I love goin g on long hikes, do you enjoy outdoor activities too?
I do enjoy hiking officially in the US and Canada hiking is defined as vigorous walks usually on trails
I've heard in New Zealand they call hiking something else, are you aware of such a distinction?
in the UK and Irelans hiking is usually just called walking, and describes all forms  weather it be a walk in the park or backpacking in the Alps
Oh I must be confused then. I like how relaxing it is to go on a long hike, makes me feel connected to nature.
In the UK they also use the term Hillwalking, but the term is considered old fashioned
It does sound very old fashioned and strange. Do you ever fish or do other outdoor activities?
Usually not we enjoy day hikes, it allows us to start and finish in just 1 day
That's true, hiking can take up a lot of time, I think it's worth it though.
It is a popular activity that has many health benefits
