>>2745727Yeah, nightwalking is my shit. Its just a fun hobby. The best nightwalking is in suburb and semi-rural areas where theres still human infrastructure but very few to no other people around at night. The feeling of being completely and utterly alone wandering freely at night is both cathartic and relaxing. Its an exercise in being comfortable with yourself and being comfortable in your environment.
It can be potentially dangerous to be out walking around alone like that. If you're male and wear a hoodie with a beanie and just generally have a grim and serious demenor about yourself, Most anyone else out at night will let you be.
My nightwalking kit is usually: wallet, keys, knife, and a tin of snus and/or a shooter of liquor. I sometimes bring my Ipod for music, but only when nightwalking in safe areas like middle class suburbia. Generally walking around at night with earbuds in isn't a smart idea, as tempting as it may be.
Nightwalking often gets depicted as something for depressed people but in my experiences its really had the opposite effect on me. It makes me feel empowered. The freedom of feeling like the night is mine and the ability to walk where ever I damn well please and so on.
All in all its pretty chill and I would recommend other outists to give it a try. Its literally free. Just be safe and always be aware of your surroundings.
