walked around

Meandered through spaces

Walked around is the past tense of walk around, meaning to move on foot without a fixed destination or to explore a place casually: We walked around the old town for hours.

It can also mean to circumvent something: She walked around the puddle.

To walk around an issue is to avoid addressing it directly.
