A woman sets out to walk the Camino, the ancient pilgrimage across the north of Spain. No longer young, she walks alone, leaving family and friends behind. But she also carries them with her, in the messages they've written on her stick. Each day she walks and each day she reads the messages, and muses on them. These are her musings, on the places she sees, the people she meets, the events she lives. The Things My Best Friends Told Me for the Camino and for Life is part travel adventure, part soul journey. It's whimsical, witty, and wise. Kerry O'Regan lives in suburban Adelaide. She's a retired academic, a Quaker, grandmother and unlikely adventurer.
