My 2016 journey on the Camino de Santiago was one that touched my heart and soul and transformed me into a new person. My time in Europe lead me into a treasured family home, took my feet over 600 miles, to the birth place of the Xaverian Brothers, through the streets of Berlin, and back to Paris. It is hard to give words to this experience as it continues to unfold with each new step I take.
Below is the chronology of my journey. Please feel free to browse and read at your leisure. Buen Camino!
