I've never walked outside to anything but the sounds of nature. I prefer silence in general, but outside I'd be more wary that someone or something would come up behind me that I didn't hear because I was listening to music. Also, I long ago learned the power of quiet walks to clear my mind and even to talk to myself when needed and away from prying ears -- it's a great way to vent when venting is needed. And I don't mind looking like a crazy person if anyone happens upon me talking out loud to myself -- ha ha.

Lovely post. I walk at least an hour a day and have for years. The motion lulls the executive function (left brain) allowing creativity more agency.
