24 hours from Death on the Camino…. Pilgrim Trevor Cowan Clark stood at St Jean Pied De Port and thought ‘What have I got myself into?’ That was the beginning of a love affair with the Camino that has resulted in him walking it on four separate occasions…. Even after he was informed he would have only lasted another 24 hours alive if he hadn't found a Doctor on his first time on the Camino Frances. Trevor first walked in 2013, 2014, 2016 and again in 2018. After years of clinical depression he saw the movie ‘The Way’ one night and remembered the nuns talking about it in primary school. A week later he heard about it on the radio and then saw a book in a secondhand shop about the Camino. He thought someone was telling him something and 4 months later found himself in France and so it began…. Trevor worked in IT for 40 years along with the surf industry back in the 60’s. He is 69 years young and growing younger each year. An important message from Brendan. So many Pilgrims contact me feeling ‘out of place’ or ‘

Mexican based Pilgrim Joseph McClain walked the Camino Frances in 2017 and began his career as a tenor on American and German opera stages. During his 10 years of activity in Germany, he made the transition to stage direction, directing a wide range of British, German, and American plays in the German theater.     McClain is the founding general director of Austin Lyric Opera, and from 1987 to 2002 he guided the growth of a company known as the “Wunderkind” of young American operas.

Under his leadership the company launched important new artistic initiatives including the co-commissioning of major new American works.  In 2000 McClain established the Armstrong Community Music School as a branch of the company’s educational program and in the same year completed the construction of a new $5 million administrative, educational and rehearsal complex designed by Lake Flato architects.   Since 2

Dermot Breen is 'The Man with the Camino Tattoo.' Literally. Dermot wrote his first book 'The Edge: Walking The Ulster Way With My Angels & Demons' following his wife Jacqui’s death in 2015 due to cancer. Here’s a brief synopsis of the book: “In the Summer of 2016, Dermot Breen decided to undertake a 1,000 kilometre pilgrimage along the challenging Camino del Norte and beyond in memory of his late wife, who had been cruelly taken from him fifteen months earlier by ovarian cancer. As he carries his rucksack and great sense of loss with him along the centuries old route, he dearly hopes to achieve some sort of peace - perhaps even find a place of sanctuary. And as the land he passes through gradually reveals many of the wondrous myths and legends associated with St James, he begins to believe that miraculous events are perhaps not only confined to the past. Through the tremendous camaraderie he experiences on his Camino, and particularly through his encounters with the enigmatic Jane, he gains a much better

This is the first of my weekly podcasts where I discuss how we can feel stuck in a rut. But we might be actually stuck in a 'groove'.... like a needle stuck on a record... playing the same song everyday. I have come to realise that always trying to 'stay safe' is the way our brain tries to keep us 'safe.' But staying safe and playing a 'small game' where we are stuck in a place where we think we might be OK?? That's a sure fire way to kill all of your dreams. I hope you get something from this episode... if you want to discuss more about how you can take that needle off the record and start to playing a  more fulfilling and better song in your life then contact me...

Beth Jusino has written a book chronicling her Camino from Le Puy to Finisterre called Walking to the End of the World: A Thousand Miles on the Camino de Santiago. Beth is an award-winning writer and editor who lives in Seattle, Washington. She’s also a pilgrim who’s spent more than 100 days on the Camino. Beth outlines why she went on the Camino below: ‘I wasn’t seeking the answer to some important question, grieving a loss, or looking for a radical change to my everyday life. Eric and I both did meaningful work that fit our personalities and passions. We had good friends, a healthy extended family, and hobbies galore. We were childless by choice, so there was no drama there. We lived in a city I loved, in a corner of the world I thought was just about perfect. But yet here I was, in a remote corner of France few Americans had ever heard of, with a plan to walk all the way to the Atlantic Ocean. Why was I here? Well, because twenty years of postmodern adulting had burned me to a crisp. My life, like that of

'Shadows, Shells and Spain' is the latest book from Canadian Pilgrim John Meyer. It's about walking the Camino and the history behind it and the places you pass along the way, but it's also about love and pain and finding your way out the other side and humour and all of that good stuff.  John Meyer writes fictional travel memoirs—unique adventure stories that combine fun facts of history with present-day drama and humor—which are always based on his own thrilling journeys. John is also the studio writer for Entertainment Tonight Canada and has been ever since the popular daily show launched back in 2005.     The plot goes something like this.... Lost and listless on the island of Mallorca, Jamie Draper searches for his estranged wife, Pam, who has left him without any explanation or warning. Exploring her last known location, Jamie stumbles upon an urgent letter from his missing wife promising full disclosure as to her sudden departure and her current whereabouts. There’s just one catch: her mysterious adven

3 years ago Australian Pilgrim Joel Beharrie was in the USA on a holiday and he matched with Zen Nyugen via a dating app. They never did get to meet face to face and so they chatted online as pen pals... for 2 years. It wasn’t until they decided to go on an adventure together to Europe and embark on a life changing journey on the Camino de Santiago did their relationship evolve into something else. This journey would see them walk the Camino Frances together, fall in love and then move back home to their separate hemispheres. They bit the bullet and continued to ‘walk the walk’ and see where they would end up. This eventually led to Zen moving to Adelaide to be followed by Camino Baby Jackson, who appeared to make this twosome a threesome.  Thanks to Joel & Zen for sharing their very unique (and modern-high tech) romance which is becoming more common in this digital age of cyber connection. Things were different back in my day…. :)   Do you want to be around other pilgrims in a non judgemental & suppo
