Ended up here somehow.
Day 446
Walking tall
March 20th, 2013
I'm walking every street in New York City.
This is the counterpoint to my walk across the US. Instead of seeing a million places for just a minute each, I'm going to spend a million minutes exploring just one place. By the time I finish walking every block of every street in all five boroughs, I'll have traveled more than 8,000 miles on foot — all within a single city. Details!

Your donations allow me to keep walking full-time. If you think what I'm doing is valuable and you'd like to offer some support, I would be very grateful. On the other hand, if you think I'm a worthless bum, feel free to email me and tell me to get a job, bozo. Both are excellent options!
Awesome photo.
Just finished watching your story The World Before Your Feet from the comfort of an old day bed next to a fire in my living room in Whangarei, New Zealand. I’ve always wanted to go to NY so to stumble across your story was awesome… I vicariously toured the city through your experience. When I visited your site here I randomly zoomed in on the photo map and clicked on this photo… which just happens to have been taken on the same day I turned 38.
I remember a time in my life when I was free before family and your story reminded me of it. Has made me think about what’s important in life and so I am walking out on my family tomorrow and heading off for my own adventure. OK, so I’m not going to do that but just wanted to say well-done mate. You have done something unusual with your life and that is more than can be said for most. There is a lot to be said for simply being aware of being alive and appreciating the fact that things just exist… and recognising the value of that.
I look forward to exploring your story some more.
