Pilgrim on the Camino de Santiago de Compostela
I have been a Pilgrim on the Camino de Santiago de Compostela since 2011. Since then I have been walking the Camino de Santiago mainly to meditate and refocus my orientation and behavior, so that I can always give the best of myself in the initiatives and projects that involve me. and getting the best out of others by including everyone are ways of seeing the world that are different from mine. Since 2011 I have done the Camino 9 times, always accompanied by friends and work colleagues. The first time I walked the Camino motivated me to do my first half-marathon.
