I have walked the Camino de Santiago on several occasions, along different routes and in different years. This page brings those journeys together in one place.
Each Camino listed below links to a dedicated page with day-by-day journal entries, reflections, and practical notes from the road. You can follow an entire pilgrimage from start to finish, or dip into a particular route or year that interests you.
My writing is personal and reflective, but always grounded in real experience — the walking, the people met along the way, and the small details that tend to stay with you long after the journey ends.
Caminos I Have Walked
Camino Francés – 2017
My first long Camino and the journey that truly introduced me to pilgrim life. Walked across northern Spain from the Pyrenees, learning the rhythm of the road, the generosity of strangers, and my own limits one day at a time.
Camino Portuges 2019
A different atmosphere and pace, with its own character and challenges. This route offered a contrast to the Francés and reminded me how varied the Camino experience can be depending on where — and how — you walk.
Camino Frances 2022
A return to the Francés several years later, walking with more experience and a different mindset. Familiar places felt new again, and the Camino revealed itself in quieter, more reflective ways.
Camino Norte 2023
The northern coastal route: beautiful, demanding, and sometimes solitary. Long days, changing weather, and dramatic scenery made this Camino both physically and emotionally memorable.
Via de la Plata 2024
1000km from Sevilla, the hottest city in continental Europe, to Santiago. I started training for this more than six months before the start. In reality got so sick from constant rain in Spain that I almost had to quit. I managed to reach Santiago in 28 days.
Camino Estonia 2025
From my doorstep in Tallinn towards Santiago (+Finisterre). 300km+ journey from Tallinn to Valga through a lot of nature and time to think for myself.
