THE WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, WHY, AND HOW OF IT Diana will be walking the Camino Portuguese with her daughter, and in this episode she reminds us that it is as important to plan the journey home from the Camino as it is to think about and plan the actual walking part. I won't spoil the surprise; instead, I will invite you to open your mind and heart to new ways of doing things. In all, this is a story of getting the most out of the pilgrimage experience, and noticing before you go that reaching Santiago de Compostela isn't the end of the journey. This is a story of love and the relationship between a mother and daughter, who are each finding their own reasons for making this pilgrimage, and for making it together. I also sneak in some thoughts on how to plan your return home from the Camino, in case you would like to make that transition go a little bit more smoothly.

Transcription:intro 00:03Welcome to Changing the Rules, a weekly podcast about people who are living their best lives and advice on how you can achieve that too. Join us with your lively host, Ray Lowe, better known as the luckiest guy in the world.Ray Loewe00:19Hello, everybody, and welcome to Changing the Rules. We're sitting here in our nice, new podcast studio in Willow Street, Pennsylvania. And we have our engineer Luke Cagno over here, who's going to make sure that the sound quality comes out. And I'll give you his number later, if you're not happy with that. And we have a guest today and this guest is going to be a little different. He certainly is one of the luckiest people in the world. And let me remind everybody that the luckiest people in the world are those people who design their own lives and live them under their own terms. But we also call this program Changing the Rules. And one of the things we found is that the luckiest people in the world handle rules well. You know, we have all of these rules that we've been given, they start out when we're born, parents give us rules, then the church gives us rules and the schools give us rules and our jobs give us rules. Before we know it, we have all these rules and rules, do two things. Don't do this, or you better do this or else, right? And I think it was Steve Jobs, the president of Apple who came in and said, you know, if you're living your life under somebody else's rules, you're not living your life. And we have a guy here who I think most of us would say, changed the rules. So, George Mowrer, George is a certified retirement Coach, did I do that right, George? And he's got his own firm, it's based in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and he's been helping people trying to figure out how to run the last third of their lives. You know, basically, life after work is over and how to get the most out of it. And, George, before we get into the actual thing we're going to talk about here, talk about what happens in the last third of your life, how many days do you get to do whatever it is you want?George Mowrer02:17I mean, it depends on how your health is or whatever. But I love to look at it, maybe in terms of weeks, but if you have 30 years, that's 1500 weeks of your life to do what you know, whatever you want to do. So it's a good idea to have a plan for it. Ray Loewe02:34Okay, so you did something that I find absolutely fascinating. It's not necessarily for me, but maybe I'm reconsidering it. You hiked the Camino Santiago. Okay, first of all, what the heck is the Camino Santiago?George Mowrer02:53Yeah, so it's a very quick, 32nd history, James was one of Jesus's apostles, after Jesus died and was resurrected and did all that, James, his mission field was that Spain, that Iberian Peninsula, that's where he went, Spain where Spain and Portugal is today, he did his thing, he made a big difference there. He went back to Jerusalem, where he was killed. And his remains were then, in honor of him, were shipped, literally shipped, to where Santiago is, and they're buried in the crypt of the church in Santiago. And so for 1000s of years, or about 1000 years, people have been doing a pilgrimage in James's honor. Everyone is moving towards Santiago to honor him. And so that's the very quick history.Ray Loewe03:48Okay, so, although it started on a solely religious basis, it's not necessarily totally religious today, although I'm sure some people do look at it as a religious thing. But you went and you joined a group of people, a throng of people. I don't know how you wanted to characterize it. And you hiked this. So first of all, tell us a little bit about where you went and how long was this?George Mowrer04:13Yeah, so I did what's called the Camino Frances, which is the traditional, the most popular of the caminos. There's multiple caminos in Spain, they all end up in Santiago. But I did the one that most people know about and it starts in actually a Saint Jean Pied-de-Port, which is at the very bottom of France, right as the Pyrenees Mountains start and, so it's about 530 miles to Santiago across northern Spain.Ray Loewe04:45And this took you how many days to do? George Mowrer04:48So I did it, I hiked for 38 days. I took four rest days in there in some of the bigger cities, Pamplona, Burgos, Leone and then Santiago some rest days. I actually continued on the hike to what's called Finisterra, which is, in the olden days was known as the end of the world, which is where the ocean