PQP20 – Kelli Grace Kurtz

It was clear to me I needed my sabbatical to allow me to pay attention to my own mind, body and spirit. Thus became the theme of my sabbatical and my Camino

PQP18 – Amy Nichols

Listen. Everyone had some big, monumental, life-changing reason for going on the Camino. Not me. I just literally had no place else to be.

PQP15 – Elena Rotilio

I read ‘My Camino,’ written by Sue Kenney and immediately added the Camino to my bucket list. I remember the intense feelings she conveyed in her book.

PQP17 – Eva Nichols

‘Why? Did It Change You?’ Those are probably the most common questions asked of any pilgrim returning from the Camino de Santiago.

In 2012, I innocently rented ‘The Way’, never suspecting it would change the direction of my life and transform my relationship with my only daughter.

PQP-Jan

I decided to hike the Camino after watching the movie ‘The Way.’ One lesson in the movie is that anything can happen to anyone, at any time.

PQP13-Chuck-Elsen-2012s

I had revisited my journals from that 1992 trip and became curious again about the Camino.

PQP12 – John B. Mattingly

I read Shirley MaClaine’s book ‘The Camino’. It hit a chord in me that never seemed to stop. I told many people that one day I would walk the Camino.

PQP11-Greg-Madsen

I was looking for some adventure and some spiritual deepening after having retired, I gave the Camino some thought… Now, I think of the Camino every day.

PQP10 – Jessica Zeroual

I really wanted time to rethink what I wanted out of life – I wanted to leave home for a while and find some clarity. The journey on the Camino could help.

PQP9 – Dorothy Potts

I came to the Camino hoping for a spiritual experience and certainly got what I hoped. I learned interesting things about the world around us.

I wanted space and time to re-evaluate my life and purpose. I wasn’t sure I had done the right things. I quit my job, packed and turned to the Camino.

I’m going to be honest, I first heard of the Camino watching the movie ‘The Way.’ Maybe not the coolest thing to say, but it managed to stay with me.

My reasons for walking the Camino were not profound. I didn’t experience a major life event, and my life at home was tolerable. Yet, I still chose to go.
