Camino de Santiago Documentary | Walk Through Fire

- My second Camino Frances, from SJPP to Finisterre, in honor of my Dad ❤️ This was a very personal journey for me-I was hesitant to share beyond friends and family, because it feels so vulnerable. I am a professional videographer in NYC, but this is unlike anything I've ever made before 😅 I left behind my professional equipment---everything was filmed on my iphone or small sony camera. I walked alone this time, with just a 34 liter backpack and Chacos sandals.
The people in this video are SO precious to me. The lessons they shared have been invaluable. I hope you find value in them, too. I hope their spirits shine through. I hope this either reminds you of your own Camino, so you can keep the Camino spirit alive in real life, or that it inspires you to do your own 💙 The Camino de Santiago really is a life changing experience, and so far, the best of my life 💜

I finally got to sit down and watch this. Every video you do you pour your heart out and show your unvarnished self. With that openness you gathered an amazing group of friends around you along the way. As I said in another one of your videos I’m sure your dad is very proud of who you’ve become. When you hit upon the realization of that he meant when he said you have to be able to walk through fire I imagined him saying ‘Yes Mija!’ Un Abrazo from España.
This comment 😭 thank you so much!!!
"Walk through fire and don't get burned". This will stay with me for a while...
THANK YOU to every single one of you who have sat through this very long video 😂🙏🥲 I'm overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and kindness in this comment section. I couldn't have imagined how fulfilling sharing myself crying on the internet with 70k people would feel hahah! Whether you're planning a Camino, have just returned from one, or are maybe just experiencing it virtually with me, thank you so much for the love and for keeping the Camino spirit alive ❤
I congratulate you on your achievement, your dad would be very proud of you.👍
Y al final el camino se ilumina con una estrella más
@@normabrien8331thank you Norma ❤
@@davidperezherrera7049🥲❤️
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤..... Thank you for sharing this beautiful, intense experience with us. Much love to you. 🤗 - I feel your dad was walking at your side. ❤
Stephanie, as a 62 year old father of two, I want to tell you how blessed I was to watch your pilgrimage video that was dedicated to your father. As I watched, I was so proud of you…through a father’s eye. I know at this very moment, I know your dad is looking down at you and is so proud of you and your accomplishments, and I know he was with you every step of the Camino. And always remember…Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it” (Heb. 13:1-2). You may have very well walked and spoke to your father during your interactions with strangers you met on your journey. How beautiful! My health has kept me away from my Camino bucket list for five years, but I am better now, and with God’s help, I will walk the same trail as you did, in 2024. Peace be with you. (And great job on the YT video documenting the journey!)
I have watched many Camino vlogs and have followed peregrinos on different routes. I can say hands down that yours is the absolute best I’ve seen. The homage you paid to your dad is a testament of the wonderful man he must’ve been. Congratulations for every mile, every tear, all the friends/family you made along the Camino, but most importantly congratulations on finding yourself. I’m in awe of the raw beauty you presented. I will never be able to walk the Camino because of health reasons but I gladly strapped on my virtual backpack to follow you. I’m still wiping tears away. Buen Camino Stephanie from Orlando, Florida.
😭 wow. Can’t even tell you how much this comment means to me. Thank you so so much ❤️ I’m so glad you could enjoy this journey virtually with me. Sending you a big virtual hug 🤗
Also hiii Orlando! 🤗 I grew up in Deland!! 🥰
You’re very talented and I can definitely see you directing/producing Hollywood quality films. If you’re ever in Central Florida I’d love to meet you - maybe a home cook Cuban meal might entice you!!! lol May God continue blessing you always and listen to signs because you have your own personal angel in Heaven. 🙏
What a great film. Thank you.very emotional and very inspiring.🙏
Maria, you couldn't have explained my feelings better. Stephanie you have a gift! Your documentary allowed us the viewer to be a witness of the love of your dad, your mom (silent in the background) and the family that God placed in your "buen camino." This is, like Maria said, by far the BEST Camino video I have seen. I felt your pain, your love, your tiredness, your heat, your laughter, your struggles but especially the moments of pure joy, wonder and awe. Thank you for bringing us along on your very personal Camino. Thank you for capturing what is the reason for the walk!
