On September 8, I begin walking the Camino Francés—nearly 500 miles across Spain to Santiago de Compostela.

I created this website for two reasons.

First, many friends and family have asked me to share my journey. This will be a place to follow along through photos, stories, and reflections from the road the people I meet, the places I see, and whatever unfolds over the miles ahead.

Second, as the trip got closer, I realized I don't want all 500 miles to be about me. So I am dedicating 100 miles of my Camino to others.

You can dedicate a mile in honor of someone who could use a little extra love, strength, or prayer right now; in memory of someone you miss; in gratitude for someone special; or simply for an intention you hold close to your heart. I'll carry that person or intention with me for that mile. There is no obligation to share more than you want to your intention can remain completely private.

Please email me directly at amurphy27@gmail.com with your intention by EOD Monday September 7th

As I walk, I'll share each of my dedicated miles here so you can see the little piece of the Camino I walked for your person or intention.

I have no idea exactly what the next 500 miles will bring and I think that's part of why I'm doing this.

One step at a time and 100 miles walked for something bigger than me.

Buen Camino ❤️
