Hi Rahul,
My outdoor movements are usually for a purpose. Eating ice cream when I feel like it is as valid a purpose as going to the office. I still have to plan for these movements. One thing about being blind, if you want good outcomes, good planning helps. If nothing else, walkthrough different scenarios in your head. E.G, is that vendor always going to be at the same place? If not, where will you go next? Do you have that location marked on the GPS?

Let me explain. When I say purposive, I mean movement that is aimed at achieving a specific goal, such as buying grocery and the like. BY organic, I mean movement that isn't so constrained, such as randomly going to get ice cream from a new location someday, going to a park to just get some fresh air or going on a solo trip to watch a movie, have a meal or just see the sights. I am asking this because, for many blind people, they have to carefully plan their travels in advance. This includes learning the route, scoping out potential obstacles and accounting for the extra time that it will take you to get somewhere. Given these additional complications, many folks simply choose to go out when necessary and not when they'd like to. has this been true of your experience also? if not, what steps have you taken to move from the purposive to the organic category, in a way that is safe and comfortable for you?
