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
