WHY OF URBAN WANDERER:

I love walking.  To me, this is the most effective way of understanding a city.  I get to use all of my senses to experience a city, I let the sights, sounds, smells and sometimes tastes (who doesn't like a great meal!) guide me.

This is not in opposition to guided or defined tours, using other methods of moving about like bicycles, vehicles, or transit, or walking outside of cities.  This is a focus on the joy of wandering, the different ways that we can read and understand cities, and the different ways that different cities may communicate with us.
