Every year, hundreds of thousands of pilgrims walk the Camino de Santiago. Here's what some of them have to say about their journey.
"I hit a wall. Burnt out, drained, and running on empty. Walking the Camino didn’t just give me a break, it reset everything. For the first time in a long time, I had space. Space to think, to breathe, to reconnect with the outdoors and with myself. Somewhere along those miles, the exhaustion lifted and something else took its place... clarity, energy, and a genuine excitement for life again."
