreshment.

THE CITY

If you are city dwellers then you already kno how many walking options you have in your neighborhood.You can walk  a different route almost everytime. You explore the day and its less known side streets parks and such. If you live in suburbs take public transportation into the city and make it a day or a hafday trip. Explore an art gallery you haven't been to in a while, A city park or museum. You can always rest relax after your invigorating city walk on the way home on the train.

FESTIVALS SHOWS AND FAIRS.

During the warmer weather there are always local festivals carnivals, crafts shows ,art fairs and holiday celebration events to offer some excitement to your walking. Take in some live music. Join in with the holiday celebration with around mingle with the crowd and explore.

Where ever you walk, try to create a friendly atmosphere with others by waving 👋, or saying hi / hello or good day,  to people who you would meet during walking. Keep walking with a smile, which would give a positive vibe for oneself and others. My personal experience, I always prefer walking in a region where I know the local language there by, it is easy to socialize and connect with people rather than walking in areas, where I am not comfortable with the local language like Bangalore or Mumbai.
