What makes a 'true' pilgrim

lillypond

Member
My initial intention was to walk the Camino.
In 2 sleeps I fly out of Australia to walk/bus the journey.
An offer from my journalist sister fell in my lap so I am now walking/touring with her. We will shortly be joining a Canadian based tour and my sister will be writing articles for various publications. People ask me if I will be keeping a diary -I tell them I am taking my own personal scribe :)

I will be a 'true' pilgrim at heart and what is daily life but a pilgrimage from birth to death !!!
I am sure lessons and memories of my journey will linger long after my Spanish journey is done.

Buen Camino to me

The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
A pilgrim is a person who travels far from her homeland.
Have a wonderful pilgrimage!
