The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:
Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.
Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.
Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.
Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).
Jump in the discussion.

Notes -
Where is the cheapest place to travel where you can do a lot of walking, and be relatively safe?
What are you trying to be safe from? Who are you?
I'm the kind of person where I've worn a thrift store tux walking drunk 80 blocks through the Bronx and it was fine, so it's tough for me to even figure out what safety means in the eastern USA, walking anywhere should be safe.
That said, my pick would be this time of year an off-season beach town. Cheap, relatively pleasant, not a lot of people, and you can be fairly certain there's no criminals lurking.
I was thinking about traveling to inexpensive foreign countries. Maybe there’s an inexpensive South American country that is safe for walking miles a day. Beach towns are easy and accessible, not a bad idea.
Gotcha, cheap foreign country to hang out in. I'd go Greece! The food is fantastic and easy to find, monasteries make good hikes, and with the Euro/$ price your money goes further. The Lepanto area is amazing! Also, once again, off-season is cheaper and emptier.