I and my wife met on a walk over 30+ years ago and Summer Winter rain or shine, even at 71 me, 65 her, we never miss a days walk (yes even in the hospital with nurses frantic) and we were so flabbergasted by your Camino vid....to think you averaged 25 miles per day, after day, after day. People never die that remain in the heart of one that loved them. You're such an inspiration.
Rogerrr oh my goodness 🥹😭😭 YOU are an inspiration, wow! Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely comment. Your love/walking story with your wife is just about the most romantic thing I’ve ever heard 🥲 It’s easy to walk a lot for a month when there’s an end in sight. Your consistency everyday is much more impressive to me! I’m so inspired. Thank you 💖
Stephanie, I'm so pleased I found your video today. I walked the Camino in 2019 aged 68, I was meant to go again in 2020 but the world changed for everyone. Now aged 72 I thought I was too old to go again and follow my dream of walking to the end of the earth (I caught the bus at the end of my last Camino) but now I'm planning on going in 2024. So thank you for sharing your Camino, like you, I will be walking for my parents who both passed since my last Camino. ❤👣👣
I’m going on 74- and I am hoping to walk the Camino! With younger friends whom I mentor. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️
I’m doing my 8th Camino starting May next year (2024) , I’ll be 71
@@rubenmontero4813 These comments just made my day!! You all are so inspiring 💖 Best of luck to you on your upcoming Caminos!! 🥳
@@rubenmontero4813 Buen camino.
I watched this video for the second time today. What a wonderful video on your journey in honored of your father. I lost my father 9 years ago, my uncle who was my second dad 7 years and my only sibling, my brother 6 years ago. I have so much pain in my heart. My brother died 2 months short of his 50th birthday. I'm turning 50 next years. I'm planning to do the Camino in April of 2026 in honoring of my brother and to let go of all the pain and baggages on carrying. Thank you for your video.
A friend and I spent 9 weeks on the Camino 12 years ago, without pressure of time, just allowing the moments to unfold. Your film has come the closest of any that I have watched to expressing the magical quality of that experience. At the end of our journey we decided to live life as a 'Camino' from then on, following each moment as it presented itself to us, 'poco a poco', one step at a time and ended up travelling 'accidentally' for the next seven years, living magically as we came to call it, guided by synchronicity. Thank you!
One of the best 2 hours, I've ever spend on RUclips. Thank you for sharing those wonderful moments 🙏🏻
🥲wow 🙏🏼 thanks for watching! 💖
The only people I desire to be around are travelers. Travel, especially Camino, is the great equalizer. People just come back to themselves when they're away from the lives they don't like anyway. Every video I see of the Camino shows people being happy, real, dealing with whatever they came to deal with, struggling, smiling, growing, resetting. Thank you for all your hard work on this. No one knows how hard it is to put something like this together until they do it. You are awesome for sharing your life on the Camino with us. Thank you!
I leave for Portuguese Camino for 2 weeks today, walking from Santiago de Compestela to Porto over 12 days. I loved your U-tube video. At a young age you are beautifully vulnerable and open and give us the gift of sharing your genuine grief at the loss of your dear Dad, and your honest experiences along "the way." This is my eight time walking Camino's and as I journey from Dublin on the longest day of the year I still feel vulnerable but love the opportunity to be compassionate to myself and kind to others. I will be 64 in 2 weeks and life is good
I just decided at the end of last week that I’m going to walk it in February 2024. Starting from Lisbon. I’m going to need six months to get fit enough to do it, hence my doing it in February. I’m so excited. I wish you all the love for your next journey/adventure. ❤
I am so happy you got to do the camino again and beyond proud of the way you connect with others in your path. You inspire me and challenge me to be better everyday and I am forever grateful to call you daughter. Your dad would be blown away by this creative expression of love!
😭😭🥹 thank you momma I love you so much!! ❤️
This is inspiring. Not just the walk. Not just the emotion behind the walk. What shines through is the effort post walk that you have devoted to making a tribute to your Father. The hours you spent to make this lovely creation are such evidence of your love that still has so much depth. Truly amazing. Thanks.
