I've been a backpacking-type-of-traveler for over forty years
(yikes!! ).

In recent years, I've walked over 2000 miles (about 3200 kilometers) on Camino pilgrimage routes in France and Spain.

That's not a boast: others have walked far greater distances,
and I've often been passed on
the trail by vigorous “oldsters” racing past me.

Now I’m the “oldster”, and it’s my pleasure to mentor others in planning their own journeys.

One of the most frequently asked questions by those wanting to walk the Camino is What should I take? 

Many have never backpacked before, and have no idea how to prepare for a long-distance hike.

So I wrote the book: Camino de Santiago: To Walk Far, Carry Less.

Thousands of people have since used the book to create a lightweight backpack
(see reviews here).

For experienced backpackers, I wrote a slimmer volume:

Camino Packing List Guidebook: For Your Pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela.

It has a complete packing-list (everything!),
along with tips and advice specifically for the Camino journey.

During the Covid “times” I wrote a couple of books to encourage adults to play with kids:
Predict Happiness and
The Card Trick Mystery.

I also wrote Easy Bread Making: A Simple Recipe to Bake Your Own Bread at the urging of a friend.

It really is easy!
