Take an alternate route
The quickest route is not always the best route
We are conditioned to moving fast and saving time. We seek the shortest and quickest routes. But when we travel, we miss the best things when we take the most time-efficient routes.
What can we learn from taking the back roads?
What new, unique discovery can we make when we take a longer, meandering, side route?
Who can we meet, and what conversations can we have, when our walk takes us 30 minutes instead of 10 minutes?
Notice more
Taking alternate routes helps us uncover surprises hidden behind the obvious. Those surprises lurk behind what we see, taste, and hear.
What does that peeping grotesque actually mean?
Why was top of that medieval building shaped as an octagon?
What does the inscription on the the pavement actually mean?
Unique interactions

What do the locals do for a living?
What do the locals think about me, my country, and my culture?
What are their fears and dreams, and we exchange our own perspectives?