🥹 thank you!! It’s nice to hear that translates. Thanks for watching! 🙏🏼
My younger Sister Laura also did the full camino in 2023-From France ,across Spain to SanTiago ,then right to the ocean ...(end of the world)
a very inspirational journey..
Thank you for showing me your experience and that of your camino companons ...
Buen Camino ! 👍😊
This is definitely a high quality documentary, well done Stefanie. I was captured by your journey for 2 hours and a lot of thoughts, thanks!
I appreciate that so much, thank you!!
Girl, I normally do not comment on RUclips videos, but I want to congratulate you for pouring your heart into this one. It transmits your feelings! You are an amazing person ❤
Thank you so much Adriana! ❤ ahhh that’s so sweet, I’m overwhelmed 😂😅
As an older American there is very little chance I'll ever see these places let alone have chance to walk the Camino so coming along with you and your companions was amazing. Loved the journey and "meeting" everyone with you.
This is so touching to me 😭 thank you for being here. Hopefully I can bring you along on another Camino very soon 🤗
Stefanie, your video! I've seen many Camino videos. Yours is the only one that made me feel the true spirit of the Camino: the celestial walk into antiquity, the dreadful return to modernity, the highs, the lows, the blisters, the snoring, the unpredictability of the elements, the panoramic beauty, the multi-day, meditative introspection, the vulnerability when you allow the Camino to provide. I completed the Camino Frances in 2017 and have been longing to go back, but COVID had other plans. As a fellow New Yorker now living in the SF Bay Area, your sensibility resonated with me. Loved the sound track you selected too! Excellent editing. You have skills and a gift. I watched the video straight through and was transported to Northern Spain - perhaps needing to do another Camino... There was even a young woman, early in your video, who was part of my Camino family six years ago. (Vittoria from Italy at 9:21- had to pause and rewind a few times to confirm.) Thank you for taking me on your very personal journey (your father would be proud) and bringing me back to a deeply personal space. You lightened my day and filled my heart. Buen Camino, mi Perregrina! Daniel
I discovered El Camino de Santiago maybe 25-ish years ago but like many pilgrims, have been unable to go while raising a family, career and being unable to take a 6 week break from work etc. Now my family are all grown up and I find myself single for the first time in 35 years but my health is now the limiting factor, diabetes and 2 heart attacks. Pilgrims videos on here, especially your's, make it increasingly likely that I will do it very soon before its too late.
Wonderful documentary.
Very brave, insightful and inspiring.
Also GREAT USE of music and a nice voice to listen to.
You had me in the first five minutes at the footage of your father. I wept for him, for you, for all of us who have had the incredible blessing of a loving father. My father was my biggest fan and I miss him every day. Here is a thought for you, a spoken word piece I stumbled upon. Pardon me as I butcher the quote: "Love yourself as they loved you, to honor them.". That seems like an insurmountable task for me; I was so loved. Thank you for sharing your journey. Much love 🙏
I didn’t want to stop watching. I cried and had goosebumps many times. This is a beautiful video and you are a beautiful soul. Thank you for sharing your journey and giving us a window into your experience. As a 64 year old I would love to do this exact route but I don’t think my body could take it.
I enjoyed this movie so very much. It was beautiful! The life-experienced lady at 2:02:05 actually gave me hope that one day I can experience a thru hike in my later years. I'm 48, married, raising two ladies and when the time is right, I'll go.
Aw, yes! I love this. Maybe take your two ladies with you one day 🤗
Thank you so much for sharing your journey! I feel a little nervous for my Camino in September but now I can't wait to meet my own Camino family!
Ahhh so exciting! 🥳 Buen Camino!
I will on the Camino in September too. Buen Camino Sophie!
