in this episode of Camino Talks, Sean from Follow The Camino is talking with Tom Friesen. Tom is a passionate Camino Walker and the coordinator of the London, Ontario chapter of the Canadian Company of Pilgrims, a non-denominational and volunteer-run association. Tom and many others work together to support Canadians interested in the pilgrimage of Santiago de Compostela.   Due to his work as a Hospitalero, Tom experienced the pure Camino lifestyle, leaving him with a rich treasury of knowledge and stories.
