Walking 90km to work changed my life

I first walked to work in the early summer of 2014. Door to door, my university job was 93 kilometres away, or 90 when I took missguided shortcuts. After a few years of talking about doing more adventuring in closer to home places, often called mundane, places that would never have a postcard printed in their honour, I decided to walk from my porch to my desk. A trip that takes 75 minutes in the old ute would take me at least 30 hours, and would either make my theory on backyard adventuring come to life, or kill it in its tracks. To help make things interesting I left with nothing but the clothes on my back (and hat), and would make shelter, find food, collect water, and do whatever it took to get to work as late as possible. This was my first backyard adventure and it worked.

Many great thoughts and ideas are developed by the rhythmic repartition of foot to ground. Oddly more the pain greater the gain , you appear to hold a similar philosophy.. This post displays how far you have come, back then a walk , now a walks with incredible purpose. Such as your last high Plains trek .. Keep walking, looking n thinking, it always leads you home to your treasures.. Cheers mate , thanks for allowing us to think too..

Possibly the most fascinating part of this adventure is the fact that what is now a high-speed motorway, was once largely an unsealed highway, before which was a dirt track, something that was once pioneered by a man, on his two feet, with likely little more than the olden equivalent of discarded scraps on the roadside to satiate them.

I remember the first time I walked to work. I didn't have any other choice. I had to make it there. It was only 5 miles. But I ended up having to do it again, and again. 6 days a week for over a year. That was the first time, and I was 16 years old. As a bonified adult, I've had to walk much more than that on occasions to get to work or another place or importance. Transportation is a luxury people take for granted. I stopped hitching because of repetitive assaults. It's a damn humbling thing, having a drivers license, perfect driving record, and full coverage insurance, but not be able to drive yourself somewhere. Do this more than once, or twice or 187 times, I promise, your view will change even more.

Ain’t that the truth. Modern society is drowning in ‘comfort’. Never hurts to suffer or go back to basics to appreciate what we have.

Original video motivated me to walk to work (21km) which I’ve now done several times over the years including a full week of walking to work each day. Fortunately 20-22km is far more civilised than Beau’s adventure but agree 100% with all beau’s musings

I can’t believe this was shot in 2014. I recall watching it during Covid and it made me have a weird nostalgia for Australia (I’m American), but now maybe, it was nostalgia for 2014 unknowingly as I assumed it was shot within a year or two of viewing! Impressed that Beau had such quality film even back then before the real golden age of KZbin.
