“ Walking remains one of the best means of seeing and interacting with a culture. No boundaries exist, other than the ones you set for yourself. In the tourist world of packaged tours, seen through closed windows of air-conditioned buses, with carefully prepared cultural events, performed daily for tourists, directed through the conscientious efforts of hired guides, the genuine “travel experience” becomes increasingly rare. But seeing out on foot, on your own, is usually all it takes to uncover the sought-after glimpse of life as lived in a strange place
~ Joel Simon
