Ep 138: Vision insights with pilgrim Richard

About this episode

Richard shares his inspiring journey walking the Camino despite significant vision impairment.

WHEN SANTIAGO ISN'T THE END This week we are hearing from Richard, who you met back in episode 127. Richard’s story really stood out because he is living with a significant vision impairment. But it didn’t stop him from walking the Camino Francés from Saint Jean Pied de Port to Santiago and then on to the coast, to Fisterra and Muxía. And his pilgrimage didn’t stop there. Here’s the question Richard answers for us: What do you do when you realize that what you had planned wasn’t going to be enough? FREE MEAL AT THE PARADOR IN SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA! Here is some information about the free lunch Richard talked about. Available to the first 10 pilgrims to present themselves at the Pilgrim's Reception Office each day. #youonthecamino#caminodesantiago#firsttimepilgrim#thecaminoexperience#caminopodcast
