In this episode, we dive into the sacred act of pilgrimage and what it means to live as a pilgrim. We explore everything from intentional journeys to divine encounters and the beauty of embodying pilgrimage in your daily life. We each share our personal pilgrimage stories, highlight the various types of pilgrimages, and discuss our different approaches to these journeys. 

Throughout our conversation, we talk about the dynamics of traveling solo versus in a group, and how to take a pilgrimage that genuinely aligns with your needs and desires. We also touch on the balance between documenting these sacred moments for consumption and keeping them private. Plus, we offer our advice on letting go of expectations, embracing pilgrimage as a way of being, and discovering a deeper connection with yourself and the divine.