is. It's just an additional three days of hiking on the back end of it. You know, what the heck while I'm there?Ray Loewe05:14Okay, so how many miles a day are we talking about? George Mowrer05:17Yeah, so I think on average, I was between 12 and 15 miles a day.Ray Loewe05:22Okay, so you get up in the morning, and what was the typical day? What did you do?George Mowrer05:28Yeah, typical day, probably alarm would go off around 630, I just gotta get up. Simply put my sneakers on, stick my backpack on and start walking. We'd probably go about five kilometers, then stop somewhere in one of the cafes for breakfast. There's the cafe, like, every five to eight kilometers, I'd stopped for breakfast, and then I'd walk another 10 kilometers or so, stop for lunch, maybe have a beer, you know, because you can do that. And the beer and the wine is pretty cheap there. And then maybe another four or five kilometers to where I was arriving, which was usually about two o'clock in the afternoon. I'd find my accommodations for the night, maybe take a shower or maybe a brief nap, I'd walk out to the cafe that was right outside the door and reconnect with other pilgrims that were on their way along the way and hang out there. 6:30, maybe eat dinner, and 9:30 or so go to sleep, and hopefully sleep well and start the whole thing over the next day.Ray Loewe06:29Now when you did this, did you do this on your own? Did you do this with a group? What? George Mowrer06:39Yeah, so I mean, I very purposely wanted to do it by myself. I didn't want anyone to go with me, I wanted to experience the Camino as a solo hiker. Of course, what happens on the Camino, to everybody, is the relationship piece happens. And, you know, so as much as I started by myself, I probably had interactions, significant interactions, with 50 or so people, and of those 50 people, there are about 25 that became pretty close friends that I still connect with. And then of those 25, 10 probably about 10 people that I feel like I've known my whole life, and that I will continue some kind of relationship with moving forward - have and will continue moving forward. It just blew me away the relationship piece.Ray Loewe07:31Now were these people English speaking? What, you know what, what goes on there?George Mowrer07:39Yeah. So, I mean that the language of the Camino with quotes is English. Although the locals, I was very surprised that English is not spoken by many of the people along the way. You know, one would think you're in the hospitality business and the cafes and the hotels and stuff. But that really isn't the case. But along the way, English was, generally, the language spoken. The people I hung out with were from Australia, Ireland, Scotland, England, Germany. The German speak English really, really well so I was greatly rewarded by that. And obviously, people from the US and Canada were there as well.Ray Loewe08:24Okay, so you can do this in a number of ways. But, generally speaking, you had a starting point and a stopping point every day. So you did have a plan to get through there. And you knew about how long you were going to walk and you kind of knew when lunch and dinner was going to be. You just didn't know who you are going to see or meet along the way?George Mowrer08:42Yeah, well, I mean, and there were definitely periods of time where I was hiking with a group of people. And then there were times when like, I'm sort of an ambivert. I'm partly introvert, partly extrovert. I like time with people but I also valued and loved walking by myself a bunch too. So I tried to make sure that that discipline was all the way through my process. Ray Loewe09:08Alright, so how much did you organize this to begin with? Like, did you go with a tour company? Did you show up at a spot and start walking? What do you do?George Mowrer09:18I think for the most part, I read, I had a guidebook that I had read or looked at ahead of time. I follow tons of Facebook groups. I did this May in June of this year, of 2022. And there's a Facebook group of people doing the Camino Frances, May, June 2022, with about 1,000 people that are part of that group. So, lots of insight, lots of things I learned just following that Facebook group. I love the memoirs. I probably read four or five of those that kind of gave me some good ideas of things to do, but I was not part of a tour group. I had my backpack and my sneakers and my walking sticks and just started walking. And I knew that you follow a sign, you follow an arrow the whole way.Ray Loewe10:04Follow the yellow brick road.George Mowrer10:06Yeah, or the yellow arrow or whatever.Ray Loewe10:08Interesting. Now, when you go on this thing, you can go low budget or you can go high budget, can't you? So what's the difference? What happens? What did you do? And then what do other people do?George Mowrer10:23Yeah, I mean, the accommodations can be anywhere from six or eight euros a night, which is kind of a dormitory kind of a setting. There's public ones, there's private ones, where you're going to pay, you know, 12 or 14 Euro per night. I spent a lot of nights in those, but there's pensions, there's guesthouse, there's hotels, you know, all the way up. I think I ended up just from a financial standpoint, I ended up, believe it or not, including food about 83 bucks a day is what I averaged spending over the time. So you can do it for less and obviously, you can do it and spend more. I did