One of my favorite activities in my free time maybe is a little boring, but I really enjoy walking and get lost in the city (obviously having my cellphone charged and with the internet OK, because most of the time I have to check google maps).
I usually do it when I have some free time at the university and I just go to walk I the near places to after comeback. However, sometimes I like to do it nearly my house and sometimes I have to take a bus and go home.
I think that the reasons of that I enjoy so much this is because I can distract myself and know new places to go again. Because, in my opinion, this “hobby” is forgotten by the people, I mean that most of us can have so much free time and we are always hurry (going to this place and vice versa), so I think that it is a really good alternative to think and have some personal time.
For example, one day I have a lot of free time and I didn´t have nothing to do, so I started to walk near the Universidad de Chile train station, and in one moment to other I realized that I get lost (maybe because I get into too much galleries). Nevertheless, I really remember have discover a lot of sweet stores and before, I mistake-giving directions to one couple that wanted to go to Baquedano train station.
In addition, in other opportunity I could found the Chinese mall that I was really looking hard, so in my point of view it is a good tool to find places.
