I also love walking because it's more immersive. We can directly observe the locals. We are all hikers, so it would be a shame not to walk a few kilometers when we can climb mountains for multiple days. But carrying a luggage while walking on the street is like announcing that we are tourists. While it was a little bit embarrassing, we didn't have much of a choice.
I hope to see similar scenes here in our cities where trees are lining the streets.
