“Highly recommend this journal to anyone looking to track their Camino journey.”

“The Unanchored Passenger’s Camino de Santiago Hiking Journal is such a fabulous tool for keeping track of your days, while also helping you to remember the beautiful experiences of the Camino. Mikala created a thoughtful journal that allows you to reflect on what you’re grateful for, what surprises you encountered, and how you felt each day. I love the easy layout and user-friendly format. Her pre-Camino questions and packing list were also wonderful. 🩵”

The Author Behind the Journal

Hey there! My name’s Mikala Whitaker, and I started The Unanchored Passenger to help travelers like you feel empowered to travel solo and get out there in the world.

It was always a dream of mine to hike the Camino, and I knew I had to finally make it happen to help heal after a devastating end to my engagement. I hiked my first Camino in 2023, starting in Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port. In 2025 I returned to hike the two main Portuguese routes.

While hiking my Caminos, I found myself struggling to really record the amazing experience I was having and figure out how to hike with intention.

That’s why I decided to create this journal. If you’re like me and need a little more structure but also want something that’s quick and easy, then this journal is for you!

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some answers to frequently asked questions when it comes to the Capture Your Camino journal.

For before the Camino, you’ll find prompts to help you determine your goals and intentions for the hike, consider potential challenges and how to push through them, and map out how you want to approach your Camino in a way that helps you focus on your goals.

The prompts for each day on the trail focus on recording where you walked that day, any special moments from the day, and how your body is feeling.

Following the Camino, prompts will help you reflect on the journey, understanding how you’ve potentially changed and what lessons you learned on the Camino that you’d like to carry forward in your regular life.

In addition, the journal includes spaces to record a packing list, connections you’ve made along the way (like a school yearbook!), and any motivational mantras for yourself when you face challenges on the route.

Absolutely! The journal’s prompts are designed to be simple and approachable—no writing skills required, just your honest thoughts.

The journal includes space for up to 45 days on the Camino. For the digital/print at home version, there are instructions for how to add more days or remove days so this can fit your hike exactly.

You can make the journal available for offline use so that you can use it without wifi. Instructions are included with the journal to help you do that.

When you purchase the journal, you will receive instructions on how to print it at home. It’s a little complicated to print out, but most printers will have printing options that help.

Note that printing at home won’t result in a super high-quality journal, and it will be harder for you to bind if you have a large amount of days included in your Camino trek. However, if you want something more affordable and light for your pack, it’s a good option.

If you want a higher quality printed version without the hassle of assembly, I suggest purchasing the professionally printed version instead.

The professionally printed journal weighs approximately 0.55 pounds (0.25 kg).

I cannot accept returns for either version of this product, given the digital nature of the digital/print at home version and given that the professionally printed version is printed on demand. However, if you run into any technical or quality control issues, please reach out at mikala [at] unanchoredpassenger.com.