To both if you - and others will will embark on this amazing looking journey! Hope as much as possible goes to your favor 💗📈
What a wonderful video. I would love to do a part of the Camino. I’m now 71 and can’t find anyone who wants to do it with me so that’s why just the last part as I would be on my own. I’m from the UK and my daughter lives in Barcelona. Maybe next May fingers crossed 🤞
I would walk it with you if I lived closer. You can do it. Good luck🤞
Where do I start? First, Thank you Stefanie for sharing such a poignant and personal experience and story. Within the first ninety seconds I was hooked, inspired and crushed because,, you see, I am 62 years old and have been working for 33 years for the same company and I loved Emilio Estevez's The Way. So, as you can imagine I found all these similarities with your Dad, then you tell us that he's passed and I went from happy and inspired to feeling sad for our loss. You are an angel and I'm sure your Dad was (and still is) with you during your pilgrimage (s). Walking The Camino De Santiago it's been in my bucket list since I saw the movie and I've watched lots of videos about it, your documentary is unique IMOH because it's an honest narrative of not only your thoughts at every specific place you went through, but also the commentary of your fellow walkers. Even if I don't get to do The Camino, I'll be forever grateful that I watched yours in the entirety and I felt as if I was walking along with you and your group. God Bless you, your Dad and your family. Greeting from Texas!
Thank you so much for this! ❤
Hello Stefanie, My wife and I completed our first pilgrimage SJPDP-SDC in 2017. What a beautiful video and tribute to your father you have created. With daughters your age...I know how proud your father must be of his daughter. Blessings always 🙏 M&B
Thank you! 🥲
You did this very well. If you ever walk again, start from Le Puy en Velay. The first two weeks are magnificent. I walked 70 days from there 2022. My lesson learned is to be in the moment, as every one has something of beauty to appreciate. Buena Camino pilgrim. Keep inspiring.
Wow, 70 days Journey. I have heard of a 30 hike. I am not sure I can do 70 days, unless I was extremely fit and younger.
Thank you for sharing your intimate personal relationship and physical walk. I had never heard of this: It looks ardurous, but something I wish I could do! (no $). It looks more than fascinating!! 💗💗💗
Thank you for sharing with us, so we can experience even a small amount of your rewarding experiences!
There were so many times when you or someone said something about the Camino, and it just hit in the feels that I instinctively would go to click the like button but then realise I've already done it. Your journey as amazingly inspiring. I start the Camino soon and it's been on my mind for almost a decade and as the day comes closer I've noticed myself worrying about "what if I don't feel something at the end", "what if I don't find what I'm looking for". So when you said that right at the start after your first Camino, "why didn't this solve everything", I'm glad someone else has addressed that. And I'm grateful that you shared this experience of you walking the Camino again but seeing it in such a new light. It's helped me realise that I've just got to walk and allow things to happen themselves. Thank you!
Fabulous documentary! I actually started walking the same day that you did! I did not meet you but I recognized a number of people. You really captured the essence of the Camino and my favorite part was your friend at the end who said “I am perfect the way that I am”.
Ahhh no way! We must’ve crossed paths and not known it. Thank you so much for watching! I shared your comment with Josefien and it made her very very happy 🥲❤️
That was simply amazing. You captured the essence of the Camino in brilliant fashion. My wife and I cried and she hasn't even done a Camino - yet she knows my own experience last summer on the Camino Frances and the amazing family I became a part of. I have watched many videos/vlogs but yours is extremely powerful. I, too, will be doing my 2nd Camino this fall...I'm not sure how it could be any better than my first but that isn't going to stop me! As I am fond of saying: "Without the people, the Camino is just one bloody long walk." Thanks for the memories and sharing your story. Cheers from your northern neighbour
Wow, thanks so much for sharing this Mark ❤ Hi to your wife! 👋 and Buen Camino for your second so soon!! I’m trying to figure out a way to go in September as well. I honestly can’t imagine it getting any better 😅 Hope you have a great time! ✨
@@StefanieHurtado Well if you get to go in September, who knows, we may collide somewhere!
I just watched this whole video in awe. I’ve heard about the Camino walk but didn’t know very many details. Your video made me feel like I, also, was able to experience some of the magic of walking the way. I especially enjoyed when you spoke to the young man about his spiritual awakening & feeling God’s presence.
