Hola Amigos!
AND just like that Camino 2.0 has crept up.
AND I cannot wait. Ok I can because I’m in post holiday nesting mode … but it’s happening regardless so best I get my shell out, pack the day pack and find my flow.
Tomorrow I will fly into Santiago de Compostela to hike a round trip of 240kms with a friend from camino 1.0 – Frank the tank.
Santiago – Finisterre – Muxia – Santiago.
I’ve booked my first night at an old seminary in Santiago. I’m super excited about travelling to the end of the world by foot while raising awareness for One Girl Australia and challenging myself to grow into some of the scary things that make me nervous.
Ahhh the bliss of long days on the trail … the endless horizons, fellow hiker stories, smiles and laughter, the kindness, the purpose, the joy of simply walking – freedom.
If you want to help spread the word about One Girl please feel free by sharing this story with friends and posting it on your socials! It worked a treat last time. Heck, maybe even approach the big boss at work if you think they are looking to #giveashit in the world and support an AWESOME cause.
Or here’s an idea … sign yourself up to #doitinadress. You’ll tick off a challenge as well as changing one girl’s world. Life changing stuff all round right there.
Standing for girl’s education. YEAH. Let’s DO this! My mum just took the hem up on my school dress and Zoë just hand wrote the details on the One Girl cards I’ll be carrying. My girls … where would I be without them.
See you all from the WAY. This last chapter to the end of the world Finisterre. Who will we meet this time? What will unfold as we step into this camino story? Where will it take us?
Adventure bound. We.Are.On. Like an up beat song!
Buen Camino friends,

Thanks for my El Camino People Bracelets Jose! I have a few to share on the trail and my kids will be wearing them at school while I’m away.

I am an educator of 42 years’ experience, with two years or so, left to work. Sometime in 2021, I will embark on similar walks, on behalf of whoever among our youth still need raising awareness, by that point in time. I will go back to read your Camino 1.0 and keep up with this present series. Hope Frank the Tank gets to join you.

Oh wow that’s exciting. How wonderful to have these plans to look forward to. I look forward to reading about your walks. It’s a wonderful purpose – to walk for others. The tank didn’t make it this time around but he’s a keen adventurer so am sure we’ll meet on the trail again soon.
