South African Pilgrim Gabrielle Andrew is a trained community facilitator who worked in rural communities of the Southern Cape for most of her adult life.
At the same time she developed a permaculture farm with a straw bale house.
She then trained as a Life Coach and has always been interested in nation building concepts. She has faith we can create much improved lives for ourselves and each other.
Gabrielle has two magnificent children age 30 and 27.
Gabrielle Andrew and Peggy Coetzee-Andrew, are a mother and daughter team and in 2011 they walked the Camino de Santiago together.
Many lessons were learned during their time in Northern Spain and both were deeply inspired by the experience.
When they arrived back in Cape Town it was only a few months until Gabrielle decided to bring the concept to Cape Town.
She has worked on the project for over 4 years, by herself, and then Peggy left her job in Mozambique.
They are both fun-loving, inspired people, who bring energy into a room and see the Cape Camino as a nation building asset, contributing to positive change in South Africa.
Together they launched ‘Cape Camino’ in April 2018. The Cape Camino allows you tp discover the South African pilgrimage route, Cape Camino.
Walk Your Way in the pristine setting of the Cape peninsula, meeting others and creating time and space for a personal journey and a unique adventure.
It is a retreat. A time away from your normal routine. To use how you like: asking and answering life’s questions; healing hardships and heartaches; challenging your physical ability; a space to be quiet and alone or just an adventure – open to whatever it brings you.
It is a modern day pilgrimage route that offers relief for the soul, while challenging your strength.
Gabrielle shares her passion for the Camino in this latest interview.

3 years ago Australian Pilgrim Joel Beharrie was in the USA on a holiday and he matched with Zen Nyugen via a dating app.
They never did get to meet face to face and so they chatted online as pen pals... for 2 years.
It wasn’t until they decided to go on an adventure together to Europe and embark on a life changing journey on the Camino de Santiago did their relationship evolve into something else.
This journey would see them walk the Camino Frances together, fall in love and then move back home to their separate hemispheres.
They bit the bullet and continued to ‘walk the walk’ and see where they would end up.
This eventually led to Zen moving to Adelaide to be followed by Camino Baby Jackson, who appeared to make this twosome a threesome.
Thanks to Joel & Zen for sharing their very unique (and modern-high tech) romance which is becoming more common in this digital age of cyber connection.
Things were different back in my day…. :)

Pilgrim Trevor Cowan Clark stood at St Jean Pied De Port and thought ‘What have I got myself into?’
That was the beginning of a love affair with the Camino that has resulted in him walking it on four separate occasions….
Even after he was informed he would have only lasted another 24 hours alive if he hadn't found a Doctor on his first time on the Camino Frances.
Trevor first walked in 2013, 2014, 2016 and again in 2018. After years of clinical depression he saw the movie ‘The Way’ one night and remembered the nuns talking about it in primary school.
A week later he heard about it on the radio and then saw a book in a secondhand shop about the Camino.
He thought someone was telling him something and 4 months later found himself in France and so it began….
Trevor worked in IT for 40 years along with the surf industry back in the 60’s. He is 69 years young and growing younger each year.

Pilgrim Ryck Thompson is a retired U.S. Navy Submariner Senior Chief, serving 21 years onboard three different Submarines.
He decided that when he retired from the military he needed to walk the Camino, solo to clear my mind and transition into civilian life.
He walked the Camino Frances in 2017 as Ryck needed to know that people were generally good and they are.
Ryck currently live with his wife Frances and three children in Poulsbo, Washington State, USA.
He believes that the Camino is the gift that keeps giving. Even when it is over and you are back home, mentally it never ends.
Ryck currently works for the US Government on various projects. He spends his time off work with friends and family onboard his boat in the local marina and in and around the Puget Sound waters and Olympic mountain ranges.

Many people who walk The Way do so to deal with an external life event and David Hardy was no exception.
David walked the Camino Frances in 2017 after events in Australia changed his life forever.
In 2014 David’s son Joshua was murdered in an act of social violence and since then David has advocated tirelessly for positive change.
After the final court case was finished, David sat on a plane to head back to Darwin in Northern Australia.
On that flight he watched ‘The Way’ and when he reached his house he booked his flight to Europe.
David believes in the power of education to drive cultural change and shares his story with schools, sporting clubs and community groups to raise the profile of the issue of social violence.
David hopes to encourage young men to step back and think before they react and make a split second decision that they will regret forever.
It was an absolute privilege to meet David in Santiago and to share his story with you all.
