Utilizing diaries and literary texts from the mid- to late-twentieth century, it highlights the significance of various forms of transport, including walking, in fostering enduring bonds. The author engages with philosophical and anthropological perspectives, contributing to discussions in cultural geography, mobilities studies, and critical love studies.
