Hank, I'm the Catholic priest you interview in 22:30. People from Denver to Romania have told me about seeing me on this, so I see it's getting the rounds. Most importantly, I remember meeting you on the Camino and I remember all your passion for this ancient pilgrimage that has moved us both. You did a great job on the video, from what I've seen of it so far. Congrats on all the many views. Hope to meet you again somewhere in the world. Buen Camino, amigo!

[@HankLeukart]

Hi, Dave! Great to hear from you! Yes, this Camino video has been seen by more people than I ever could have imagined. I had no idea. I remember meeting you too, and I really appreciate that you agreed to be interviewed for the video! Hopefully, we'll meet again, and I hope you've gotten a chance to take more young people on the Camino! It's a wonderful experience.

dear Hank, it's Camilla. I don't really know if you remember me, I was one of the two walking with Ruben the guitarist. :) this video was a wonderful punch in my stomach ahah I lived for a second time so many memories. thank you... thank you. and say hi to amalia and that she has too keep on with the weird faces :) one super hug

[@HankLeukart]

Hi, Camilla! Great to hear from you! I definitely remember you! I'm so glad you enjoyed the film, and I'm happy it was able to bring back so many memories for you! Feel free to add me on FB, and maybe we'll meet again sometime. I'll let Amalie know! -Hank

What a great video, thank you to both of you, blessed your life with all your encounters on your way….🎉❤

[@brianstokes642]

This brings back so many memories. In October 2019 pre COVID I had competed the Camino De Santiago at age 15. It is probably my greatest achievement in my life so far

[@teresaontiveros5243]

I hope Amalie sees this too; sometimes we go trough our whole life without finding the treasure the two of you found on the Camino. It was meant to be that you two meet there. That was so pure and genuine and beautiful; I honestly have no words. It doesn’t matter where the two of you are and how far you are from each other, the two of you belong together. Don’t waste this opportunity to share your happy self with somebody as special as Amalie. 🙏😍

[@blanceg]

Hello Hank...as I have an acquaintance, right now, ON the camino, I must say in 35 min, I felt as though I'd walked the Camino with you. Brilliant film, worthy of an Oscar for Short Film or Documentary (in my humble opinion). Thank you for not only a fantastic film and your narration, but for your foot suffering (trust me, I felt it vicariously as well). If you've not done Machu Picchu, THAT should be your next travelogue. All the best, Lance G

[@hagendf]

Yeah, a best friend (maybe partner?) on a magical journey is a great thing. Back in real life and years later he has a girlfriend in LA. If you look at more of his channel they've been on their own adventures.

10:25 just made me realize how happy I am that I took the plunge and started a relationship on the camino, even though she's from the other side of the world. We're now 2 months from our 5th wedding anniversary and have the typical crazy life of a family with two kids.

[@HankLeukart]

Wow, what an amazing story! I'm so happy that worked out for you. Congrats on your anniversary and kids!!

[@BorjaTarraso]

Been recommending this video for everyone who has a transition period and it is lost in life. Every time I see this video, I have the feeling I want to do the Camino again - I've being doing many times already. This is most probably the best video about the Camino which shows the real essence of that and the connection with human being.

[@HankLeukart]

thank you! glad you enjoyed it

[@mrfsealah]

I walked The Camino in 2007, when I turned 50. Due to foot trouble, I was not able to finish, but I did get to Santiago and hug the saint. Thank you so much for this video, it brought back so many amazing memories, and I definitely want to go back. I will get there!

[@julianabisada5332]

[@topcandidatecustomresumes5595]

Dear Hank - I'm 77 and a widower, with one replaced knee and the second strongly suggesting it too wants to leave my body. Thank you for this poignant and inspirational video. This is my third time watching it and for the last two, I was hoping for a different ending - that you and Amalie connected permanently. Maybe if you do, the North/South Camino route will be your honeymoon walk. Be well, and thank you again.

We watched your excellent video with 16 other people. At the end of the video some were crying but all of us were speech less waiting for something that never came, something like “... and they live happily ever after...”. One of us said “I wish I could find my Amelia in the Camino, I won’t let her go”. Congratulations.

