Welcome to I am the Walker . com, where we stroll from walking blog to walking blog.

I am the Walker . com was thrown together by Babak Fakhamzadeh, after Andrew Stuck, of Rethinking Cities, asked for participants of the Walking Artists Network mailing list to post links to their websites, blogging about their walking practices.

To stay up to date, visit this website, or subscribe to RSS, Twitter or Facebook. Or sign up to get updates by email, the old fashioned way, at the bottom of this page.

If you regularly produce content about walking, whether it’s text, audio or video, give us a shout and we’ll include links to your work, right here.
