Hiking is so fun, it is a popular activity with numerous people worldwie.
I like to hike when I get a chance. It is relaxing and good exercise.
Hiking is what it's called in the UK as well, along with rambling, hillwalking and fell walking..
I like the term rambling. It makes it sound like you don't have to be anywhere any time soon, haha.
haha yeah,  it's even call bushwalking in Australia? adopted by the Sydney bush walkers in 1927
Back when humans were foragers I guess it would be called travelling, lol.
In new Zealand a long vigorous called is call tramping, I think that has a different meaning elsewhere
