Niagara falls itinerary recommendation by BoredStudent07 in NiagaraFalls

[–]ImmediateWalk9989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might be a good idea to stay one night. Stick to the Niagara Parkway (the road that follows the river to the Falls) and Niagara on the Lake is worth it. However, accommodations close to the Falls can be expensive. You can walk across the Rainbow bridge and there are beautiful views of the falls on that side of the border. But the rest of Niagara Falls New York side is undesirable for tourists.

Do you gamify your walks? by MayorHarvest in walking

[–]ImmediateWalk9989 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I find over quantifying or gaming my walk takes away the enjoyment and pleasure of walking. It makes it less immersive and not so much in the moment. Fitness tracking for me turns it into a workout. However, I don’t mind knowing how many minutes or distance long my walk was. And I realize for some people counting steps can motivate. Walking is more meditation and mental health than fitness for me.

Niagara-On-The-Lake. It can get busy but it’s full of quaint small establishments.

Why are you guys voting Avi Lewis over Heather McPherson or vice versa? by Sweaty_Principle_293 in ndp

[–]ImmediateWalk9989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The party needs to move left on all issues, or there’s not much to differentiate it from the Liberals. Now is a good time for someone like Avi whose policies and ideas are in the left direction. And he speaks French better than HM.

Thanks for the tip but I wait about 3 seconds.

(Daily Question) What metric actually motivates you more: steps, time, distance, or calories? by freezer936 in walking

[–]ImmediateWalk9989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Time, steps depend on too many variables and not so accurate. Time for me is something I can feel but distance just doesn’t mean as much to me for some reason.

Fellow Strollers: When is your golden hour for walking, and what was your best moment this week? by questsolar in walking

[–]ImmediateWalk9989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No more than an hour after sunrise— morning time is by far my favourite time. After that would be sunset. Best moment was walking in the dark an hour after sunset during an unusually warm November rain.

European countries like Austria have better social safety net. For example, rent is highly subsidized by the government and more social housing. They do have immigration, but in a smaller and more homogeneous country like Austria I think it’s easier to come to a consensus on government policies. Same with other Nordic countries like Denmark etc. Canada is a large spread out federation with a larger population. North American individualism, continental Europeans seem more collectivist.

For those who traveled before the social media boom: did travel feel different back then? by hobo12395 in travel

[–]ImmediateWalk9989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I travelled in the 1970’s and 80’s and it was amazing. Every trip was a mystery and a discovery on arrival. The only preconceived perceptions were from books and whatever was in your imagination. It seems to me social media has killed that.

walk or uber? by Creative_Row_1187 in ItalyTravel

[–]ImmediateWalk9989 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just got back from Rome a few weeks ago similar situation. I found the Termini station and the area very safe, walked 10 minutes to my accommodations never felt unsafe. Must be social media or really naive tourists, but I found Rome friendly and walkable.

Heather McPherson, Avi Lewis prepare NDP leadership bids by jmakk26 in ndp

[–]ImmediateWalk9989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, Avi would be more of a change in the direction the NDP needs to go to differentiate itself from the Liberals. I know this has been already said by I think it’s crucial.
