On my Way: 800 Kilometres to Destination Self

Meeting yourself anew can be daunting, but doing so while hiking 800 kilometres across Northern Spain can be life-changing. Aged 19, Leona grabbed her backpack and headed to St. Jean Pied-de-Port, in southern France, and commenced her 35-day trek. The road filled itself with beautiful nature and small towns, blisters and bruises, meaningful conversations with travellers from all over the world, and the endless opportunity of meeting oneself over and over again. Each moment of laughter, joy, doubt, frustration and perseverance leading not just to the grand arrival in Santiago de Compostela, but also to the revelation that you are the creator of your own life.

Dive in and experience the Camino through the eyes of Leona. From making the decision to travel to spending nights in rooms with strangers, to returning to life’s daily rhythm. The Camino is not just about enjoying a fantastic travel experience but about discovering your own path in life.
