About

the camino life

Traveling had always been my passion. After 35 years in the business world I retired in 2013 and began a series of journeys around the world seeking experience and the knowledge that comes with. Once I started, there was no turning back. A sedentary retirement playing golf, drinking beer, and lunching with old friends was not in the cards. I am now in the 8th year of a nomad existence. My only goal was and is to get in flow with the universe and let her take me to places I am supposed to be.

Camino de Santiago

Upon retirement in 2013 from a career I no longer remember, my first adventure was a Nepal Trek.

I was led by an encounter in a Nepal Tea House to the Camino de Santiago. In Spain.  I have found my passion in long distance walking especially the Camino. While I continue to travel the world on a journey within I find walking to be the portal to the soul. Consequently, I am drawn to pilgrimages around the world and especially the Camino. To date I have walked 15 Caminos de Santiago: 11,000+ kms.  450+ days

Other Pilgrimages

But the journey within has taken me to other pilgrimages, including:
