In Spanish, "camino" translates to "path," "road," "way," or "route," and can also refer to a journey or course.
The Camino de Santiago, "The Way of Saint James," is a network of ancient pilgrimage routes leading to the shrine of Saint James the Great in the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in northwestern Spain.
Becca completed the Camino de Santiago in the summer of 2006 as part of the Summer in Spain program at Sewanee: The University of the South. Since then, Becca has continued to tap into the lessons from the camino and the power of a good long walk outside to feed the mind and the soul.