Hi, Elio! I'm so glad you guys enjoyed the video! Sorry I made you cry. :)

i made the same way last year, it took me 30 days to santiago, only one blister, just using a normal new balance shoes, the weather was all season at the same time on every day, that was in april,and arrive at Finisterre at day number 32, and definitely i’m going to do it it again and again...the most amazing experience in my life

Literally that view of the Atlantic Ocean from that coastal town of Finesterre is the end of the Old World (Europe)…looking out west to the Americas and the New World…and symbolically for many of the pilgrims on that epic journey meant leaving behind something that’s gotten old…and beginning something new. Enjoyed your video-thank you for sharing.

So happy you liked the video!

Thanks, Paul! I hope you two had a great Camino also.

[@isidrovreyes3045]

I just watched this for the second time in a year and find it beautiful to watch how chemistry between you and Amalie was instantaneous. I certainly hope you still stay in touch and also that you found a way to be a couple...in the same country. El Camino was the perfect setting for your encounter. (I’m from SF and met a girl in Spain [Española], the first day I ever set foot in the country, 20 years ago next month, and felt the same way you felt about Amalie...you didn’t want to live without her and didn’t want the togetherness to end. Well, I’m very happy to say that we married, in Spain in 2005, and we live in SF. We will eventually retire in there and have agreed that [my] first order of business is to walk El Camino while she spends the time visiting with her mother) BUEN CAMINO!!!!!

[@jitenpoddar8664]

Hank, I had an amazing experience watching this video. The video is over and these words of yours have stayed with me.... "It's very hard to let people go... I always wanted to say well if i am not going to see you for the rest of our lives, it was great meeting you in away that's kind of weird like you cannot say to someone you just met but you want to because you want to appreciate the people in the moment. Camino really forces you to appreciate people in the moment..."

[@HankLeukart]

Hi, Jiten! I'm glad you liked it!

[@ShariPosey]

As I was watching, I'm thinking, 'Wow, the Camino hasn't changed a bit. It looks exactly like when my husband and I did it.' Then I saw your date...2015--same year we did it. We started April 20, 2015. We went back again in 2019 but only walked from Leon to Santiago. Great film that captures the feelings of the Camino!

[@HankLeukart]

so glad you enjoyed it shari! i'm sorry i never met you in 2015! how was your 2019 trip?

[@rockdiva100]

Wish I'd watched this before I walked it. You nailed it Hank. I walked with 25 blisters from day one and it almost crippled me. I really felt your pain. Thanks for being so open and honest emotionally. It really shows what a struggle all of us go thru when walking this journey. I was hoping for a happy ending with Amalie, love to you both.

[@HankLeukart]

thank you so much! glad you enjoyed it. sorry you had so much trouble at the beginning of your Camino -- I hope you too enjoyed the second half.

[@EverydayJourneysTV]

Louise also struggled with her blisters early on in our walk of the Camino Frances...you really have to look after your feet during this walk 👣

[@marketpoetry]

Fantastic travelogue and video, Hank. I will repeat almost every other viewer's remark: Your video is the best of the lot. So excellent, in fact, I can only wonder on which side of the bed those 58 thumbs downers awakened when they cast their votes. You capture rather deftly the stray moments of external anguish (blisters! tendinitis!), sure, but also the enduring internal joy experienced by all the pilgrims and of course by you. Difficult to notice the many but ephemeral woes when surrounded by such beauty as abounds on the Camino. That beauty, I think, has us all looking up and out, not down and in. You also are a generous filmmaker, allowing your new friends their own moment(s) to shine brightly. And none more so than Amalie. Her purity of spirit you mention comes through loud and clear repeatedly but especially when eating the donut (a GREAT sound effect you added, that choir of angels!), drinking the beer, missing the chocolate factory in Astorga, and climbing the pillar of rocks at Cruz de Ferro. THAT moment, when you segue from video to a still shot of Amalie looking up at the Iron Cross, is hauntingly beautiful, really REALLY well done. You should be proud of yourself. Gosh, not to seem weird but for the many many moments of beauty and grace Amalie adds to (my enjoyment of) your video, I am happy to buy her a lifetime Netflix subscription. :-) In fact, I want to pay YOU for the video you have obviously crafted with attention and love. Alas, I see no way to accomplish either objective. What, no tip jar? Anyway, your cinematography, editing, music, and monologue - with your fellow pilgrims and with us - have inspired this old fellow to break out his Merrells and do the Camino one more time. Thank you. Buen Camino -- on the Way and in Life! PS. You and I have swapped homes. I now am in Edmonds. (Thank you for the recommendation of Aqua Verde Cafe! :-) When I lived in LA and trained for my Camino, I would hike from Will Rogers, up and over the Backbone to Trippet Ranch, and then down Santa Ynez Canyon or Temescal to Sunset, where I would catch a bus back to Will Rogers and finally trudge up that street to the Park. Just like the Camino, with all the cars racing by. But the distance, inclines and declines, and time added up to perfect training.