not use a tour company but people do do that. I just, you know.Ray Loewe11:13So, if you want to do this and not have the same experience, you can have somebody pick you up at the airport, they book the hotels for you, they tell you where you're going to stay, they tell you what the restaurants are. And they send somebody along in a van and make sure that you don't fall on your face and get hurt, right?George Mowrer11:29You can probably arrange for something like that. Correct.Ray Loewe11:32And that was not you. You did it more on the lower budget kind of a thing, interspersing some luxury along the way?George Mowrer11:41Yeah, I mean, I'm not sure lower budget, I didn't do that. I mean, there are people that spend a whole lot less. I mean, I wanted to make sure I had the full experience of that. I did not have my places arranged ahead of time. I usually, a day or two, looked at okay, I want to go there tomorrow, I want to go there the next day, and then I might make reservations for those. But you know, it also depended on the people around me. You know, we did spend a lot of time together. And so, where are you guys going, you know, that kind of a thing.Ray Loewe12:16Okay, so why did you do this?George Mowrer12:22Well, I'll tell you, I mean, there's a movie called The Way. And of your listeners, Martin Sheen and Emilio Estevez star in the movie. And it is about this journey that I did. And I saw that movie and I'm like, that's it. That's it. I want to do that. And then my church, back in 2017 did a mission trip, where we hiked as a group of about 12 people. We hiked for a week, and then we served in one of these albuquerques, or these dormitory kinds of places. We served for a week and just in that week, I'm like I want to do this. As soon as I can do this, and I can make my budget work, that's when. And literally, this year was the first year that it could happen. And my wife gave me her blessing. And I said goodbye.Ray Loewe13:15Okay, so how do you prepare physically for this, if you want to do this? What do you have to do? Do you need to be in shape?George Mowrer13:23You do. I mean, you're walking each day. What I'll say is I chose to go at this kind of this 12 to 15 mile but for people that might not be as in shape or want to do it, but they don't think they can do that. So okay, so you do five miles a day, six miles a day. It doesn't matter, you know, it's going to take you longer, or you don't go as far but your level of being in shape shouldn't dictate whether you go or not.Ray Loewe13:57Okay, so I'm sure you met some wonderful people and you've got some great stories, so enlighten us a little bit here.George Mowrer14:06Yeah, so a good story. One of the Albuquerque's. One of the things I wanted to do in my own head was, I play guitar, and I thought wouldn't it be cool to be among strangers or whatever and play guitar sometime. And one of the people I was hiking with knew that I played guitar as well. I'm a little bit shy like I don't want to just pull out a guitar and start singing. So there were about eight or ten of us around the table. A couple Germans that spoke English but a lot of French people that did not. And we finished up dinner and one of the people next to me said there's there's a guitar in the other room. I'm gonna go get that guitar and bring it back and we're gonna sing. And I'm like, fine, okay, whatever. So she went and got the guitar, brought it back. I pulled up an app on my phone with lyrics and chords and we started to sing songs that everybody around the table knew. It would be like Cat Stevens Wild World. And we did some Beatles songs and everybody knew the songs. And here we were, we couldn't speak the same language. But yet, we were all singing together. And the coolest part of it was at the end of it, we did about five songs, I'm like, I'm gonna end on a high, I'm not going to keep this thing going all night. Then one of the French guys reaches across as if he wants to guitar and we hand him the guitar, and this guy starts playing now. He wasn't playing a chord, like ripping chords, let's sing songs. He's more of a delicate, and he's playing like Pachelbel Canon and you know, things like that. And we're like, oh my gosh, the language of music, has brought us all together. And that the coolest thing about that is after it was over, one of my German friends came up to me and he said, George, this has been my favorite night on the Camino. And that is what it's all about, where relationships come together like that. Ray Loewe16:13All right, when you walked along here, how many people did you see that were in groups? How many were singles? Who are the kind of people? You know, one of the reasons specifically is were there single women that you met along the way that do this? And was it safe?George Mowrer16:32Well, it was certainly the question of solo hikers. I mean, many start out as solo hikers but very quickly, come together. There's a phrase on the Camino, your Camino family, where people come together and they just form relationships and as a family, or as a group, they spend time together. But at the same time, there's people that want to be by themselves the whole time, male, female, it is a very safe kind of setting or whatever. But I ended up interestingly too, which my wife doesn't love, is I ended up with four other single women that I spent a lot of my time with. And these are four amazing women, I posted