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.

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!

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!)

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!

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

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 :)

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!

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 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 🤍

I totally understand and vouch for David speech and experience about God. I remember doing the Camino at 12 yo with my family and walking from morning with no breakfast, in a very long valley with no towns or farms. I just thought "it would be nice to find someone selling biscuits on the way so that we can have breakfast" And there it goes Five minutes later a beautiful girl in rural dress comes at us with biscuits to sell... We did take a picture of her but when we had them developed once back home she wasn't in the pictures. I'm not joking. So i know what David experienced and how he felt about it. He's a great guy tho. I always recommend doing the Camino

Sorry my English writing, Stephanie. Congratulations for this so beautiful and inspiring video. In 2016 I did the camino with 2 friends. Central Portuguese camino, from Porto. It's was very good because I was lost and just after 3 days I discovered my purpose. Anyway, I did the rest of The Way to Santiago. Now I feell a new call into the Camino. But I would like to do it alone with all the stars. 2024 Wil. Be the year of the Camino from my house in alentejo (Portugal), to the north following the Yellow signs with many stars in the horizont. Buen camino.

@@StefanieHurtado I did the Camino Portuguese, I have been home in the states for two days, riding a wave of peace and gratitude. It was hard and it was hot and it was one of the best desisions of my life. I was grateful for every step. I know that if you had not made this video I would have put this off and maybe never done it. Thank you so so much. The impact it had on me was to not to put off living your dreams, tomorrow is not guaranteed. While I was gone my mom got sick and went into the hospital. When I arived home she was scheduled for a surgery that she was too week for doctors to preform it. She entered hospice today. The peace I have from my Camino is still with me , making this hard part of lifes transition easier. I want you to know that you are changing lives and not everyone takes the time to let you know it. I will aways owe you a debt I can not repay. Don't stop sharing your life you have a gift that impacts people in ways you will never know.

It's a really big deal that you were able to do this trip with your daughters. I didn't get enough time with my dad.
