Try Flaneuring


Flaneuring became a 19th-century walking trend. Henry David Thoreau benefitted from its mind and body benefits as did Albert Einstein.

More than walking, it focuses on walking with intention; aimlessly.

A flaneur takes in the environment's sights and sounds with all the senses, but does not interact. The focus and goal follow existence, nothing else.




The American Psychological Association published a study in 2020 that revealed strolling without a destination enabled, "higher levels of joy and positive emotions." 

They discovered,  "daily distress decreased."



Take the opportunity today to discover how to benefit from flaneuring.

Find wonder in nature. Stray from the familiar and discover with all the senses.
