Hello Trekkies, our old friends! We've come to talk at you again....

Grab your passports and pack your bags with all your TSA approved items, because we're off to the Camino de Santiago!

Join Sam, Katy, and longtime friend of the show, creaky farm table, who had a lot to creak about in today's episode. We tried to edit out some creaks, but farm table refuses to be silenced, and who are we to censor our four-legged friend?

We're back from our hiatus (we missed you!) to tackle the rundown of Katy's 2023 experience on the Camino with her mama trekkie, which included around 150 miles of the Camino Frances, and close to the same mileage on the Portuguese Way and the beautiful alternate route, the Variante Espiritual.

We'll talk travel hassles, food, lodging, bathrooms, budgets---all the logistical wonders of planning a two-month long pilgrimage. We'll touch on the history of the Camino (St. James, is that you?) how it's changing, what it means to be a pilgrim purist, and how many options are available to help you make this unique experience your own.

Oh, and...sheep.

She is a loooong episode, and she still couldn't encompass the full experience, so keep an eye out on our socials for extra pictures and stories.

Considering your own Camino? Please feel free to reach out with any questions. You can email us at highwatertrekco@gmail.com

We will also link some helpful resources below.

As always, thank you, we love you! We really did miss you on our break.

Remember, we WILL be back, but moving forward we will putting out episodes monthly, rather than biweekly.