some pictures on my Instagram. So, people that were interested, they could follow along and see that. And my wife, I talked to her one day, and she said, so those are your peeps. I said yep, they are, they're pretty amazing, pretty amazing people as well. And I still stay connected with them to this day, which was lovely.Ray Loewe17:34Okay. Any other stories you want to get in before we move on here?George Mowrer17:39Move on, you know, if something comes up, I'll share.Ray Loewe17:41Okay, so again, you did this. I think you told me when we were rehearsing for this a little bit, you did this because you wanted to experience the kind of life that you're telling other people in your coaching job to do. Okay. So would you like to elaborate? George Mowrer18:00Yeah, I mean, I think the most effective thing I can do as a coach is live my life exactly what I'm trying to encourage them to do. I'm recently retired from my 35 years in the insurance business, vocational career. And this is a direction that I'm moving. I'm in about three years into this retirement coaching. And people are watching me. How can I tell people to do stuff that I'm not doing myself? And, you know, the Camino is just one example. They think I'm crazy that I'm doing this. Ray Loewe18:32Yeah, I think you are a little bit too, but it's intriguing. George Mowrer18:34Yeah. I'm breaking the rules, you know, that's what it's about.Ray Loewe18:37So, would your family go along on this excursion? Would you do this again?George Mowrer 18:44Well, I mean, good question. I do plan on doing it. I mentioned earlier there's multiple caminos and from what I understand, on the Camino Portuguese, there's a particularly beautiful part of it that goes from Porto up to Santiago and is supposed to be incredible. And I would love to do that again next year. I'm not sure my wife this is her thing to do. And she's given me her blessing for me to go do it. But I will say that I talked to my son who lives in Berlin, Germany, and if he can make it work with his job and stuff, now it we it may not be next year but there may be a future year that we actually do this together. So I'd love that. But I'd love to do it again by myself. I don't really care.Ray Loewe19:29I'm getting the idea this is not something you would do with a tour group because the tour group is fixed and what you really want to do is you want to explore the new relationships and you want to meet people from other cultures and things like that. Do people just walk this? Do you see bicycles? Anybody riding by horseback?George Mowrer19:52Good question. Bicycles. There are a lot of people that do this on bike, maybe there's a little bit less. They can do it quicker. But yeah, bikes are very popular, a little bit annoying. But there are paths, bike areas around some of the mountains, and things that we go over. I saw a few horses. I actually saw a guy with a donkey. He had walked his donkey to Santiago and he was walking back. And I don't remember where he started, but it wasn't Spain and it wasn't France. He may have started as far back maybe as Italy or somewhere like that to hike in. So, only a little bit of that, almost everybody was walking though.Ray Loewe20:39Okay, so you're gonna meet new people. What about the relationship with the locals though? And stuff like that? Is this something they're for?George Mowrer20:48Yeah, I mean, the locals, not only do they love the pilgrims, which we are called, but it's become a pretty significant part of their economy. I think when I think about Northern Spain, it's wine and farming and then pilgrims. We are in the top three economic drivers for that place. And I think, pre-COVID 2019, I think there are about 350,000 pilgrims that did the Camino in one way or the other that ended up in Santiago.Ray Loewe21:20Okay, so we're near the end of our time. What do you want to tell people to do? You know, obviously, you're going to do this again, you enjoy this, you got a lot out of the experience. Any final remarks you want to make?George Mowrer21:36I mean, for me, it was the most unique thing I ever did in my life. For me, for the first time in my life, literally, I had nothing on my calendar and no responsibility to anybody. So, it gave me a glimpse of what life could be outside of my normal life, and experience something new and amazing. And, you know, obviously I'd say yeah, hike the Camino, you should do the Camino, anyone can do the Camino. Or you know, people in wheelchairs have done portions of the Camino, it is possible to do with, you know, with proper planning. But it is an incredible, unique thing. So I encourage anybody to do it if they're interested in doing it.Ray Loewe22:20I think it's a phenomenal experience. And it's one I never heard of until recently. And now all of a sudden you talk to one person about this and you find there are other people hiding in the woodwork that have done this or are wanting to do this. So you know, thank you so much for sharing your experiences, and let me think about this a little bit and maybe we'll have you back and we'll continue and go into the next Camino and see how that works out. So join us again next week. We're going to be back with our engineer Luke again and Luke why don't you sign us off.Outro 22:58Thank you for listening to Changing the Rules. Join us next week for more conversation, our special guest, and to hear more from the luckiest guy in the world.
