Camino Conversations: A Journey with The Sober Creative
Sunday, March 1, 2026 • Duration 43:32
Josh calls sobriety “the pilgrimage inside,” and the parallels to the Camino are striking — the brave choice to begin something unknown, the humility to ask for help, the discipline of daily steps, the shedding of what no longer serves you, and the quiet transformation that happens along the way.

Camino Conversations: Rebecca’s First 500 mile Camino across Spain
Wednesday, February 18, 2026 • Duration 01:00:56
I hated gyms.
I had rarely hiked.
I didn’t know how to use hiking poles.
I didn’t own dry-wicking clothes.
Yet something told me a 500-mile walk across Spain was a good idea.
Enjoy Part 1 of my Camino story.

Camino Conversations: Maurice Frank—First Camino at 67 and Hooked by Day 5
Wednesday, September 17, 2025 • Duration 43:08
I was delighted to be joined today by Maurice Frank who walked his first Camino de Santiago at age 67. Inspired years earlier by Paulo Coelho’s The Pilgrimage and drawn to the Camino’s sense of community, Maurice finally set out after the COVID lockdowns. In 2023, he completed the 500-mile Camino Francés from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, an experience so powerful that by day five he already knew he wanted to do another. He describes three kinds of relationships on the Camino—families, friends, and familiar faces—and how each enriched his journey. Even setback became gifts that brought him solitude and new connections
Maurice later walked the Camino Portugués from Porto, including the Spiritual Variant with its historic boat ride and forest path known as the Route of Stone and Water. Afterward, he extended to Finisterre and volunteered at Santiago’s Pilgrim House, helping fellow pilgrims transition after their journeys.
Now preparing to repeat the Francés, Maurice explains that every Camino is different: he wants to revisit places more deeply, approach the trail with greater experience, and embrace how both he and the Camino have changed. His closing advice is simple—if you’re considering it, just go. The Camino offers an irreplaceable experience you won’t regret.
(Note: The book that Maurice mentions that started his interest in the Camino is Paulo Coelho’s The Pilgrimage.)

Camino Conversations: Hana Maris Walked the Camino Primitivo (one of the most challenging routes !) at 65
Friday, September 12, 2025 • Duration 42:48
At age 65, Hana Maris set out alone on the Camino Primitivo,Spain’s most physically demanding Camino route, and discovered far more than a long walk. In this inspiring conversation, she shares how a personal crisis led her to seek a pilgrimage, why she chose the rugged and historic Camino Primitivo over busier routes, and what it was like to navigate steep climbs, scarce services, language barriers, and even a surprise cow encounter. Along the way, she found deep camaraderie with pilgrims from 21 countries, moments of profound spirituality, and the courage to trust herself in unfamiliar places. With humor, honesty, and wisdom, Hana reminds us that it’s never too late to push past fear, embrace adventure, and let the Camino work its magic.

* How can you make sure to see the large incense burner in the Santiago cathedral swing (the Botafumeiro)? (1:06)
* How it all began – from watching The Way to Dad deciding to join me on his first Camino.
* First steps on the Camino Francés – Pamplona to Santo Domingo de la Calzada, walking in summer heat, meeting pilgrims from all over the world, and discovering the magic of Camino friendships.
* The Last 100 km – walking from Sarria to Santiago, sharing in the excitement of entering the city as a pilgrim, attending the pilgrim mass, and experiencing the famous botafumeiro.
* Crossing the Pyrenees at 75 – why Lou felt it was “cheating” not to, what it’s really like to walk from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, and their memorable stay at Borda with its legendary community meal.
* Volunteering at the Pilgrim Office in Saint-Jean – guiding first-time pilgrims, heat wave challenges, language barriers, and the fulfillment of helping others begin their journey.
* Practical advice – training (or not), bag transport services, hiking sticks, safety for solo walkers, and why he recommends everyone experience at least the walk into Santiago.
* The Camino spirit – the community of pilgrims, shared meals, instant friendships, and the inspiration that keeps calling people back.

With warmth and humor, I dive into practical tips while sprinkling in personal stories from my own Camino beginnings.
Don’t stress about all the Camino questions—this conversation is about exploring ideas, sharing tips, and embracing the journey rather than trying to have everything perfectly planned.
