Most of my friends in Hayesville and surrounding area know about Rebecca. She is the young woman, a former writing student, who came to live with me this past winter. It was a delightful time for me and she says she enjoyed being here.
Now is the time for her next adventure. She will soon be walking the Camino in Spain. That is a 500 mile trek over the Pyrennes Mountains. She has been walking and walking, getting in shape for this strenuous trip.
Rebecca has a blog, https://renaissancerebecca.wordpress.com/and she has posted of many of her experiences this past year.
She has now been offered a paycheck from a widely read website if she will post about her experiences on the Camino.
This takes me back to 2007 when I first learned about blogging in a class at the NCWN fall conference. On the stage was a man who set up a blog in order to let his mother follow his travels through India. Little did he know that his travels were also being followed by a publisher who would eventually buy the rights to these posts and publish them in a travel book.
I hope that Rebecca's deal will work out even better for her. To follow her blog, click on https://renaissancerebecca.wordpress.com/
She is a woman of perseverance, courage, and adventure. I can't wait to read her blog to see how she is handling the trip.
Put her blog on your favorite sites and follow her through her travels this year.
I saw the movie "The Way" and loved it. It's a story about four people on the Camino and how it changed them. I'll go and visit Rebecca's website. Thank you for alerting me to her adventure.
ReplyDeleteDjan, I read about a movie with Martin Sheen and the Camino. Is this the same one?