Eirené is a NY-based Pilgrim that walked the Camino Portuguese in the Spring of 2022. This conversation goes deep into spirituality and how expressive art may very well help you enhance the processing of your Camino experience. Eirené is no stranger to Pilgrimage as she walked to Jerusalem years prior to her Camino. Eirené's story shows the power of how a Pilgrimage can help us when we feel we are at one of life's crossroads. I loved talking with Eirené as she keeps things real and her creative artistic traits bring her stories to life. Check out her upcoming workshop below! I hope to be there.

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk: true-life, practical, funny, heart-breaking, insightful human experience stories from women who are walking their lives while their lives walk them and the lasting difference these journeys have made. You’ll recognize yourself in stories of adversity, challenge, fear, discovery, adventure, expression, and more. Why? Because, the sorcery of stories is this: they help each of us to be seen and heard, to understand and be understood. I’m your host, Diane Wyzga.Today my guest is Lisa Morales who’s joining us from Back East on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Lisa and I share a deep affection for the Camino de Santiago, all things pilgrim, and showing up, saying “Yes!” to the hand we are dealt. I’ve invited Lisa to walk with us and talk about the Life ups and down that led her to walking the Camino, serving as a hospitalera or hostess in an albergue or hostel, her photography, and what comes next. Welcome to the podcast, Lisa!Minutes: 33:2300 to 2:10 IntroStart From Where You Are2:10 to 9:35 Walking Together 1. If I met up with you on the Camino trail what’s the first thing I’d notice?As a pilgrim you’d wonder about my carrying a gargantuan camera and camera gear with a few clothesAs a hospitelera, you’d be tired and wet and hungry and may not notice her; although being an American woman stands out2. If we had some time to walk along together what might I get to know?Muxilla (backpack) with camera gearNot her first Camino; already walked a number of routesEvery walk always associated with major life-change events on each one: turn 50, get divorced, walking twice with young son, (age 10 and then 12); and once walking the Camino in reverse East to West - shocking and remarkable3. When we parted ways what would I remember about you?Slow walker - intentionally slowPhotographing her surroundingsOur conversation might be about background, education, and homeWalking Camino at her own pace, in her own way and for her own reasonsAdopting Camino family was not her choice to have more time on ownA Camino family: a group you adopt and walk withPrefers no pressure to keep up or be in a certain place at a certain time because that’s distracting for pilgrim experienceWalking ‘estoy solo’ is important aspect to consider your life storyTransition to the Back Story - We All Have One9:35 to 12:00 Smith College and Ada Comstock Scholars Program and EmpowermentBriefly, so we have some context I understand yours, too, is a life in progress. You went to Smith College, the youngest non-traditional scholarship student at the age of 19 under the auspices of the Ada Comstock Scholars Program along with her 2 year old daughter and from a family where no one had gone to college. You went from shy loner to strike organizer. What did it take for you to say “Yes!” for you to push back on the Imposter Syndrome?Credit 100% Smith College women who are smart, strong, independentA woman’s college is an environment where women for womenEmpowerment is the result bringing out what she had in herSit-in against apartheid to get college to divest of holdings was the beginning and 36 years later daughter is following mom’s footsteps12:00 to 13:53 What can you offer to someone who wants to push back, to say "Yes!"Find your tribe: women’s book group, like-minder walkers, whomever and whatever you need to doLisa joined American Pilgrims On Camino (APOC) as her tribe - a place to go where everyone says: You can be a pilgrim! Yes! You can do this!Pilgrims are either walked versus not-yet-walked; Lisa works with the “not yet walked”APOC Camino gets Americans off the couch and out the door if you have the will13:53 to 16:05 Something or someone comes along to invite