Walking the Camino de Santiago taught me to slow down, take a breath, and to listen. The pilgrimage helped me to better connect with myself, and with those around me. It gave me a unique opportunity to take a look at who I was away from school, my friends, and my expectations, and really get to know myself: my strengths, my flaws, and my values. This is a photo of our group at the top of O’Cebreiro. We sat exhausted, both physically and emotionally. We simply took in the beauty of the world. It was truly a life-changing experience.
