I can't think of a better way to close Season 1 than with Russ Eanes. What an amazing Pilgrim. I enjoyed his Camino memoir, Walk of a Lifetime, so much!  His book really inspired me. In particular, I can't get this quote out of my mind...."Better to die with your memories than your dreams". In this interview, you will hear us chat about the "Camino for life attitude", Camino Magic, The Camino River, A glimpse of Heaven, and packing tips. His book is loaded with tips, inspiration, great quotes and points to ponder and savor,  and educational references from writers that we don't hear about often enough. Russ walked the Frances from St. Jean with 12 principles that I think would help any Pilgrim. His wife, Jane, joined him in Sarria to Santiago. I just loved every minute of this interview.  I am so glad I had the chance to chat with Russ before walking my next pilgrimage. I hope you enjoy our conversation as well. Buen Camino!

SEASON 2 Coming in November 2021 - Stay Tuned!