youOpportunities come along to invite youMaybe you hear it on a podcastLisa found a book in a travel store (John Brierley Camino Portuguese) which was on her bookshelf for years; and then you bump into people and walkers pop upSynergistic life will draw the Camino to youOnce you start putting it out there it comes manifestedThe Universe is conspiring to help you succeed. (The Alchemist by Paolo Coelho)The Universe acts to bring people into your orbit to help youAlbergue Acacio y orietta in Villoria de Rioja16:05 to 17:55 What do you remember about choosing the Camino Portuguese guidebook in 2007Maybe it chose meHer photography is featured on the 2018/2029 cover of Camino Pilgrim Guides: Camino Finisterre-MuxiaThe reason for her choice of a photo with cross turned on her son who was 3 years old and development of son’s faith formation at a time when religion was a battlegroundCamino17:55 to 22:45 What is the Camino?The Way of St James, a pilgrimage since Medieval times and mentioned in the Canterbury TalesMany reasons to walk (spiritual, religious, sightseeing, introspective...)Time aloneTime in nature is what humans needOn Camino we are all outside; walking is our job; the outdoors is the gift and peopleWhat does it mean to pilgrimage?What’s a pilgrim and what’s a tourist - profound questionMany people might begin as tourist and end as pilgrimMany people don’t have a reason to walk CaminoMost often the reason is not definedThe change happens on the walkThe Compostella is the diploma of having walked, at least the last 100 kmNo way to collectively compare beginning reason to walk with end reasonHer own experience and those of others: personal development, growth, change, transformationMay take processing over time to understand what happened to you22:45 to 23:35 What Called You?Over and over a pilgrim is asked: What called you?Each time the question shifts the answerPilgrims share a knowing of being calledThe take-aways came after and continue to this day23:35 to 26:05 Calling Versus DecisionIn 2014 you attempted the Camino del Norte. What drew you to the Camino? What makes a non-athletic woman of 50 decide to set out on the Camino with a 10 year old in tow?A calling as well to walk the Camino de Note (700 km)Planned a few months in advanceSeasoned traveler so was comfortable with going and with son despite beingPractical Tip: beginning person / end person: before you leave write yourself a letter and leave it on kitchen table and read it when you get back: what hopes, dreams, experiences, or fears were statedLisa could not have seen the roller coaster coming or the tempest26:05 to 28:22 Tempest Behind and AheadIn 2014 you return with the idea of buying a house to offer as an albergue - a hostel for pilgrims. What drew you that endeavor? How did it turn out?Moved from Albany, New York to Cape Cod, Massachusetts in 2006, her mom died, her son was born premature, she was working on PhD in French, her daughter became ill and moved away, so there was new place, new home, new baby, new career (no more labor negotiations)She planned in 2014 to walk Camino with son and not husbandShe was hurt in Ribadeo and that ended the walk and son was hospitalized in BilbaoHusband insisted to meet up in Santiago despite this; but now what? Their home on the Cape rented, nowhere to go. Plan B28:20 to 33:23 Plan BRented a gîte (a small furnished vacation house) outside Navarrenx, France, and there she found a sign for the Camino Voie de Puy en VelayLisa recuperated and the family visited LourdesAlbergue outside Navarrenx called: The AlchemistFamily decides to return to USA and make plans to move to FranceLisa returns to France 3 months later, found property on Voie de Puy en Velay, next 18 months of planning, permitting, and conversions, etc.At close of 2015 while in France with only 2 weeks left to close, all belongings and property in USA sold, was served with divorce papers ending a 15 year marriageThen began the tempest...Question: Having lived that story, how did the Camino touch your experiences?Return for Lisa's answer and so much more on Part 2 -> Thursday 19th November 2020Here we are, at the end of the road but not the journey. Thank you for listening to this episode of Stories From Women Who Walk with your host Diane Wyzga and my guest Pilgrim, Hospitelero and Photographer Lisa Morales.

