Putting one foot in front of the other, embarking on a journey, and experiencing the joy of discovery – this is the most natural activity for a person. Our ancestors traveled on foot even over long distances, gaining new experiences and learning from them. But although walking is so universal, each of us experiences it differently. For Norwegian polar explorer and philosopher Erling Kagge, it is a source of questions that fascinate him. For him, walking is inextricably linked to creativity; it is an antidote to the haste that has taken over our lives and forces us to do everything quickly and efficiently. Walking is, in fact, the most radical change we can make in our lives. "When I put on my shoes and let my thoughts flow freely, I realized one thing: putting one foot in front of the other is among the most important activities of a human being."
