”…I would walk 500 miles and I would walk 500 more…” okay not really. More like 370ish miles. We are heading to Spain today so for the next 29 days after we will be walking the Camino de Santiago. The Camino is a network of passages across Spain that come together to end at the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. It is a very popular pilgrimage that thousands of people walk every year! The majority of traveling pilgrims are searching for quiet, purpose, answers or spiritual growth.
Originally our route ended in Albania but the Camino opportunity was presented to us back in month 5/Argentina. We worshiped, took time to pray and then voted writing yes or no on a slip of paper. From there it was decided to switch from Albania to Spain:
Fast forwarding to Romania we were told the details. How many days, that half of us would do the north route while the other half did the french way, and that we would be choosing teams of 3-5 women to walk with. (The guys would be together)
Let me first say that it would be an absolute honor to walk with any of the 20 remarkable women on our squad. That being said I am stoked to be with KATIE & JADA! These gals are the bees knees and I love them so much. I’ve felt connected to Katie since the beginning on our very first team More Amor together. She is hilarious, caring and genuine. The way I’ve seen her selflessly serve on the race is powered by her love for developing deep meaningful relationships with people. Jada and I have been together the last 6 months and we’ve shared a lot of great memories. My favorite though was trekking in the Himalayans together. It was rainy, steep, leeches were everywhere, our muscles were fatigued and I seriously hurt my knee at one point. But what I will always remember is laughing the entire time, singing Mulan and taking in the views. This girl carries wisdom and brings fun wherever she goes. I’m excited to be walking with these two along the northern route from Bilboa to Santiago de Compostela. *music note emoji* Lets get down to business *disney emoji*