Production Team: Quarter Moon Story ArtsMusic: Entering Erdenheim from Crossing the Waters by Steve Schuch & Night Heron MusicSound Editing: Dawin Carlisle & First Class ReelsAll content and image © 2019 - Present: for credit and attribution Quarter Moon Story Arts BIO of Lisa MoralesApproaching 50 in 2014, after a career in first labor relations and then real estate, the challenge I chose was walking the Camino de Santiago with my then 10 year old son. He became very ill in Bilbao, but we hit the road again after hospitalization. I became injured in Ribadeo, and he marked the map where we would take up the endeavor again 18 months later.The Camino became all-encompassing. I began volunteering as hospitalera, walking more routes, and turning my first brand-new camera toward the people and places along The Way. I mentor new pilgrims here at home, and counsel returning pilgrims about integrating their camino into their “real lives.”About to become an empty-nester for the second time in 22 years, I know only that the Camino, and creating art are in my future. With Covid raging and my travel confined to the USA, I am seeing the great outdoors from the comfort of my tiny teardrop trailer, photographically documenting this astounding and disturbing moment in our history, until the Camino calls again.How to Contact and Stay In Touch with Lisahttps://lisamorales.myportfolio.com/https://www.lisamorales.com/https://twitter.com/LMoralesPhotohttps://www.pinterest.com/LisaMoralesPhoto/https://www.facebook.com/lisamoralesphoto/https://www.instagram.com/lisamoralesphoto/https://www.linkedin.com/in/lisalmorales/

After the interview, David sent some additional information that he'd forgotten to share... Here's what he wrote: "Some more tips about the Spiritual Variante. The beginning of the walk on Day Two is called the "Ruta da Pedra e da Auga" (The Way of the Stones and Water" ). It was my single favorite day of walking along all of the Caminos that I completed. Also, pilgrims should take the boat trip from Villa de Arousa to Pontecessures on Day 3 instead of walking. The boat ride replicates the way taken by Saint James disciples on their way to Compostela, and it is considered to be the origins of all caminos. It includes the only Via Crucis located on water anywhere in the world. The Spiritual Variante is definitely worth it, and it should not be missed."

Sonya is a 42 year old Canadian who is currently hiking across Canada on the longest multi-use recreational trail in the world with her partner Sean. The 24,000 km long Great Trail stretches from Cape Spear, Newfoundland to Victoria, British Columbia, and from Edmonton, Alberta to Tuktoyaktuk, Northwest Territories. They began their journey in Cape Spear, Newfoundland on 1 June 2019 and hiked just over 3,000 km to Riviere-du-Loup, Quebec before the winter arrived. They will head back to the trail in spring, and estimate they will complete their journey in fall of 2022. Sonya's love of hiking, camping, and the outdoors began as child during multiple school trips into the wilderness. She built on these experiences in university, where she studied Conservation Biology and Forestry, and spent as much time as possible outside, doing field research on forest songbirds. Her love of long-distance hiking began with Ontario's 900 km long Bruce Trail, and grew when she hiked the 800 km Camino Frances in Spain with Sean in 2016. Together Sonya and Sean hiked across France on the Via Podiensis (GR 65) in 2017, and along Newfoundland's East Coast Trail in 2018. After that they decided to make hiking a more central part of their lives, and after selling the house, donating most of their possessions, and leaving behind Sonya's desk job, they did a warm-up hike along the Camino Portuguese in early 2019 and then began their adventure on the Great Trail. As they hike, their goal is to share positive images and stories of their travels across Canada to showcase the amazing and diverse people, places, history, and landscapes that make up this country. By sharing their passion for birds, hiking, and nature in person, on their blog, and through social media they hope to inspire people of all ages and backgrounds, but especially youth, to get outside, explore, and connect to nature through birding and Citizen Science. Show notes Who is Sonya Growing up in Canada Getting into hiking and nature The Bruce Trail, Canada Accommodation on the Bruce Trail Walking the Camino’s in Europe GR65 Her love of hiking The Great Trail in Canada - 24,000 km Their reasons for walking the Great Trail Planning to hike the trail How long would it take?

More about Kat in her own words… While studying at university, I took an internship in Tokyo and climbed Mt. Fuji for the first time. ‘A wise man climbs Mt. Fuji, a fool climbs it twice’ is a popular Japanese saying… so I climbed it 7 times. From Tokyo to Toronto to London where I’m now based, I’m searching for many of life’s answers, and hoping to find them somewhere along a trail. Since quitting an office job in 2013, I’ve walked over 12,000km, this has included the Pacific Crest Trail in America (2,700 miles), multiple Camino’s throughout France, Spain and Portugal, as well as walking the Kumano Kodo trail, and completing the Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage in Japan. Earlier this year in May I cycled 4,529km, the total length of Japan!
