Everyone Is Extraordinary

Walking My Way: DAYS 10 & 11: Grañon to Villafranca Montes de Oca to Burgos

What a lovely two days, including some of the mentally toughest walking bits! When you've been at it for 8 hours already and have many kilometres left before you've completed your first marathon... your mind does interesting things.

I also discuss my ineptness with physical touch at the end of the episode, enjoy me squirming for two minutes straight :D

I'm Ruby, I'm 22 and I live in London. I graduated from Cambridge last year and have been working in TV production since. I'm taking time off work to go on the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage across France and Spain (I’m doing the full Camino Frances). I will be walking 800 km as a female solo traveller, completely untrained (in fact with a hip injury). This journey has been a dream of mine since I was 15, when I read The Pilgrimage by Paulo Coelho. I wouldn’t say I’m religious, but I do have some sort of relationship with spirituality, which I am hoping to explore on this trip. Stay tuned for an episode for every day of my journey, which I will be walking for over a month. From the practical, emotional, historical and spiritual, to the deep connections (and blisters) I’m expecting to make, you will hear it all. Buen camino!

Walking My Way: DAY 9: Nájera to Grañon

TW: dying animals, particularly dying cats :(

I'm really seeing lots of life and death on this camino hmm

Enjoy the lovely interview with the donativo hospitalero at the end x

Walking My Way: DAY 8: Logroño to Nájera

Did not discuss the fact that Thomas cooked us an incredible smoked salmon pasta thing which I still dream about...

I do not understand how heavy snorers have the balls to stay in big dorm rooms like I would be so embarrassed ?? Enjoy audio evidence of what we've been put through every night lols... thankfully I'm half deaf and cannot hear a thing with earplugs in...

Walking My Way: ULTRALIGHT 2.2KG What I'm Packing For the Camino Santiago

Hello!

Walking My Way: DAY 5: Puente La Reina to Estella: Camino de Santiago

What a glorious thing when people dare to share their musical gifts with others. What a gift to the world when I decide to follow this by bashing Oasis's Wonderwall on the poor little guitar...

For the sake of my embarrassment and your enjoyment I have left in Wonderwall (Ruby's Version), feel free to leave me a hate comment for good press x

Walking My Way: DAYS 3 & 4: Larrasoaña to Pamplona to Puente La Reina: Camino de Santiago

DAYS 3 & 4 LETSGOOOO

This was a huge unexpected bump along the journey. Long live the TEVAS (pls sponsor me). Pamplona was gorgeous, getting my bum electrocuted whilst everyone else was drinking was not my personal highlight of these two days...

Walking My Way: DAY 2: Roncesvalles to Larrasoaña

Hello everyone!! Day 2 walking plog let’s gooo! Today I interview the wonderful Olivier, who runs the best bar/shop/cafe/music heartbeat in Larrasoaña. I am grateful for how open he was to sharing his personal story of the Camino (tw: addiction, depression, suicide). I found it truly inspiring to hear of the lessons he had learnt. I agree with him, the Camino is as good as the best self help books out there!

Walking My Way: DAY 1: St Jean Pied Du Port to Roncesvalles

Welcome to the second plog! A certain dog steals the show today… again bear with as I figure out how to plog this experience, episodes will only get better as I go along :)
