Walking the Camino de Santiago was one of the best things that I have done in my life. I would recommend it to any one regardless of religious conviction. Just make sure that you are mentally and physically prepared, because it will also be one of the hardest things that you have ever done. Will it change your life? Undoubtedly. Would I do it again? Absolutely. The best part of walking the Camino, are the people you meet. I met people from 31 different countries. Janos, Krisztina, and Markus were great walking companions – something that you need when walking the Camino de Santiago.
