A few weeks ago I had an vague idea of a project but now I'm in isolation at home in France I thought it would be a great time to start it.
I’d love to compile a book of stories from pilgrims who have walked to Santiago; I’m going to call it Chapter and Verse.
There are a few events that I can clearly recall from many of my caminos and often these events aren’t necessarily anything amazing. The night we shared our favourite funniest youtube vidoes with other pilgrims in the albuergue and we laughed until salty tears ran down our faces. Or the very quick stop at the worst bar ever on any camino and the plague of flying ants we met when we left. Or the beautiful mass that brought tears to my eyes and evoked memories of days gone by. Or my Camino Buddy hiding behind bins as she waited for stampeding cows… learning about Thin Spaces, meeting people with life altering stories or just standing in the mountains and seeing nature at it’s very best and realising how beautiful our world is… I could go on but you get the idea. Every pilgrim will have a story.
I am asking pilgrims to share those stories and anecdotes with me. It can be anything, something spiritual, something funny, or bizarre, or peaceful, or a camino angel, or the opposite, a night of snoring or illness or cold or a storm, a great meal, a coincidence… anything… we all have standout stories and moments that we can recall.
I plan to compile stories in location order along the towns and villages of any of the caminos. As you read you'll move closer to Santiago.
This is the most important part :
ALL PROFITS FROM OUR BOOK OF STORIES WILL GO PEACEABLE PROJECTS; A CHARITY THAT SUPPORTS THE PEOPLE WHO SUPPORT PILGRIMS
I would love to hear from you. I simply need :
I created a little free website which you can share with other pilgrims... and I want to stress... this is not for me or for profit... it's just a way of helping and being part of a camino community when I cant walk.
Write your story here or if you prefer send me a private message

I would love to hear from you. I simply need :
- your first name
- the camino you walked
- the location (roughly) where your story happened
- and of course your story
I created a little free website which you can share with other pilgrims... and I want to stress... this is not for me or for profit... it's just a way of helping and being part of a camino community when I cant walk.
