Veronica Soebarto walked the Camino as an adventure of a lifetime, but soon discovered it was memories and moments from her past that meant the most to her.  A rosary, a long marriage, memories of her late mother. These prayers and realisations of love are miracles we may not have found had we not set out on the ancient and spiritual path of the Camino. Veronica's life has changed forever.

Australian pilgrim Gabby Denvir is about to walk her second Camino, marking ten years since she and her husband walked their first Camino. You'll love how Gabby explains the beauty of the simplicity of the Camino, the small treasures, like a cup and saucer and a cup of tea. I love this episode for its gentle, simple message.  Take the time to treasure the joys of life.

Harvey and Maya Jade Chiang are a father and daughter who walk the Camino creating lifelong memories. It all began when Harvey and his wife Shannon invited Maya to join the on their first Camino to break out of the shackles of Covid.  They keep returning to provide Maya with perspective to help her cope with the pressures teenagers face in modern times. This is a wonderful discussion about the love a family shares and how the Camino provides ways to let our hearts sing.
