CAMINO DE
SANTIAGO
EDDIE CHIU
After my father’s death,
I saw this move, in which
the father finished the
Camino for his son, who
died in the attempt of
walking Camino.
And that is when I decided
that on the anniversary of
my father’s death, I will
walk the Camino to honor
him.
And I started my journey, taking risk and
step into the unknown…
On average, I walked 30km per day for 28 days, from
French border all the way across Spain.
I knew ahead of time that the weather condition was
not ideal: it was heavy winter, and one of the worst
storms in 50 years covered most of Europe at the time
Nevertheless, I choose to proceed…
On top of the weather, many obstacles challenged me:
blister, cramp, muscle inflammation…etc.
But these difficulties do not stop me…
On The Way, I made friends who are from
all over the world.
And I saw some of the most spectacular beauties
I have ever seen.
Occasionally I missed home.
100km Mark!
But Step by step, I was
closer and closer to my
destination.
I continued to walk, with
faith and determination.
And this is it! Santiago de Compostela!
However, I felt a little lost at first upon the arrival. After all,
getting to the city was the only thing in my mind for the past
30 days, but the city in front of me now was no extraordinary.
Maybe I was hoping for something more to happen…
But then I realized:
everything already
happen already on The
Way. The process is the
result.
I took the risk and
challenge and step into
the unknown with
courage, and the result is
fruitful yet invaluable.
These experiences will
strengthen my personal
characters and help me
become more successful
in my professional life.
Buen Camino!
