In this first episode of Via de la Plata Eric Vendley shares the deeply personal story behind his decision to leave behind three decades in Germany—selling his business, his home, and a complex life—to walk the 1,000km Via de la Plata Camino in Spain. As he journeys through sunlit landscapes, Eric dives into Stoic philosophy, seeking clarity, simplicity, and a more intentional way of living. Whether you're curious about the Camino, Stoicism, or personal reinvention, this story is your invitation to start walking with purpose.

The Camino Stoic is written and presented by Eric Fendley, produced by Viil Fjøse, with music by Stonecraft. If you find value in this episode, please consider following and sharing the podcast with a fellow traveller.
