Walking the Camino in 10 Days: Susan Jagannath’s Adventure
Susan Jagannath, a writer on el Camino Ingles. The story of a woman that become her own publisher after her first Camino.
With only a short window of free time, Susan decided to walk a 10-day stretch of the Camino de Santiago. Careful planning and a pilgrim’s heart turned those days into a journey as rich and transformative as any full-length pilgrimage.
A Different Kind of Camino
When most people picture the Camino de Santiago, they imagine a month-long journey across Spain. For Susan Jagannath, it was a tight 10-day adventure – proof that the pilgrimage can fit into many shapes and schedules without losing its magic.
Planning with Purpose
With limited time, Susan focused on smart preparation. She chose her route carefully, trained for long walking days, and embraced the Camino mindset before even setting foot on the trail. Her goal wasn’t to race, but to walk fully present, savoring the moments between each milestone.
Lessons in Every Step
Those 10 days were filled with encounters, reflections, and unexpected lessons. For Susan, the Camino was about more than reaching Santiago – it was about proving that the spirit of pilgrimage isn’t measured in miles or days, but in openness to the journey.
Susan is an author, adventurer, and advocate for making big journeys fit into real lives. Her Camino story shows that even with limited time, the road can still change you.
