We've walked a lot of trails. But nothing prepared us for walking 500 miles across Spain on the Camino de Santiago. In this video, we're sharing our honest story — the physical challenge, the unexpected emotional weight, the moments of doubt, and the profound quiet joy of arriving in Santiago de Compostela. If you've ever wondered what it really feels like to walk the Camino, this is it. What we cover in this video: Why we decided to walk the Camino at this stage of our lives What our bodies went through across 500 miles The moment everything shifted — and what the Camino revealed about us What we unbecoming along the way (more on that in the video) What we'd tell anyone thinking about walking it As Paulo Coelho wrote: "Maybe the journey isn't so much about becoming anything. Maybe it's about unbecoming everything that isn't you so that you can become who you were meant to be in the first place." That quote lived in our packs for 500 miles. By the end, we understood it. ────────────────── 📌 Subscribe for weekly Camino stories, walking + longevity science, and practical pilgrim guides. 📬 Questions?
