Before I walked Stage 1 of the Camino de Santiago (from St Jean Pied de Port to Logroño), I scoured the internet for hours and hours to make sure my packing was on point. This here is a compilation of everything I researched and decided to bring on my own camino. Use this post as…
I’m not big on New Years resolutions, but I do love a bit of reflection and introspection at the end of the year. I thought it would be fun to look back on everywhere 2022 took me and share some travel highlights! I ending up calling 2021 “The Year of the Sailboat” for obvious reasons,…
