The power of conversation led to this.....a feature in a newspaper in Spain!

La Voz de Galicia

A lady I met on the camino in April, Pat, was volunteering in Santiago in October, and we decided to catch up when I was between groups with a couple of days off in Santiago.

She introduced me to another volunteer who asked about the route I was doing with my next group. I told Eileen, "The Celtic Camino" (it merges with the Camino Ingles)

She told her friend Michelle, who happened to work with & we exchanged texts to arrange a meetup with the President of the Association of Councils of the Camino Inglés, Manuel Mirás Franqueira. Michelle said, "I love the fact that you're doing a full Celtic Camino, and he's very happy to meet Irish people doing it as well."

As it turned out , I met Michelle a couple of years ago, briefly in Dublin, at the launch of the route from A Coruña!

Serendipity 😉

When a group start as strangers & become so much more than friends.

The final steps into the square at Santiago de Compostela are always special.

It still brings me to tears!

Love the reaction of our fellow pilgrims we met each day & passed as we sang our way in on Saturday.

Just one more to go for 2025!

🎉 Happy Feast day of St. James! 🥾✨
July 25 marks the day we celebrate St. James the Greater — one of Jesus’ first disciples and the patron saint of pilgrims and Spain.

If you’ve ever dreamed of walking the Camino de Santiago, this is your day. St. James’ journey of faith, courage, and deep trust still inspires thousands to take the first step — not just on the trail, but in life.

Whether you’ve walked the Camino, plan to, or are just hearing about it for the first time, today’s a great day to pause, reflect, and maybe even start dreaming. 🌄💭

This photo was taken on my most recent solo trip in April when I arrived after 9 days walking & meeting very few people.

Plenty of time to just walk & be!

If it's on your bucket list, go to www.walkthisway.ie & sign up for info

Buen Camino, 🙏

Imposter syndrome plagued me for years!

Post covid I decided I'm embracing life & getting out of my own way.

It has been a rollercoaster - the highs the lows & the gut wrenching feelings of who am I ?, & wtf am I doing???

But with the right help & support from so many amazing people, I kept taking the steps. Sometimes more backwards than forwards!

I may not have a yoga body - whatever that looks like

However yoga has changed so much more, most importantly it has helped change my spiritual, emotional & mental wellbeing & how I show up in the world.

My 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training healed me more than I realised it could or would.

So to get to wrote about my two passions Yoga & the Camino for Yoga Therapy Ireland (YTI) magazine is an honour.

Very grateful to Maureen for this opportunity 🙏

Now I get to help & support others in my weekly class & on the camino

As I said to Eoin Camino Groups a few years ago ....working together will be a win win & im very grateful he agreed !

So you've lots of options join me on one of the group trips in Spain (2025 sold out) or on the Kerry Camino (2025 sold out) alternatively I can set up your Self guided trip check out my website www.walkthisway.ie

Feel Good Factor

Barbara Byrne is an inspiring Life Coach, International Co Author and Award winning Weight loss Consultant.

Barbara has worked tirelessly with women and men to coach, inspire and encourage them through their personal transformations for ten years.

She has empowered and supported clients to create change in their relationships with themselves and others as well as their personal lives, to achieve their personal goals.

Barbara knows firsthand the effects of intense grief, traumatic marriage breakdown and dark depression.

During this challenging time she realised that she had to change, not just for herself but for her children too.

That was when she decided to take time out , be in nature and do something different. An opportunity to walk part of the Camino de Santiago in Spain arose.

Not only did she walk the Camino way for herself but she also raised money for charity and it was there her passion for the Camino was ignited.

Her great love of the outdoors led to her own physical and emotional healing and well-being which resulted in her transformational journey beating depression, losing almost 6 stone and keeping it off over 8 years!

During this experience Barbara realised what her true purpose in life was and has since organised groups to visit Spain and Portugal to complete other routes along the Camino Way.

Her intention is to empower you to create the feel good factor in your life through mindful walking and experiencing the freedom of being outdoors in nature.

She is driven and passionate about enabling others to find their own way to personal freedom and also inspires them to find their way to feel better every day.
