	Description:		Beth Jusino has written a book chronicling her Camino from Le Puy to Finisterre called Walking to the End of the World: A Thousand Miles on the Camino de Santiago. Beth is an award-winning writer and editor who lives in Seattle, Washington. She’s also a pilgrim who’s spent more than 100 days on the Camino. Beth outlines why she went on the Camino below: ‘I wasn’t seeking the answer to some important question, grieving a loss, or looking for a radical change to my everyday life. Eric and I both did meaningful work that fit our personalities and passions. We had good friends, a healthy extended family, and hobbies galore. We were childless by choice, so there was no drama there. We lived in a city I loved, in a corner of the world I thought was just about perfect. But yet here I was, in a remote corner of France few Americans had ever heard of, with a plan to walk all the way to the Atlantic Ocean. Why was I here? Well, because twenty years of postmodern adulting had burned me to a crisp. My life, like that of most of those in my generation, was controlled by the relentless demands of screens. I ran a publishing consulting business and spent my days, and too many nights, hunched over a laptop. Though I controlled my schedule, I had trouble believing that I could take a day off and still pay the rent. I had four separate email inboxes, all of them filled with demands on my attention. My electronic calendar was a rainbow of appointments, commitments, deadlines, and tasks—all overlapping. My social media habits had accelerated with the rest of my life’s demands. I constantly checked my smartphone. Some days I couldn’t get from my apartment to my car without opening Facebook. What if I missed something? What I was missing What I was missing was a life that felt real. I was here because the Camino, with its thousand years of history, felt real.’ Do you want to be around other pilgrims in a non judgemental & supportive space?