Thank you Donna! That was one of my favorite moments too ❤ David taught me a lot
Wow, I just got back from doing the last 100 KM from Sarria with my mom. I told myself I’d be content with doing it just once as my feet began to ache on day 3 and the soreness settled in. Now that I am back home, I want to do it again but all the way from the beginning.
Your video made me cry. Beautiful documentation.
Thank you for
Thank you so much for this. I'm planning my Camino for next year. Your story, the stories of your fellow camino family - are inspiring and insightful. It's videos like these that shine light in my life whilst I myself am walking through fire right now ☀️
Wow 😭 thank you so much! This means so much to me. Everything you said is all I could’ve hope for someone to feel while watching it. Sending you so much love for your walk ❤️
Thank you for doing this. I completed Camino Frances a little over 3 weeks ago. Thank you for bringing me back to the places that I miss so much…
I imagine if you did it in 3 weeks, what route did you take and where did you start from?
@@Emy53 I meant I completed it 3 weeks ago, I didn’t complete it in 3 weeks 😅
Thank you so much Stefanie for sharing your pilgrimage. Every second was captivating. The love for your father is profound and also your kind heart and nature is a joy to witness. I walked the Camino in 2008 and the memories came flooding back through your lense and your words. May we all continue to walk together with this much grace and respect xx Buen Camino xx❤🤝👋 Tania from Australia
Wow, thank you so much Tania! 🙏🏼🥲 Yesss, Buen Camino for life ✨🧚🏼
Stefanie, this is a beautiful tribute to your father. Pretty sure he is looking down on you and very, very proud of you and the young woman you have grown up to be. Thank you for sharing this and letting yourself be so vulnerable and open.
😭 Thank you so much Colm! This sentiment means a lot to me and always cuts deeper coming from another father. Just saw your channel, gonna go watch now! 🥳
30 seconds in and you have me crying. Thanks for being so open and vulnerable about your experiences on the Camino and beyond. Helps me to build on my own from some years ago. Looking forward to going back and to seeing more of your work! RIP to your dad - beautiful hommage
Thank you so much Benedikt 🥹 I can’t wait to go back too ❤
Really beautiful. I'm walking the Camino this August and I'm really glad I found your documentary. Thank you for documenting and sharing...I'm sure you dad is really proud!
My gosh, the best video of the camino ever! I was crying and smiling the whole video. I'm from Astorga and I grew up seeing peregrinos coming through my city since I have memory. I'd always wondered why people did the camino because when they arrived to Astorga they were tired and injured. "Why do people like that?" --the little me always thought. Well, last year I decided to do the camino. I will start my second camino in 2 weeks, and you've remembered me all the feelings and emotions of the first one. This time will be different but I hope beautiful too and full of surprises. Thank you for being so honest and to put on the table that feel and show yourself vulnerable it's more than ok. And who knows, maybe our paths cross some day! Buen camino :)
Thank you so much for sharing your camino journey with us. Watching your video made me laugh and cry and i felt like i was with you. I walked the Northern way in April but had to cut the journey short because my partner was very unwell. My camino journey may have been cut short but that short journey gave me so much back than i anticipated. My desire to walk the full camino is still deep in my heart and watching your videos made my desire even stronger. Thank you again for sharing your journey and so sorry for your loss. Your father's phrase 'Learn to walk in the fire and not get burned' will stick to me as it resonated with me. Congratulations & Buen Camino Stefanie 🤍
Aw wow 🥹 Thank you so much for sharing this! I really think the Camino teaches us exactly what we need, just when we need it. And it will always be there for you when you’re ready to return ❤️ I hope you and your partner are doing well now. Thank you for being here. I too hope to do the Northern route some day very soon! 🤗✨
Simply beautiful, Stefanie - thank you so much for sharing this journey with us
🙏🏼 thank you for watching! ✨
Stefanie, first… sorry for your loss. I started watching your documentary and immediately got hooked up. I haven’t finished watching but I can say it’s awesome!. It’s so wonderful how you combine your reflections with the imagery, music, everything. I can’t wait to watch the end. You are an awesome human being. Your dad was probably a great person, to have raised such a great human. Keep smiling…
I’m so happy that I stumbled upon this!!! I walked the Camino Frances in July 2022 and this brought back so many memories of the towns, feelings, and people. I loved revisiting the Albergue’s. I’ve never seen a vlog that is so authentic. You express yourself well on camera! Wish I documented my Camino with this level of detail. Guess I’ll have to do it again.
