Kelli, USA
“I came and did what I was supposed to do: recalibrated mind, body and spirit. I am a stronger, more centered me for having hiked the Camino.”
Amy “BrassKnichols,” USA
“Listen. Everyone had some big, monumental, life-changing reason for going on the Camino. I met people who wanted to figure out their life, get over some traumatic past event, or maybe grow as a person. Not me. I just literally had no place else to be.”
Eva, USA
“We are all on the Camino together, we all have the same goal, but we have different ways of getting there.”
Jan, USA
“I was blessed that each day allowed me to expand spiritually – even in the airports before I began the walk! At other times, I was blessed that while walking alone, I could feel I was walking with God. I am longing to go back.”
Grace, USA
“…now I’m a fanatic about walking 12,000 steps per day (per my FitBit), I only buy Rioja Reserve red wine, and I love to wear the clothes I wore on the Camino because they bring back such happy memories.”
John, USA
“You find your true self when you peel back the onion of routine and normalcy. The Camino gave me that chance.”
“Blissfully Ignorant” Chuck, USA (2012)
“I’ve been asked if my pilgrimage was a transforming experience. I’m not sure that I can answer that in fewer than 36,836 words.”
Greg, USA
“Months after I left Spain, I think about the Camino almost every day and it is calling me back.”
Dorothy / “Little Chicago,” USA
“They called me ‘Little Chicago’ (that’s where I’m from), and decided to ‘take me under their wing.’”
Doug & Amy, USA
“We wanted to jump in the ocean at ‘earth’s end’ to seek the power of the setting sun.”
Phil & Cathy, USA
“The beauty of the Camino is the ‘sameness in the uniqueness’ of each day … There is a great leveling among pilgrims.”
Tylerann, USA
“When we finally bought plane tickets in February 2014, that’s when we knew the Camino was really going to happen.”
Greg, USA
“I wanted to prove to myself that I could reach Santiago, even if I had to crawl there!”
David, USA (2014)
“Every day was fundamentally the same, but also truly unique. That is what I loved the most.”
Nilanj / “Señor Vino,” USA (2014)
“These things, these daily adventures, these constant little joys, helped me realize again that ‘life’ is much more than our work lives.”
