Finnish for a walk with a purpose.
It comes from my family, and it's the whole idea here: a walk with a destination.
A pin drops on a public spot
A park, a landmark, the pier at sunset. Never a person, never a home address.
You head there, your way
Your own time, your own route. No "come now," no pressure. Just somewhere worth the walk today.
Watch the walk grow
Dots drift in from a dozen directions and a counter climbs. Or it doesn't, and it's just you and a good spot. Either way, you didn't only take a walk. You joined one.
Retki won't nag you to walk. It answers the question you already ask on the way out the door: which way today?
Safe by the way it's shaped.
- Public spots only. Destinations are parks, landmarks, and plazas. Never a person, never a private address.
- Hidden until you're close. Far from the spot, you're not on the map at all. As you get near, your dot appears, blurry at first, and only sharpens to exact in the last stretch by the pin.
- Your route stays yours. Your walk is saved for you to keep and look back on. No one else can see the path you took.
You climb it by walking.
This starts with me dropping the pins. Everyone else climbs the same path.
Wanderer
You walk to the pins, and watch the others arrive.
Explorer
Your first arrival earns you your own spots — a private map, only you can see.
Pathfinder
Earned by walking. Once I approve you, you set the pins others follow.
Guide
The walkers who show the way.
Founder
Where the path starts. For now, that’s me.
No points, no leaderboard. You earn it by walking.
I started Retki because I walk somewhere near home in Maine most days, and the best walks are the ones with a reason to head somewhere. This is my invitation: come find the spot with me.
Come walk with me.
