  • What the Heck is Flaneuring? A Calgarian's Case for Getting Lost

    What the Heck is Flaneuring? A Calgarian's Case for Getting Lost
    Aug 4 2026

    For over 40 years I've been wandering this city with no destination in mind, just my iPhone and a curious eye, stopping for things most people walk straight past. I call it flaneuring.

    In this first episode, I sat down with David De Silva to talk about what "flaneuring" actually means, and why I think most Calgarians (and most people for that matter) don't really know the city they live in.

    We get into how I see this Calgary, some of the things that have shaped it over the years, and a few discoveries along the way that even longtime Calgarians might not know about.

    If any of this gets you curious about your own neighbourhood, that's exactly the point. I write about Calgary and my travels every week at everydaytourist.ca

    Come read along, and next time you're out, look up, look down, look left and right. You might be surprised what's been there the whole time.
