About this listen
After spending his 20s traveling the world and hopping from job to job, Gabriel Schirm was lost. At 32 years old, he desperately needed to find direction and meaningful purpose in his life. With no physical training, he decided his answers were waiting for him somewhere along the historic 490-mile pilgrimage route called the Camino de Santiago in Spain.
From the physical high of crossing the Pyrenees Mountains to the mind numbing rhythm of walking through the endless wheat fields of the Meseta, the route was filled with many challenges. Accompanied by his "guru" wife, Amy, Schirm faces setbacks like bed bugs and tendinitis, all in the pursuit of elusive answers. The lessons came from the serendipitous experiences and conversations with fellow pilgrims from all over the world. Sunrises to Santiago chronicles a wondrous journey of personal growth, physical pain, and outdoor adventure while teaching us all to enjoy life's incredible journey.

Best book on the Camino
Really hit all my Camino memories right where I needed them. We too met the artist in the woods and heard about the guy being pushed in a wheel chair. Brilliant story. Thanks Gabriel.

I really enjoyed this.
I have been interested in the Camino for some time, though have yet to walk it. The story told both the good and the bad of the trail, and didn't seem to sugarcoat anything. Very good perigrino :-)

Good book, good audio, but not a great advert.
I've been inspired to walk the Camino Frances, but after listening to several accounts I'm now not so sure.
Snorers, bed bugs, bad legs, silly rules -- the camino has them all, and I'm not sure I'm prepared for any of that.
This is a good listen, but I'm just over halfway through and having heard some of the horror stories, I'm not sure if I'm still feeling inspired.
Let's see how I feel once I've finished the book.

A little self indulgent.
I learned a lot about the Camino from this book, but I’m sad to say that it is mostly filled with self indulgent soul searching from the author. I love a story about self actualisation, but this almost always came back to the individual situation of the author, rather than how it could be perceived by the reader. A short but possibly relevant synopsis would be: “An account of how walking the Camino de Santiago impacted the author’s lack of vision and motivation. He takes / learns lessons from the people he meets, to attempt to discover how he should continue to lead his life”.
