Walking the Camino de Santiago Changed My Life
Catherine shares her experience of walking the Camino de Santiago.
I first learned of the Camino de Santiago during my art history studies at university, and it stuck with me for years, even though the thought of walking so far terrified me.
The Camino de Santiago is a network of ancient walking routes through Europe, culminating at the Cathedral in Santiago de Compostela in Galicia, Spain, where the remains of St. James are said to be buried.
The Camino de Santiago is a pilgrimage, and pilgrims have been walking these routes since the 9th Century.
In 2017, I found myself tired of going through the motions in my life. My job was no longer fulfilling, and I needed a change of scenery. I decided it was time to stop thinking about the Camino and just go.
- I was looking for a break from my day-to-day life
- I wanted an incredible travel adventure
- I wanted to connect with different people
- I hadn’t yet been to Spain
Author's note: Life-changing journey on the Camino.
