My next guest is Adam from England. I actually met Adam shortly after leaving Burgos in 2017. While I had two weeks that year, he continued on to Santiago de Compostela. I was one of many other pilgrims he met along the way but we still keep in touch. We talk about his memories of his Camino and what tips he would give to someone researching. I hope you enjoy it!
Adam has his own podcast called Bread and Rosaries.
Hosted by David Smith, the Clearskies Camino podcast explores pilgrims' different reasons for undertaking their Camino, what equipment they carried, and what preparation they carried out. We also focus on any tips and tricks for new pilgrims.
Lisa Morales is from Boston and since first walking to Santiago in 2014, the Camino has become more and more a part of her life. Lisa now volunteers with American Pilgrims on the Camino and has hosted in a number of albergues on the Camino Francés and Camino Portugués.

In the spring of 2017, I discovered Ben Lah's Instagram account (@ben_camino) as he was walking the Camino Francés. His photos showed off the best sights as well as captured some of his best moments with his Camino family. Two years later, he was called to walk again - this time from Irun.
Ben is from San Diego and the Camino has a special place in his heart. Once you listen, I'm sure you will agree.
I'm sure I will be talking with Ben again when he returns from Spain again.

I'm delighted to be joined this week by Canadian pilgrim Samantha Plavins. In May and June of 2019, Samantha walked the Camino Francés with a question: “Who am I really?” and returned a changed person. We talk about her experience on the Camino Francés, preparation for her Camino, and her new adventure as a guide for pilgrimages/retreats.
