We hear from candidates that they cover a lot of miles in a day, either because they have to be in various places scattered around the city or because they simply enjoy walking immensely. Today we are talking to Adriaan. On average, he walks 8 to 20 km a day. Adriaan is a kind man who likes to care for others; therefore, he enjoys walking with others.
Sunrise
“Exercise is my relaxation. I prefer to get up before the sun is up so I can go for a walk in the morning. There is nothing better for me than going for a good walk. It's good for old people; you activate your heart and motor skills for the rest of the day.
Centre
I like walking in the city centre, as I have walked in nature many times. People often have a certain association with my appearance. Sometimes I get comments from people and that is also one of the reasons I prefer walking in the morning.
Together
Furthermore, I enjoy when I can take others for a walk or go out with them. I also enjoyed doing that with my parents, pushing them in their wheelchairs in turns. The four-day or a marathon is not for me, as I prefer walking with small groups or alone.’’