Thank you so much Dan 💙 Congrats on your Camino! ✨
Hello Stefany! This video is so emotional and inspiring... I am about to walk the Camino or this autuum or next spring. My condolences to you about your Dad... Thanks to share this piece of your life with us, I am sure you inspired many people to, at least seach more about the Camino! All the best and Buen Camino!
Thank you for sharing your journey. I cried through parts of this . Your dad I am sure was with you along the way and was so very proud of you!! I hope to see more videos.
I’m 65 years old and you touched my soul. I’m not sure who the older woman you bonded with, but I hope to meet a young woman like you! I’m going on the Camino Frances beginning 4/1/24. I’m so looking forward to the spiritual adventure, meeting people from all over the world. I’ve never been to Europe believe it or not, but I believe I’m going to fall in love with Spain! Thank you so much for sharing. ❤
Ahh I love this! And that's so exciting! Wishing you the best of luck and lots of amazing people for your Camino in April 💖
Stefanie - a wonderful, wonderful record of a very personal and perhaps, universal experience. Totally inspiring - thank you!
Hi Stephanie,
Thank you for sharing your personal journey on the Camino. We really enjoyed it & it was well done! Congrats. I really didnt think I would actually watch it(I came upon your vlog actually by chance) because I saw it was +2hrs long. However, it was very interesting for us. We had done the Camino de Santiago in 2016 & it has also been one of our most memorable "vacations"! Again, thanx for the memories.....we are planning to do it again in the near future. Your Dad would be very proud of you & Im sure he was with you in spirit all "the way"
Great vlog...thanx
Glenn & Johanne. 😊
Beautiful!!! Thank you for sharing your journey and the people along with it!
Beautiful way to honor your dad in such a personal way. Thanks for sharing your journey and yourself with us. I have not yet done my Camino but am planning. Your film is inspirational.
Thank you. Your love of life and people is apparent. You connection to family and family made - your appreciation for the simple, twists, challenges and the really difficult bits is inspiring. I will be doing my first Camino in May. I’ve been watching a few videos to get a hint of what’s installed - yours really gave me the best advice yet - to be open and present to your self and all that will be in front of me.
Thank you sooooo much for sharing such wonderful, awesome experience! At my age, Im no sure I will ever be able to do the Camino....Your documentary has brought me so close to it! Im not one to seat through a movie or long film, jet it was so easy to seat and enjoy it through your young sweet sprit and fresh eyes! THANK YOU!
What a wonderful video. One of my all time favorite Camino films. Thank you so much for sharing this personal journey.
Thank you for sharing this with us, Stefanie. What a beautiful experience. I loved your honest take, emotion and candour. My father did parts of the Camino twice and I even went to Santiago with him and my son this year. We walked a few parts of the Camino throughout the North but I’m planning to come back with a friend to do the full Camino Frances. Can’t wait!
Just beautiful. You are so strong. Your Dad will have been with you each step of the way. X
I’m not even two mins in and I’ve already have tears in my eyes 🥺
Beautiful journey, thank you for taking us to walk with you. Buen Camino!!!
Thank you so much for sharing your Camino! It makes me revisit my own experience walking it and helps me to remember the important lessons i`ve learned. ❤
Sometimes...I'll go watch Camino videos to feel reconnected again...to humanity and something bigger-thanks for sharing your beautiful story-I do feel more connected, light, and grounded now =)
Wish you a buen camino on your future trips and in life!
Thank-you for sharing such a beautiful and emotional story. When you got your dad's name put on the certificate at the end, my heart wept, such a beautiful thing to do. I'm hoping to walk the Camino this year and my dad will be with me in spirit too. 🙏
GREAT! Thanks for that movie, I loved to see it. 🤗
Great footage, sounds, music and cut 😊
I was blown away by this.
