About the Camino:

The Camino de Santiago, also known as the Way of St. James (or simply The Way), is a network of ancient pilgrimage routes that lead to the shrine of Saint James in the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia in northwestern Spain. There are dozens of pilgrimage routes, with the most popular being the Camino Francés, or French route. Today, each year, tens of thousands of people from around the world walk a Camino route for religious, spiritual, personal, or recreational reasons.

Reviews for Solo Camino: An Empowering Guide for Women

""Women are dream-makers. But what they do better than conjuring exciting dreams and plans is talking themselves out of them. Mistresses of dreams but also, sadly, of excuses. Not surprisingly for a tribe that loves to do for others is the sticky belief that to act on a dream is to act on selfishness. As we eventually come to learn-often too late in life-the difference between having a dream and acting on it is the difference between a life lived and a life lived with heart, soul, and gusto. Solo Camino counters the wrong thinking by providing words of affirmation and confidence to get you out of the house and into an adventure."" -Jane Christmas, author of What the Psychic Told the Pilgrim ""This is such an amazing and inspiring book for women who are thinking about traveling the Camino. Whether you are an experienced traveler, or someone who is new to the idea, this book offers an honest and realistic overview of what to expect. While there are many guidebooks out there, Solo Camino follows a refreshingly different path. The author helps the reader to understand not just the physical and practical challenges a women night face on the Camino, but also the emotional, mental and even spiritual aspects to consider. Loved it. Many women would love to take a journey like this, but fear holds them back (for various personal reasons). The author doesn't judge them, rather she tries to help them find the source of their fear to move past it to enjoy a spiritual trip of a lifetime. I've traveled solo to many countries including Malaysia, Singapore, Russia, New Zealand, Finland and the Arctic - and I would have loved a book like this for each country. No pressure to the author. LOL."" -Gina Brown, author of The Sugar Bowl Feud ""Solo Camino was an absolute pleasure to read-I devoured it in three captivated sittings. More than just a guidebook, it's a heartfelt invitation to tune into our inner voice and step beyond the confines of daily life. Renee shares her deeply personal journey with vulnerability and courage, showing how the path can lead us not only across landscapes but into the depths of our own transformation. Her story is a powerful reminder that the way forward is often the way inward."" -Lovena Harvey, owner of Gathering Place Trading
