Amazing
by: Jaclyn Hilliard - United StatesProgram: Camino de Santiago Course & Hiking the WayThis trip changed my life in all facets. It made me more independent, curious, and extended my wealth of knowledge. My living situation was tricky as my host mom didn’t know a bit of English and I didn’t have a lot of Spanish. However, overcoming that hurdle made the experience even more wonderful. Walking around the cities we visited and lived in was amazing to really get a good grasp of cultural differences.
