In Syria, we used to say "Gezdara" (n.) or "–gezdir" (v.) when we talk about going for a trip, particularly leisure trips, and it has no presence in other cultures outside Syria – I believe –... So it must have come from Turkish (gez)!
I think "strolling" or "walking" would be better than "wandering." "Wandering" implies that you're lost.

I do not agree with you there :) Regardless, both of those are accepted.
Nice LOTR reference. :) I still think "Not all those who wander are lost" implies that most who wander are, but no matter. I noticed in Germany that Germans sometimes use "wander" in English in preference to "hike" or "ramble," probably because it sounds like "wandern." I'm finding that I have a preference for Turkish words that sound at least a little familiar. BTW, Duolingo is a wonderful! Thank you all so much!

"I am walking around the park" should have be accepted, unless I am missing something.
"Parkta" specifically means "in the park." Depending on context, that could be understood in your sentence, but yours could also mean walking around the periphery of the park, not in it.
In the translation of the word (geziyorum) it's written (I'm traveling & I'm wandering) I wrote (I am traveling to the park) It said it's wrong It says the right translation is (I'm strolling in the park) So I'm wandering!
I put "I am wandering to the park." and it was wrong because it said IN not TO.
Walking means yürüyorum but gaziyorum means what I am so confused with this sentence
As in other languages, there is more than one way to say this. "Geziyorum" is more for walking about or wandering about as in a park.
