Camino de Santiago

We are surrounded and often bombarded by technology in our lives. The Camino offers an escape, an opportunity to disconnect and detox from digital habits. The trek was undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and unique experience in my life, and a haven for self-reflection.

Gifts along the way

I threw a few paint markers in my bag, just in case I found a good stone, shell, or leaf that could use a little doodling. The forests provide an abundance of eucalyptus leaves, one of my favorite canvases. I have made a collection to “leaf” behind!

History: The stones along the route to Santiago were initially placed with the intention of guiding other pilgrims. In this way, other travelers were informed of the path to follow, before there was standardized signage. The stones in each section are a silent way of creating community, in which the pilgrims do not meet each other but are aware that they follow the legacy of others before them.
