Sandy Brown joined us live today from France for a chat about traveling right now, the Via Francigena, his guide books, and his Caminos. During this interview, Sandy provides some valuable advice and insight that can only come from a veteran Pilgrim that's walked 18 Caminos plus several other Pilgrim paths. Hear his tips for self-care and traveling post-pandemic.  Sandy has been such an inspiration to me during the lockdown as he walked and cycled the California Missions Trail. He will soon be publishing the first official guides for this important path in the US.  If you are planning a Pilgrimage soon, be sure to check out Sandy's guides and his website. Thanks, Sandy,  for coming to The Camino Cafe!
