About The Camino de Santiago: One Wanderful Walk by Shannon O’Gorman
Every year, over three hundred thousand people complete the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage from St Jean Pied de Port to Santiago de Compostela. Part memoir, part history, ( and part attempt at humour!), The Camino de Santiago: One Wanderful Walk recounts a solo woman traveler’s personal adventure on this route in 2019.
Each person who walks on this ancient route walks in the footsteps of someone who has come before. And, some steps are bigger than others! These are compelling stories set in beautiful Spanish landscapes and in bustling cities, and they are the stories of the human connections built from funny, shocking and poignant experiences.
Why do so many people chose to walk this way? What did the author hope to gain from the experience? Was the food tasty? How was the wine? A lot of uphill? Any bedbugs?
Follow along with the author, as she follows the yellow arrows and the proverbial yellow brick road, and tries not to get lost on her way to Santiago.
This is book is for the armchair traveller and for those planning on taking a trip to Spain to walk the route for themselves. Sit back, be inspired and let the magic of the Camino unfold!

Author Bio:
I appreciate your interest in my writing and I am thrilled to share my books with you. They are the result of many years of traveling, dreaming, and writing.
My path to becoming a writer was gradual. Although I have always loved stories, it wasn’t until I gained more life experiences that I started writing seriously. I felt that I needed to explore the world and gain a wider perspective before I could write about it.
I grew up in Winnipeg, Canada, and started traveling in my early twenties. I vividly remember my first trip to New Zealand, where I was amazed by the sight of so many sheep!
As I traveled more, I discovered that I could actually support my travels by teaching English. I was thrilled!
This led me to spend over ten years teaching students of all ages in Japan, where I also got married and had a daughter.
Eventually, my family and I moved to California, where we currently reside.
My stories blend elements of adventure and mystery, drawing inspiration from my experiences in different places.
