“The loneliness of the Camino in winter was exactly what I needed. … I enjoyed the luxury of walking at my own pace and not having to worry about making conversation.”
— KC Cheng
When KC Cheng decided to hike the Camino de Santiago, she imagined it as a kind of therapy. She wanted to feel young and adventurous again, in charge of her own life.

On this episode, KC shares the story of the surprising realization she made as a result of her pilgrimage.
