There are two types of people who walk the Camino.

First, there are those who have a life-changing—or at the very least, a life-affirming—experience. And then, there are those who have that experience, but also find themselves utterly hooked, returning again and again. I fall firmly into the latter group.

To date, I’ve completed seven Caminos, including the Frances, Invierno, and Primitivo routes, and I’m planning to tackle the Camino del Norte next.

I’m from Ireland, and have a passion for biking, photography, and writing, and the Camino provides the perfect canvas for all three. I also have a deep love for everything Spanish—the history, the food, the Rioja, the stories, and the language. When I’m not hiking across Spain, I run a software company, Bizimply.com.

The Camino has become a lifelong journey for me—a place of discovery, connection, and endless inspiration.
