Camino de Santiago

The Camino de Santiago is an incredible once-in-a-lifetime journey that I recommend anyone undertake. I personally have hiked three Caminos solo: the Francés in 2023 and both Portugués routes in 2025. Now I'm here to share everything I know about the Camino to help you as you consider and plan to undertake this incredible pilgrimage.

In this group, you can expect to get more tips and recommendations on the Camino. But more than anything, I want this group to be a place where we can build community together.

I invite you to join the group, start sharing your questions, and connect with other pilgrims. Click here to join.
