The woods are lovely, dark and deep, but I have promises to keep and miles to go before I sleep. – Robert Frost

The Camino de Santiago, also known as the Way of St. James, is a renowned pilgrimage of medieval origin that sees pilgrims journey to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia in the northwest of Spain.

Legend has it that the remains of the Apostle St. James the Great were buried in the Cathedral and discovered by a shepherd in the 9th century. The city of Santiago is named after St. James: Santiago de Compostela means St. James of the Field of Stars.

This has been on my bucket list. Those who know me know I travel occasional 😊

Why am I doing it? I walk to dream, I walk to hope, I walk to love, I walk to live, I walk to be.

While this pilgrimage started as a spiritual journey, for me it is also spiritual as I seek the spirit that lives within me.

I want to share my experiences with others for you all to know that Life is Beautiful and you don’t have to walk 900 km, you can walk in you mind and find beauty there.

I will be making posts along the why when I can so that you know where am and how I am doing.

Today is the 80 day countdown until I leave. I will continue to post as I prepare for this adventure
