City Girls Who Walk

“City Girls Who Walk” is a group of women in New York who meet to go walking

together. It started because a young woman named Brianna felt lonely and wanted to

meet new people. She created the group in 2022 to help women in the city feel ‘con-

nected’. Brianna simply posted a video on social media asking if anyone would like to

join her on a walk in Central Park.

At first, only a few women showed up but over time the group has grown a lot. Nowa-

days, hundreds of participants join the walk. They are of different ages, nationalities

and cultures.

The “City Girls Who Walk” meet for different reasons: they want to make friends,

stay active, reduce stress and feel less alone in a big city. Some women have even used

the group as a way to find business contacts. During the walks, they discuss work pro-

jects, career advice, and sometimes even job opportunities.

Before the walk the women meet at a chosen place such as a park entrance. They walk

together through the streets or parks at a comfortable pace so they can talk and get to

know each other. It’s a friendly and easy way to socialize, have fun, and get some fresh

air. The walk usually lasts about an hour, and sometimes they go for a coffee or tea

afterwards.

Brianna, the woman behind “City Girls Who Walk” has now expanded the walking-

club idea to include game nights. And just maybe, the city girls who started walking

together will also travel together and establish friendships that last for years. Sharing

these experiences helps them to feel part of a community, which is good for their men-

tal health.

In the future, Brianna would like to start cooperations with fitness clubs and is eager

to establish a ‘travel buddies’ system.

Loneliness is not just a problem in New York. Women in many cities around the world

have started their own “City Girls Who Walk” groups. There are now about 200 cities

with such groups, including Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Chicago, Dubai, Lisbon, Stock-

holm, Munich and many more.
