On the Camino, discomfort is inevitable—blisters, bad weather, no beds, and yes… snoring. In this episode, Eric explores Amor Fati, the Stoic principle of loving one’s fate. Not just tolerating the unpredictable, but embracing it fully. Through the shared realities of albergue life and the daily surprises of pilgrimage, Eric reflects on how the Camino becomes a living classroom for this powerful idea. When we stop fighting what we can’t control, we begin to see each obstacle not as a setback, but as part of the path.

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.
