from My Camino - the podcast · host Dan Mullins

British pilgrim Matthew Williams shares his profound experiences of walking two Caminos. Matthew recounts his first journey in 2015 which was marked by personal loss and the challenges of winter walking. He reflects on how the Camino serves as a metaphor for life's uncertainties emphasising that there is no 'right way' to walk it. The discussion delves into the emotional weight of Matthew‘s experiences, including the tragic and sudden death of his mother and how those events shaped his perspective on resilience and healing. Matthew's return to the Camino in 2023 symbolises a journey of self-discovery and acceptance as he navigates the complexities of grief and personal growth through the lens of music and storytelling. Matthew's band is Savage Underdogs
