Hey There! I’m Mikala

I’ve now walked three different Caminos, spending over 800 miles (1,300 km) on the trail!

Unfortunately, I spent much of my first Camino absolutely miserable from blisters. They were hurting my feet so much that I thought I might have to drop out before I even got halfway.

But thankfully, I learned some tricks from fellow pilgrims and have since been able to walk my last two Caminos entirely blister free!
