Camino de Santiago FULL Documentary (Camino Frances) | FINDING MY WAY

[@vanhallaadventures]

2 months, 500 miles, and over 1,000,000 steps. The Camino gifted me many things one of which is deep gratitude for the journey itself. I hope you enjoy! BUEN CAMINO!

[@javidjavadi7140]

Congrats 👏👏Your determination and perseverance have surely taken you on an emotional journey of self-discovery and growth. I am so proud of you for pushing through the challenges and obstacles to achieve this incredible milestone. You are a shining example of what it means to set a goal and work hard to make it a reality. Keep shining and inspiring others with your amazing journey! 👍👍👏👏

[@nancycompagnie6500]

Been following your adventures for a while now, especially enjoyed watching this one 🙂. I'm going on my first camino next spring, starting from my hometwon in Belgium. It will take me a good 2 months to get to St-Jean, i'm going as far as Muxia and Finisterre, so i'm thinking i will be hiking fot about 4 months...can't wait 🙂 Until then i'm living vicariously through your adventures. Thanks for sharing all this x

HI there, What kind of camera do you use?

2 months for the frances?

Gday Cristal… from DownUnder in W Australia! I have followed your Camino .. & just love your calming attitude, graciousness & your spiritual awareness. I am 77 yrs old lady & you have inspired me to walk Sarria to Santiago de Compostela! … probably April ‘25. Gracias muchas! Jos Perth WA

No matter how many Camino videos i watch, i get taken back to mine, walked the frances, & De Norte, both had a lasting effect.....well done.

[@MMESSINA2]

Thank you Crystal for this amazing reflection of your journey on the Camino. I am a “veteran” of the Camino having traveled it over the span of three installments in 1999, 2000, and 2001. I have sought out and watched many KZbin video accounts of people who have documented their Camino journey…yours in my opinion was absolutely the best I have ever watched. Your narrative and thoughts so captured the heart, essence, and spirit of this amazing 1000 year old tradition. Bravo, my fellow pilgrim! Thank you and Buen Camino for the many roads to come in your life.

[@Stevonthemove]

So true🎉

[@marykallgren8957]

For years l have longed to do this pilgrimage, maybe l can find one of my friends to plan to join me in my quest of my deep desire to go!!

[@Martinarigney]

I watched numerous documentaries about this camino. Yours is by far my favorite. Great job❤️

[@KatieMcManus]

I have watched dozens and dozens of these Camino videos, documentaries, shorts, reels.… But yours is by far of my favorite. It’s exactly the content a traveler like me is looking for. A very curious traveler. I always come back to it! I’m so inspired by you and I can’t wait to walk the Camino next year. So proud of you. Thank you for sharing.

[@annfarrell9009]

Yes my favorite also

[@danielbertsch8291]

Since watching the Emilio Estevez/Martin Sheen film, The Way, several years ago, I have periodically binged Camino documentaries and vlogs. This film (Yes! A film rather than a vlog!) is among the best! The exposition of challenges - physical, emotional, philosophical - is heartfelt, honest, and engaging. The traverse of La Meseta really got to me. Your honest discussion of depression at the completion of the trek in Santiago was refreshing. I enjoyed the viewing experience so much that I just emerged from the Icelandic hot springs along with you and your husband! Buen Camino! Ganji per vel!

[@astcal]

this is the best video journal of Camino de Santiago I have seen on KZbin.

[@vanhallaadventures]

Thank you! ❤️

[@stevefoster1511]

This was really very well done. In 2019 my wife and I walked the Camino Portugues and my daughter walked the Camino Frances and we plan to do the Frances in the future. It's cool that you tackled the impact the walk has on your life. While the reasons for walking are as numerous as the Pilgrims, two lessons for me were that we are all out there for our own reasons and so a perceived unfriendly "Buen Camino" may be simply a sign that the person you just encountered is in the moment of their journey. Nothing more and nothing less. Secondly my walk allowed me to return to my life of abundance and purge a little. Spending weeks with everything you need in a 30 l backpack caused me to view my closet and my possessions differently and over the next 6 months following my return home, I made many trips to Goodwill. Again, thank you for this. Well done. You are a very good visual storyteller and I enjoyed following your journey.

[@andyhilton2782]

20:26 - "I accepted what it was, and moved on..." Didn't dwell on it. Good stuff. Thank you for sharing a part of your journey. Sincerely, fellow Camino walker

[@shellidalton3253]

BEST documentary ever!! Thank you for sharing this. Day 18 of your journey, my mantra the entire West Highland Way. It so awesome to know someone gets it ❤️

[@bhauvana]

I didn't think I'd get emotional watching this, but when you started crying when you made it at the end made me tear up! and then when your friends all cheered you on was such a special moment. I loved your commentary and insights throughout the journey and can relate to a lot fo what you discussed. Feelings of not feeling like you've done anything in your life, questioning what you want out of life. I hope you get all that you desire! I am moving to Spain soon this year and you've inspired me to do complete this walk at some point so thank you! Wish you all the growth, lessons and blessings this life has to teach us.

