My Camino Francés began in Pamplona and took me around 700 kilometers across northern Spain to Santiago de Compostela.

For almost six weeks, the Camino became my everyday life. Walking, discovering new places, meeting people from all over the world and never really knowing what the next day would bring.

It wasn't always easy. There were painful days, tired legs and moments when my feet were telling me to stop — but I kept walking.

And that is what makes the Camino so special. It is not only about reaching Santiago. It is about the people you meet, the places you discover and the experiences you collect along the way.

Some of those people became friends. Some places had been familiar to me only from photographs, television or YouTube — until suddenly I was standing there myself.

This is the story of my Camino Francés — 700 kilometers, almost six weeks, countless memories and one unforgettable journey to Santiago de Compostela.
