To walk the Camino de Santiago, an 800-kilometer (500 miles) trek over the Pyrenees and across northern Spain, has been on my bucket list for some time. In this episode, I discuss the challenges those who walk the Camino encounter, and the lessons and growth that comes from the journey.
These challenges are all too familiar amid this pandemic, this current world crisis. Of course, no one planned or prepared for this. We didn't carve out eight weeks in our calendars, set up our work, finances, education, and food supply in advanced to be quarantined in our homes for so long. However, the discomforts and fluctuations of feelings, emotions, and circumstances can be compared to those experienced on the journey of the Camino de Santiago. Perhaps, the lessons and growth that we will gain during this time will also be similar.
