This past June, I walked 500 miles across Spain on the Camino de Santiago — specifically the French Route, or Camino Francés — a pilgrimage that has been traveled by millions for over a thousand years. It begins in the French Pyrenees and winds through stunning Spanish landscapes, ancient villages, and countless moments of reflection, challenge, and growth.

But this wasn't just a trek for me. I walked in honor of my grandpa, who completed the Camino twice — once in 2014 and again in 2016. His stories, faith, and adventurous spirit stuck with me, and after he passed, I felt called to walk in his footsteps, literally and spiritually.

In this video, I share my experience on the Camino: the people I met, the moments that shaped me, and what it meant to carry my grandpa’s legacy with me across every step.

If you’ve ever thought about doing the Camino, or you’re just curious what it’s all about, I hope this inspires you.

🙏 Buen Camino.
