Category Archives: Southern Europe Bruno and I embarked on an unusual adventure for us: we became walking pilgrims on the ancient and infamous Camino de Santiago. In this blog post, learn about what the Camino is, why we decided to take the journey, how we prepared, and how we packed.  We’re not the only ones living a nomadic lifestyle in a home-on-wheels. Just meet fellow overlanders Frank and Sharon if you don’t believe me. We first met them a couple years ago in Uganda, but recently reconnected with them in Spain’s Pyrenees Mountains. They had some very exciting news to share with us!  It’s finally happened: we’re back on the road! Our hiatus was longer than planned, and it has been over three months since we’ve lived in our tiny home-on-wheels. I expected a transition, but I didn’t expect it to be THIS challenging. Would I be able to get used to our nomadic life again? Would I be able to live in a camper van after living in a real house? I’m not so sure…  Wandering Footsteps will soon be heading back on the road! Over the next several months, we’ll be sharing stories and photos about hikes in Spain, coastal drives through the Iberian Peninsula, bush-camping in the Sahara, souqs and food in Morocco, and more. Subscribe and stay-tuned for an exciting and eventful fall and winter 2015!  No trip to Italy is complete without pasta, wine, risotto, and gelato – especially for a travel foodie. And ESPECIALLY for a travel foodie with unfinished food business in Italy. Our five nights in Italy were thus a personal quest for me to experience Italian culture through its food. The quest was easier said than done. |