[@brentnorman6848]

What a beautiful and honest documentary. I walked the Camino Frances with my sister back in 2018 and this brought back so many memories. I found it hard enough to walk and try to capture in a journal what I was going through. I don't know how you found the energy to not only walk, but film and then edit this project. When I did it, i had to leave my wife and 2 boys behind. My son Tiago was only 6 months old when I left, and I hit that emotional wall in Sahagun. I was missing them so much and felt guilty for being on Camino. I still get teary eyed when watching people enter the courtyard in Santiago de Compostela. The camino is one of my highlights of my life so far. I was so happy to share it with my sister. I am leaving in 2 weeks with my sister to do the camino Portuguese from Porto. Bom Caminho and thanks so much for sharing.

[@jayduncan9315]

I am so entranced by you, your journey and your graciousness of taking us along. I am a 60 year old woman who has always dreamed of walking the Camino and your video has now sparked the flame. I am making plans to do this epic journey next year. Thank you so much for this incredible gift and sharing your transformation. You are a very gifted filmmaker. As I see it, that is your contribution to the world. Keep sharing your journey's and opening up possibilities for others.

[@di_tattoolover]

I am the same.. 63 next week and this walk has been a dream for around 50 years.. it’s now or never, so maybe I’ll see you on the trail next year.

[@KarelEmck]

“What am I really doing with my life? I want to be of value to the world. “ (Midlifecrisis 1.0 - video time 1:00 ) By documenting a journey like yours, with a video like this, you’re already bringing value to the world! Not only by giving information about the pelgrims hike, but also by openly sharing your struggles with a question most of us will face sometime. So maybe your guides gave you an ‘immediate inspiration’ to share the big question - What am I really doing with my life? - and by sharing only you create value. Keep up the good work. ❤

[@pinkiesmum]

WOW! This was the best Camino video I've seen so far. Maybe because like you I am a solo woman who intends to do the Camino on my own. Thank you for sharing and well done! X

[@Laureneickholt]

Your documentary was truly inspiring! Having walked the Camino from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port myself, I resonated deeply with your emotional moments and thoughts. It’s a beautiful journey that reveals how much more we are capable of-our minds really are the only limit. Thank you for sharing such a profound experience!💛

[@rangelet]

I've never watched an entire KZbin video of someone's journey, but I am glad I stuck this out. Congrats and well done. Appreciate you sharing your experiences. My wife and I look forward to doing our pilgrimage in 2024 at the ripe age of 55.

Absolutely loved it. Watched it together with my parents tonight, as we continue to talk about maybe doing this pilgrimage as a family one day. Thank you for inspiring with your incredible journey, and amazing film making! I was in a state of awe every time I saw you limping and then picturing you walking extra to set up your tripods to get the shot! What a feat.

Well done! I have never seen a video of the Camino that touched and resonated with me as this one. The feelings and insights that I had when I did the mini Camino are all in sync with what you said about your walk. You have inspired me to think about doing the entire French Camino.

This entire video touched my heart. You had so many words of wisdom in this documentary. I really needed to hear what you had to say. We all go through different experiences in life. I resonate with the "leaving your past behind" with the rock. The strength it took to endure this walk, we see you! You add value to the world just by being you. I just went through a total emotional day healing. Your video is something that added value to my healing journey. I think that's very beautiful. Thank you for your existence on this planet. ✨️💜

Even if this trail is much shorter on its own, it will still be a revelation for me. I burst into tears when you stood in front of the cross. And you were right, it's not because it's the place and everyone's doing it, that you have to do it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, this video brings me so much,

walked the Camino from Vezelay in the middle of France , by the time I got to St Jean Pied de port , I had gone through the pain , the bad shoes , the blisters and was a marching beast , the Spanish dogs were sweet and definitely a glass of wine (or two ) were excellent fuel Got to the adrenaline junky phase at the end , two years later walked from the Estonian /Russian border town of Narva back to Vezelay , about 3500 km my pilgrim passport was full , I had added another stuck with cello tape and ended where I had started covered with stamps on both sides click on my name , there is a little video of my Camino memories

I just want to say that I have watched so many Camino videos and I am truly blown away by your honesty and persistence, I have watched yours and many other videos over the last few years. You make the journey interesting and honest and i have wanted to do this walk since my kids were 3 and 5 and now they are 13 and 15. We used to do crab camino races on the beach when they were little. When you mentioned journaling, i immediately thought of my best friend who lives in port alberni BC who is almost the same as you in so many ways. He journals every morning and gets in touch with his thoughts and feelings on a continuous basis. He is my best friend and we have know each other for so many years since grade 9. He questions his value almost daily and like you walks through it on to the next destination. I appreciate you, Thanks....
