Have you heard of the Camino de Santiago? This centuries-old pilgrimage across Spain draws thousands of travelers each year, each with their own reasons for taking on the journey. The most well-known route, the Camino Francés, stretches more than 500 miles and offers not only a physical challenge but also moments of reflection, connection, and discovery.

In this episode, I sit down with Erik Hulslander to hear about his unforgettable experience walking the Camino. You may remember Erik from a previous episode—he's a marathon runner, avid traveler, and master storyteller who explores the world one step at a time. His Camino journey is filled with insights, adventure, and the kind of details that make you feel as if you're walking right alongside him.

Whether or not you ever plan to take on the Camino yourself, Erik's stories will draw you in and captivate you like a beautifully told novel.

Episode Highlights:

  • The surprising reason Erik set out to walk across Spain
  • How training as a marathon runner both helped—and didn't—on the Camino
  • The unforgettable ancient city that captured his imagination forever
  • Valuable insider tips for your Camino journey