You are such a pure soul. You faced your fears of the emotions that you knew you had to release, and you did it.
Be proud young lady, as all of the beautiful brave people who you met on the way.
Blessings.
🥺❤❤❤
My dad died suddenly and unexpectedly last year at the age of 65. I just found you and was enjoying your gear review, and have now subscribed. I'm sorry we have this loss in common. Beautiful journey to remember your dad. I will be doing a trip to Mt. Fuji in Japan next year, something that makes me think of my dad a lot as he loved Mt. Fuji.
Oh wow 💔 Sending you so much love. My dad was also 65, and it was also very sudden. The first year is by far the hardest. Your trip to Mt Fuji sounds incredible-I hope it’s restorative for you ❤️
This is by far my favourite Camino video and the one that best shows the friendships made on the Camino.
You are absolutely amazing and this was a brilliant film.Your dad is super proud of you!!❤
I was so pleased to stumble upon your video. Your detail to each day, your troubles and tribulations and your accomplishments were so honest with integrity and your dad must be so proud of you. Definitely the best Camino’s I have seen to date. We leave for ours on June 1st and you’ve given us so much more confidence on completing our Camino. The best to you ❤️
Beautifully done! Thanks for sharing your journey. 🤍
I was checking on some Camino videos because I want to do it someone day and I happened to stumble on your beautiful and very touching video. So much detailed information. Thank you for sharing and so sorry for your loss.
Thank you for sharing this amazing documentary. I watched the entire video, and I felt like being there. The emotions, the places, the friends you made, and the deep meaning of your trip bring me to that place. You transmit so much light and joy. Thank you so much. It's so inspiring.
Beautiful. And inspiring. I'm considering it, now. Thanks, for sharing!!
Thanks Stefanie for your wonderful video. I enjoyed every minute of it. I hope you got all you were searching for on the road to Santiago. A well produced and filmed video. Congratulations
Beautiful! Thank you for.sharing your journey.
This is an absolutely outstanding film. It's the best amateur production I've ever seen on youtube or any other platform. You have enormous talent and I really hope you can find some kind of outlet for it. I know nothing about the film/tv industry, but they have to be looking for people like you. They'd be nuts if they weren't. And yet, part of the overwhelming charm of this, is that it isn't in any way commercial. If you'd been trying to produce something to sell to an audience, it may not have worked as beautifully as it did. Its charm is its honesty. I was raised Catholic so I'd heard of the Camino. I've even been to Lourdes, which isn't far away from it, I think. I was quite moved by what goes on there. It rebuilt my respect for the religion, and the very genuine priests and nuns who've given their lives to it. I wish I had their faith, but I just don't. I really don't know what brought me to your page as I didn't consciously seek it out. But now, having seen such a magnificent film, I'm thinking that maybe one day I'll try this Camino craic. Maybe Croagh Patrick first though! God bless, and thank you for giving so much of yourself and sharing the friendships you made. 5 stars.
It seems like the connections with people, the emotions you experienced, and your spiritual reawakening were the greatest takeaways from the journey. I admire how difficult it was and that you made it to the end. Very inspiring!
Yes, exactly, well said 🤗 thank you so much!
Absolutely beautiful, thank you so much for making this film, I smiled and cried with you... I'm going to do the camino this year and am now more exited than ever :) :) thank you xx
Thank you Stefanie - your journey brought back so many lovely memories of places and the type of people you meet on the Camino. It was beautifully made and edited and a wonderful tribute to your Dad. He would be so proud ❤
Doing the Camino is on my list for sure. Loved your documentary because you focussed on your feelings and people you met along the way. Friends for life that you had to say good bye and perhaps would never ever meet again, but you'll never forget them. Thanks for sharing your feelings with us and congrats. Really amazing.
Thank you Jose! I hope you get to experience the Camino one day 💙
Wow, this was such a great documentary. Thank you. Nice job!
Thank you Stephanie you have done a great job capturing the beautiful El Camino. I did mine in 2019. I also feel repeating it at some time. I thank you as you brought me a lot of the beautiful memories.
