Post-Camino Frances – Reflections – I walked a *really* long way

Post-Camino Frances – Reflections – I walked a really long way

I took a moment to rifle back through all the days of my walks – what I thought, what I felt, what I saw. And I realise I walked a really long way – a really, really long way. (And I got really crazy tan lines!)

Now this sounds like an obvious fact. But having been so busy going, going, going, it’s only as I try to finish up my blog posts that I’m only now becoming present to the distance that I walked, and the days that I walked.

According to my walking app:

Distance: 798.93 km (775 km on Compostela)

Steps: 1 172 216

Days away: 49

Hiking Hours: 260

An expat living abroad in Europe - an export really. Ten years on and I’m no longer the accidental tourist. Europe, UK, Australia, Singapore/Malaysia - I’ve either travelled extensively or lived there. I love travel - the journey, the history, the people, the adventure, the learning. Seeing the world with new eyes and just appreciating what is there. How far the journey I have come. My latest craze is hiking long distance trails - mainly along old monastic / pilgrimage routes. I love old buildings and it’s a way of connecting me with people from the past, their hopes and dreams. Travel taught me, that people are basically the same. And it is through food and culture that we come to have a dialogue. I am incredibly grateful. Thank you for spending some time with me. And do leave a comment so that I know you’ve been by.

Loving the tan lines! I’m trying to get mine to go away, and they’re still clinging on, but they bring back some great memories, don’t they?? 🙂
