    Tell me about your Return Home

    In 1998 I published Pilgrim Stories. On and Off the Road to Santiago (UC Press) based on my doctoral dissertation research in cultural anthropology along the Camino de Santiago which covered a period from 1992-1997. I have remained connected to the Camino continuously since that time and...

    How do Internet Technologies impact the Camino Experience?

    Yes, I am definitely taking this into account. This forum discussion/post is only a part of my research. I understand that what I hear here is limited and skewed by the fact that you are all active members of a virtual pilgrim community and I'm taking that into account. I am very interested in...

    How do Internet Technologies impact the Camino Experience?

    Hello there. Back in the early 1990s I researched the resurgence in popularity of the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage on the ground interviewing hundreds of pilgrims, working as a hospitalera in numerous refuges, maintaining contact with pilgrims once their experiences were over and living in...

    Hello from Nancy Frey/Pilgrim Stories

    Thank you very much, Beebe, for your general comments, reflections on synchronicty and for sharing your beautiful, remarkable story. I strongly believe that the potential power of the Camino pilgrimage does not reside in doing it in a certain way (ie, from x point, for x distance, etc.) and...

    Hello from Nancy Frey/Pilgrim Stories

    Hello from Nancy Frey/Pilgrim Stories

    Thank you very much to all of you who wrote your messages! Yes, synchronicity is a fascinating topic! Meeting my husband on the road was just plain good luck! though I also believe there was an element of synchronicty involved though I didn't realize it at the time. I have been very conscious of...

    Hello from Nancy Frey/Pilgrim Stories

    Hello to all of you new, old, and thinking-about-it pilgrims! I just came across this great site. Back in the early 1990s I researched the rise of the Camino for my PhD dissertation and published my work in the book 'Pilgrim Stories. On and Off the Road to Santiago' (UC Press, 1998). Since that...