Thank you. Something drew me to watching this, and I felt a peace about it, that I really needed. Loss of loved ones hurts so bad and I swear they are with us in things like this. For me it has been running, but I hope this can be next. Thank you again . I just feel your dad is with you in this and smiling. Thanks again.
At first, I thought I had found this video. Eventually, after many days of watching and reflecting I realize, this video has found me. In some crazy weird way I needed this. I don’t think I could find the words to say why, but I feel it. Thank you Stefanie.
OMG I finished my Camino a week ago and that man playing the guitar before Astorga is a vibe.
Hahah YES I’m so glad everyone is getting to experience him, he made my day
I walked the Camino from SJPP to Fisterra a few months before you did, and of the many Camino videos I’ve watched on RUclips before and since yours captured the experience the best by far. Watching it brings me back to so many special places and moments (and even helped me remember a few I thought I’d forgotten.) Thank you for sharing your journey!
Wow! Just Wow! Such an epic journey! Thank you for sharing your experience.
What an amazing experience! Watched the whole documentary….it was beautiful! T😊hank you again!
What an amazing video , I myself walked the Camino Frances this time last year 🤠 this video brought so many memories seeing all the different stops , along the way to Santiago thanks for you video 🙏
I just loved your film!! And you and all the people who you met along the way as your Camino family. It's ironic that I stumbled upon your film, was looking for some information on walking the Camino, because I too lost my dear father in 2022 and wanted to walk the Camino as a dedication. Can't help but think this was a sign. Thank you. Xo
I´ve watched many different Camino videos before, but I have got to say that yours just touched me in a way that the others didn´t. Keep walking the camino from now on in your life. Don´t forget the things you´ve learn there. Wish you a happy and fulfilled life.
🔥 This documentary is unlike anything I've ever seen before! It's so raw and personal, capturing the essence of the Camino de Santiago. Your tribute to your dad is truly heartwarming ❤. I'm in awe of the beauty and emotions you presented. Your journey has inspired me, and I can't wait to embark on my own Camino adventure. Thank you for sharing your story and connecting with fellow pilgrims. Buen Camino! 🚶♀🌟
Lovely documentary, and so incredibly personal. I hope that you continue to walk the Way wherever you go
I loved watching the documentary on your way to Santiago, and how you share your emotions and reflections, to finally dedicate them to your dad. I wish it was beautiful and liberating at the same time
Good Path in Life!!!, God bless you.!!!
I'm living near Fisterra and I've been receiving sings that I have to do the Camino. This video convinced me of it! I cried so many times and the energy is so real between you and all the beautiful family you gathered along the way. Thank you so much for sharing your journey with the world! I subscribed!
Hi Stefanie, just wanted to thank you for an absolutely awesome documentary on your CF…it sooo mirrored mine but you really captured so comprehensively all the magic of the many Camino moments , especially our fellow preregrinos…..and then you overplayed it with your grace, charm and beauty….can’t be there this year but felt like I just walked a bit of it this morning,thanks again❤
Great Job, Stefanie! BRAVO! BRAVO! You nailed it!
Thank you! 🤗
Thanks for your video. It is so positive in spite of the loss you were experiencing. So many videos are filled with people complaining about the long walks (not sure what they were expecting). Your story touched many lives. Stay strong. Buen Camino
Stephanie!!! I genuinely enjoyed watching and learning about your story!! It is inspiring and heartfelt!!! I commend you for going back multiple times to push yourself. You were always seeking and we're open to what is... and on the Camino you found truth and love. Creation. Friendship. Clarity. No distractions. I hope I get to connect and experience something like this in my lifetime. To take a moment to walk along side people.... nothing else matters but to enjoy the walk, adventure and everything in between the path and each other's presence....that is life. And I am so happy you got to share and remind us that the small things in life like walking and allowing things to happen invites maximum opportunities of joy.
I don't want to be presumptuous, I'm not your Dad but I am a dad and I can't imagine a better legacy than the sweet spirit that just shines form you. Wonderful video, thanks for sharing your experiences with us.
Great memories. I forgot how lovely… and hard, it was. Thank you for sharing
