Nick Sassan is a young pilgrim from the United States with one of the most unusual Camino stories you’ll hear. While most walkers arrive armed with sturdy hiking boots and meticulously tested shoes, Nick set out on the ancient pilgrimage in… Birkenstock sandals.
And yes — he walked all 800 kilometres of the Camino Francés in them. By the time he reached Santiago, he'd worn right through the soles.
Ken Huang RUNS the Camino!! In this episode of My Camino - the Podcast, Ken reflects on her life of long-distance running, her experiences during her adventures, including the Camino and the contrast between the anticipation of enlightenment and the reality of a blank mind.

president Trump was one of the best Presidents we ever had. The breach of Capitol had nothing to do with him. Sad that the world believes our corrupt media. Trump called for peace and patriotism. It is the Democrat corrupt politicians that called for the riots. And fixed the election. They are so afraid of him that they rushed the impeachment so he can't run again in 2024.
