The Reluctant Pilgrim - An Incomplete Guide to Walking the Camino de Santiago

Why walk the Camino de Santiago (or Way of St James), a 25-day pilgrimage across northern Spain, when you can put your feet up and read about it in a few afternoons?The Reluctant Pilgrim offers up for your pleasure a journey of incredible personal sacrifice. In an act of utterly unselfish authorship – other than how many books he might be able to sell – Paul Huschilt forfeits as few creature comforts as possible while undertaking a trek that pushes him beyond his limits and almost over the edge. The result is a series of entertaining misadventures on one of the world’s most beloved and sacred paths, and a gath- ering of life lessons along the way.Paul Huschilt was born in Windsor, Ontario, Canada into a Roman Catholic family, where as the second youngest of eight kids, he learned to navigate large groups. Today, he is a professional speaker who performs comic re-enactments of conventions as well as unique keynotes on personal and organizational wellness. Paul works in French, English and occasionally Japanese. While working in Japan, a Buddhist friend invited him to walk the Cadillac of Catholic pilgrim- ages known as the Camino. Paul said ‘Yes’ when ‘No’ would have avoided so much unnecessary human suffering ... and the rest is his story.www.paulhuschilt.comSIGNAN PRESS Read more
