This is a wonderful conversation about finding hope on the Camino, learning to trust your heart and allowing God to bring you home.

Join us in 2027 for the trip of a lifetime!

Genevieve Quigley is Editor of Sunday Life, the magazine in the Sydney Morning Herald newspaper. Gen wrote a few weeks back about walking the Camino with some friends. I knew I had to interview her. We were joined by her friend Tara Trehy, who was the group's organiser and spreadsheet pilgrim. This interview is a great reminder not to judge, not to have pre-conceived ideas of what's right and wrong, but rather to find your own pilgrimage - on the Camino and in life.

Pauline Wald is a French pilgrim who was living what she thought was her dream life - great job, great life. And then Pauline started to question if that was her REAL life. Soon after, pilgrimage and the Camino beckoned. I really enjoyed Pauline's film 'Paths of Life' and her journey is a message for us all - find what is essential and do everything you can to meet at that place.
