Cultural Tip
In Spanish‑speaking countries, *a pie* is the standard way to specify ‘by walking’; some Latin‑American speakers may also say *caminando*. The adverb *bastante* conveys a moderate degree, which is useful when you don’t want to sound overly dramatic. Remember that *desde aquí* is the neutral, slightly more formal way to say ‘from here’; *desde acá* is acceptable in casual conversation, especially in parts of Mexico and Central America.
