Live anywhere long enough and you'll start to think you've been down most streets.
However, few people can claim to be 'every-single-streeters' - those who have visited an entire urban landscape on foot.
The pandemic has opened people's eyes to different, less visited, parts of their hood, with committed urban explorers using their extra time they've had on their hands to walk or run the thousands of streets that make up their cities. There's even a website for tracking these epic adventures called CityStrides, which is used by more than 45,000 people from 90 countries around the world.
No one has completed all 39,137 streets of Greater London, but in 2014, before CityStrides came into existence, Utah's Noelle Poulson walked every street within London's congestion zone - roughly 643 kilometres. (The distance from Auckland to Wellington.)
Poulson, who now lives in Timor Leste, joins the show to discuss why she did it and what she learned along the way.
