The Camino de Santiago — A Reflection 12 Years Later

In 2014, I walked 874 kilometres across northern Spain: the Camino de Santiago Frances, and then the Camino Fisterra all the way to the end of the known world before Columbus changed the map. Less than a year later, I moved to Cambodia with two bags and no plan. I promised myself a reflection when I got home. Life happened. Twelve years passed. This is that reflection — finally. What the Camino did to me, why it took so long to understand, and one question I'll leave with you: what has God been trying to lighten in your life? Along the way: the Pyrenees, Navarre, the meseta, Santo Domingo de Silos, Cruz de Ferro, Santiago de Compostela, Finisterre, and Fatima.
