Ep 149: "Rogue pilgrim" Fiona takes on the Kumano Koda and Everest Base Camp

SEEING THE WORLD AT THE PACE OF WALKING

What comes after the Camino de Santiago? What do you take on next, after you’ve shown yourself that you can do big and hard things and when you realize that you are physically, emotionally, and mentally strong?

And what do you do when you realize that the practice of pilgrimage is now completely a part of you, and your favorite way to travel is to move at the pace of walking?

You do what my guest today, Fiona, has done, and you find other pilgrimage and trekking routes in other parts of the world, and you keep walking.

Fiona refers to herself as a “rogue pilgrim” – someone who walks to explore life’s deeper questions but who doesn’t have a religious reason for going on pilgrimage.

In this episode, Fiona is sharing about her Kumano Koda pilgrimage in Japan, plus an extraordinary story of survival and camaraderie on her journey to Everest Base Camp.

JOIN ME ON THE CAMINO FRANCÉS IN 2027?

Some of my pilgrims would never walk the Camino without this support.

Others just want the camaraderie that comes with starting with people they already know and who are equally passionate and excited about the journey.

Still others love that starting this way takes the edge off of the fear and anxiety that comes with taking on something like a pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago.

Others love planning and preparing and appreciate doing that in an organized, linear, and thorough way.

How can I support you in making your Camino dream a reality? Walk with me in 2027! Go here to let me know you're interested.
