Medium:
Durational Walk

Duration:
7 days, 112 milesThe series was a first. I’ve never planned consecutive walks all taking place in the same city. Usually I walk from one place to another, sleeping in a different bed each night. Instead, I stayed in one location. Each morning, I left the house, took off in one direction, and saw a different part of the city. 

In the evening, when I was done walking, I relied on public transportation – a combination of light rail, subway, and bus – to bring me back home. I didn’t take a car the entire time. 

Prior to this series, I’d visited Los Angeles maybe four or five times, all experiences spent in a car being shuttled from one private space to another, with little understanding of what goes on in between.

I know Los Angles much better now, although I feel I walked a completely different city. One I’d never visited before. Read more here.
