COVID-19 has caused an almost total stop in travelers walking the Camino, which has had a massive impact on the livelihoods of those along the ways. Without their normal income from walkers, many Camino albergues have been forced to shut their doors. 
To help support these unique small businesses along the trails that offer shelter to pilgrims, 75% of Camino for Good's net income is donated to them. 
It is also a brilliant experience for the virtual pilgrims! With maps to track your progress, photos, and stories from along the way, and an online community of fellow walkers this experience aims to get people moving and keep the Camino spirit alive until we can travel again.

They both found the experience so impactful that Kenneth wrote a book about the experience - It's Your Camino. We caught up with Kenneth again to chat about his background, walking the Camino, 2020, Martin Sheen and The Way, writing a book about the Camino de Santiago, and becoming an author. We also asked about his new book - Feds - and his work on missing person cases. Kenneth is currently working on the cold case of Annie McCarrick, a young US American who went missing in Dublin in 1993. Kenneth regaled us with many stories about his memories of the Camino, advice for new pilgrims, and tips for older or less fit walkers.

While studying the stones that make up the magnificent cathedral in Santiago, Dr. Alexander and the team of archaeologists, historians, and other researchers learned a huge amount about the masons who carved them. One of their most noteworthy finds was a small face at the top of one of the columns - a "selfie" carved into the stone by one of these stonemasons on the past. Learn about this ancient selfie, how masons marks were used to construct the cathedral, and the lives of masons during the time.  
“You may have heard the saying “if these walls could talk”, which is used for saying that many interesting things have happened in a room or building.   Well, thanks to the amazing work of dedicated historians and scholars, the walls of Santiago’s impressive cathedral are starting to share their story.”

He was struggling to figure out what to do next when a friend recommended that he walk the Camino de Santiago. After watching The Way and doing a bit of reading, Tom started planning his pilgrimage on the Camino Frances. 

Tom met plenty of people along his Camino. One of those people, an Italian man, introduced him to the idea of foraging for edible plants and mushrooms as he walked. This planted the seed for Tom's Camino Gin! He partnered with a local gin distiller and carefully selected botanicals from along the Camino Frances to infuse. After plenty of sampling and testing, they found a full and interesting combination, and Camino Gin was born!

- What do you think would be the proportion of unspoiled nature compared to more farmland, which I think it's maybe a bit more of a majority. 
- How would you weigh the natural value of the various routes of the Camino with national parks, that people may have discovered at the weekends and so on? 
- What would be a great memory you had with fauna or flora on the Camino? Is there an image or picture, a moment that you can share with us?

Q&A section: 
- Considering your experience in the Camino, what do you think makes the Camino different from other trips or vacations? 
- Is the Camino safe to go now due to the COVID-19? 
- What’s the best location from which you recommend I should start the Camino?

Buen Camino!]]>1597cleanfullfollowthecaminoThe Camino de Santiago is an amazing journey and a wonderful physical challenge. We talked to Daniel Quinn from ReBalance Physiotherapy in Dublin about how to get ready for the Camino and set yourself up for success. He gave us a number of awesome tips about things to look out for when you are walking, and how to keep yourself healthy while on the Camino.  He has helped us redesign our Camino Training Plan to get you ready for the Camino de Santiago. Being as prepared as you can be will set you up for a better Camino with a lower risk of injury. This easy plan will help anyone to get ready for the Camino in just 12 weeks. It includes both walking strength and stability training. Combining these means that you'll build up your fitness and stamina as well as looking after yourself. Adding stability exercises will help you to avoid injuries along the way. Strengthening your supporting muscles will help you to handle uneven surfaces and slopes more easily.    If you have any pains or twinges as you train for the Camino, remember to rest them as soon as possible and see a physiotherapist if they continue to cause you issues. If you are in Dublin, you can find ReBalance Physiotherapy in Dublin 2. Check out our blog post on this webinar! or You can watch the Youtube video of the interview!

- Jean-Louis, do you have any anecdotes? I don't know, famous people or special moments that marked you at the welcome of the pilgrims?
- Jean-Louis, did you make it all the way to Santiago?
