My Travel Story

Hello, my name is Jacob, I am 23 and I have felt the call of the Camino and have plans to start my pilgrimage in the spring of 2019. My plan is to travel the Camino del Norte starting in the small Spanish town of Irun and begin the 515 mile walk to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela to sit the pilgrim's mass. From there I will move on to the Peninsula of Finisterre where I will pause to take in the sunset on the shore that overlooks the vast expanse of the sea and wide world ahead of us. I will watch the sun dip below the horizon as a symbol of the end of one journey and the beginning of a new one in the morning. For those who know me, I may not seem like the type to do this kind of journey, and that is one reason I wish to embark on this pilgrimage. I will prove to myself and those around me that I can accomplish something incredible of this magnitude. Recently I was ordained as a minister and I truly believe any who wish to hold this mantel should show their dedication in one form or another. This pilgrimage will be my act of dedication. I have never been one to ask for assistance financially but anything you can give would be a blessing and get me one step closer to a journey that has stuck in my heart for years