[@HankLeukart]

Hi, David! Thanks for your especially kind review of my Camino video. I can't take credit for Amalie's bright spirit or for the Camino landscape, but I'll take credit for whining about my blisters! I'm thrilled the video has inspired you to do the Camino again: if you've already done the Camino Francés, you might consider the Camino Primitivo or the Camino del Norte for more challenging routes to Santiago. You might also consider some of the other amazing hikes in Europe, like the Tour du Mont Blanc or something even more wilderness-focused. If you'd like to contribute money to my future videos, you can go to my Patreon page: at www.patreon.com/hankle As for paying for Amalie's Netflix, I'm not sure about her position on that -- I'll have to discuss with her. :) I'll definitely check out your Santa Monica Backbone hike -- sounds fantastic! Ugh, I miss the Agua Verde Cafe so much!

[@marketpoetry]

After a week away, Hank, your gracious reply above serves as a nice welcome home for me. Thank you. And thank you for setting up the Patreon link; a good idea by you. I responded with a donation that I hope helps your efforts. A minor suggestion: Add some interactivity via a short list of possible destinations on which viewers and/or patrons can rank or vote. You will still go where you want to go. I like your suggestions for alternative treks. Did already Month Blanc and, in Nepal, the Annapurna Circuit, Mustang, and EBC. Other treks elsewhere as well. But now I am old and tired so the rigors of the Camino fit my need (and speed) just perfect. And everybody is just so darn friendly. Happy travels!

[@olgatrujillo8460]

I was documenting myself about El Camino because I am going to do the French Way from Roncesvalles next May, and I have found this gem, so thank you Hank for having managed to capture in just over half an hour the essence of this genuine experience that is El Camino. I think that everyone should do at least once in their lives to connect with themselves, and find answers to important things from the simplicity of the route, stripped of almost everything, which brings out the essence of what we are as human beings, that somehow interconnects us all. What an example of transformation is observed in you, from the first days to the last, is inspiring for me, and makes me wish that the days that remain to do my own Camino will quickly weigh. Thanks again and God bless you Hank !! ❤

so, at that point.... I don´t know if I like the most that INSPIRATIONAL music, that wonderful landscapes, your story with the girl or the editing for having me all the time of the video watching....what can I say... Congratulations because THAT´S the magic of El Camino, I am very glad you already know my country and the north with this magic story... Of course you will never be the same as before (take that for sure) but not because El Camino is over, The way NEVER is over, it will be always with you because YOU are El Camino, every pilgrim have its own experience because is not about walking or getting to several stages, El Camino is open your feelings, expose them and, for once in your life, sharing on real time (not with and IM app or in a Wall in Fb...you look directly to the eyes of the other person right by your side and share those precios moments so don´t be afraid, you´ll never finish El Camino... Congratulations Hank , hugs and lots of Love for you for sharing this piece of art and of course to Amalie because El Camino never stops living ....

I also live in Tx. The more I know about El Camino, the more I want to do it ❤

So lovely. I became tearful, then cried as I remember my own Camino. You capture the experience - the mundane, emotional, and spiritual aspects - so well. Buen Camino, Hank.

Why am I crying at this time. I feel that I need to be there again. Just to be who I am to be. Thank you for reminding me of this great walk along the path of the stars. Soon I will walk again with pilgrims, with people who will surprise and teach me that I have to live my life to the fullest. Soon we will cross our paths. #Buencamino #Ultreia

You did such a great job in carrying the story all the way through the video. Letting people go is part of the process of traveling and hiking. It makes us stronger and value people more while we enjoy their company.

[@marylindamcbride221]

Dear Hank, thank you so very much for this video! I walked the Camino in 2019 and, as I watched your film, found myself bursting into tears over and over. You perfectly highlighted so many of the spectacular moments (Cathedral in Burgos, Singing Nuns in Carrion, etc...). I experienced your video as a gift. Love and blessings to you! Ultreia!

[@HankLeukart]
