Amy brings up the idea of trying something called a “curiosity walk.”
She explains that it involves going for a walk in a part of the neighborhood she doesn’t usually visit, with no set destination. The idea is to walk freely and notice what draws attention along the way, such as a house, a trail, a bird, or a tree, and follow whatever feels interesting. She said the purpose of a curiosity walk is to move through the world without a plan, become more comfortable with that feeling, learn something new about yourself, possibly gain clarity on a problem, and discover something new. The rest of the group reacts skeptically, questioning how it works and pointing out potential issues, including safety and how many rules seem to be involved for something meant to be free-flowing.
Amy says the concept might work better in a big city or a more walkable area with shops or parks. She mentions there are parts of her neighborhood she doesn’t usually walk and considers driving to a nearby park she’s never explored. Others point out that wandering through unfamiliar areas or following distractions could be risky. The show added how similar behavior felt more normal when they were kids but might now look suspicious. Amy clarifies that she hasn’t actually done a curiosity walk and only saw the idea on Instagram, thinking it “could be something.”
