My Camino - the podcast

Grant met the love of his life on the Camino. He's now living the dream -an author/motivational speaker/business coach/Camino husband ....and soon to be Camino Dad!!!! This is a great yarn...we are blessed Dan

Bernie Bonar and I are kindred spirits. Everyone talks about energy and ley lines. There's something happening here ...enjoy ......dan

Dan Stains represented his country, his state and played rugby league at the top level for more than 10 years. He decided to walk the Camino as an adventure and it changed his life forever. You can hear the Camino in his voice, you can feel the energy coming through the speakers. I loved this yarn and I'm sure you will too.

My song Somewhere Along the Way (the Camino Song) was launched on July 26 by Alan Jones, Australia's #1 radio host. Alan tells the story of how the song came to life. Listeners called in to tell him what they think. The Camino provides!!!! danmullinsmusic.com

Hannah walked the Camino as an adventure. It's since provided a continuing presence in her life. Her music, inspiration, guidance and freedom. There are three surprises in this podcast ~ and they're well worth the wait. Enjoy dm

A great yarn with the Toronto-based writer John Meyer. John walked the Camino to research a book and found himself swept up in the Camino magic. You can buy Shadows, Shells and Spain via Amazon. I thoroughly enjoyed the book - and encourage all pilgrims, whether you have walked or not, to pick it up. (What I didn't enjoy so much were the audio challenges with no internet in the heart of Sydney ~ m...

Sometimes we travel to get lost. Other times we travel to find ourselves. Have a listen to how the Camino drew Jennifer Wills to find her way. This is an extraordinary story about never giving up; about having faith in the people we love. I once was lost, but now I'm found ~ and how lovely to be found by the person who loves us the most. Enjoy Dan

I met Wayne Singleton in the glorious Blue Mountains outside Sydney in May. He had just returned from walking the Camino and still had the glow.....! We talk about kindness, the meaning of pilgrimage and the sharing and caring with others. This is a brilliant episode if you're thinking of doing a Camino - or you want a reminder of why it is so special. Enjoy, Dan

Emma Dunwoody is a behaviourist.....and she's a thinker. Emma and her friends divide pilgrims into three groups. Which group do you identify with ~ and do you belong there? A picture perfect Sydney winter's day provides a backdrop for exploring the spirit of our collective unravelling. A gift for the ages.

David Barrett was 79 when he walked his first Camino in 2010. He's exhibit A for thinking about walking, no matter how old you are. So many of my guests have said the same thing "if you're thinking of walking, just do it". David is our poster boy!!

I met Mikal on the Meseta. His description of why he's making this movie is breathtaking. Sometimes we are engulfed by another's energy. So it was with Mikal. Enjoy, Dan

Jane Farmer is one of those very rare human beings. Her laugh alone is reason to listen to this podcast. We talk about motivation, preparation, determination and the search we're all on.....looking for that something, even if we don't know what it is.

Melinda, Jens, Bodo and Wolf met on the Camino in 2008. They kept in contact year after year and decided to walk together to commemorate the 10-year anniversary of their Camino, their friendship and their journey. I just love this yarn because these pilgrims have done what I hope to do - to keep in touch with my pilgrim family for years and years to come. buen Camino Dan

Andrew hasn't walked the Camino. He's not heading to Spain until 2019, but I thought I'd quiz him about awareness and walking to raise awareness. I mention at the end of the interview My Camino Walks #1 will be released on Kindle in two weeks. It's out now on Amazon. I wrote an article and the foreword. 20 pilgrim stories to enjoy and keep you Camino alive. It's cheap as chips and delightful. Buen...

Tim and Jeannene just finished the Camino Portuguese. They talk about walking together, their faith and what they learned from being pilgrims. You can hear their enthusiasm for what they've just been through ~ the Camino provides.

Well. Glenyce is fantaaaaaastic! When should you walk? Why should you walk? What can you expect to experience? Let's ask someone who has been there, done that, and is now providing a Camino experience day in, day out. This is a cracking interview (if I do say so myself!!!!)

I saw Cathy's smile on Facebook and just knew I had to interview her. I'm glad I did. Cathy and her husband David are determined to walk the Camino each year ~ now on their fourth journey, they're full of the pilgrim spirt......and they love to share it. You can find Cathy's ezpee pants at ezpeepants.com

Kurt Koontz says the first third of the Camino is for the body, the second for the mind, the third for the soul. We talk about addiction, purpose, awareness and love. I know you'll love Kurt's honesty and his ability to put our thoughts into his words. You can find him and his book at kurtkoontz.com.

You know, I'm a pretty laid-back guy.....but talking Darren Combrink made me think the Camino can be a vehicle for change. I already know it changed me ....but maybe it can help change the lives of others through the generosity of spirit we all share. Listen to Darren's story - you can donate via www.backabuddy.co.za/walkingforlife and follow his journey via www.facebook.com/DigitalShelfSA We are...

Stephen has just returned home from walking the Camino Frances. He took a digital video camera with him and catalogued his whole trip. He talks about his motivation, his inspiration and what it means to be a pilgrim.....on the Way and in life. You can find his videos by Googling 'Stephen Jones Camino'. The videos are real and present - just like the Camino......they're awesome. Enjoy, Dan

Bret's an outdoor education teacher from far North Queensland. We have known each other for more than 35 years. We walked together last year from Lourdes to Santiago de Compostela. Bret's answer to my question "What's the most important thing about being a pilgrim?" left me with goosebumps. Enjoy, Dan

This is the podcast you want to listen to if you're a beginner or a long-time listener. Who is St James? How did his remains end up in Spain? Why do pilgrims wear a shell? Nancy Frey has lived and breathed the Camino for the last 25 years . This, I think, is as good as it gets. Enjoy, Dan.

I have been overwhelmed by the response to my podcast 'Your Camino Begins in Santiago' so I've decided to respond to some questions and suggestions gathering dust on my desk. A shorter podcast this week....and a chance to reflect and to learn.

Men of a Certain Age feel a need to grow. Ridiculous when you think they've spent 50 years growing. Brad is a thinker, someone who wants to make a difference to mens' lives. I think he has an important story to tell ~ and I'm happy to tell it. I thoroughly enjoyed talking philosophy and hiking shoes. I hope you do too. You can get Brad's book here - https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/man-of-a-certai...

Anna Chandler and Michael McElhinney invited their son Tom to walk the Camino Norte with them. Tom had suffered from debilitating depression for five years. The Camino enabled him to leave the old Tom behind and to live anew. This is a wonderful story ~ a mother's love, a son's struggle.....and ultimately the Camino provides. A lesson this week for all of us.
