Fermin is living proof of how the Camino provides exactly what you need! Fermin grew up in Spain and became a successful architect.  Hear how what was supposed to be a "short 3-day walk" along the Camino four years ago this week, turned into not only a full-on Camino Pilgrimage but a total life transformation. He set out to get some solitude but the Camino had other ideas for him on the day he became Guest #30 at Casa Susi. Learn how the universe had been prepping Fermin all along to be the perfect co-host supporting Pilgrims along the Way while finding love and a great new life in a small village on the Camino Frances! 

This year has been a tough year for Fermin and Partner Susi, at Casa Susi. With the lockdown, there have been no Pilgrims staying and that has been further compounded by the unexpected need for expensive roof repairs that must be made to save this beautiful donativo. Casa Susi is inspired out of love for the Camino and the Pilgrims that walk it each year.  If you are moved by her story, have stayed there, and/or hope to stay there when the Camino reopens, please donate to the Go Fund Me fundraiser that was started by a friend of Casa Susi. Let's work together to make sure Casa Susi is there for we Pilgrims when the Camino reopens!
