The Journey Within: A Journal for Camino de Santiago Paperback – June 29, 2023

This journal was my constant companion as I walked the Camino Frances last fall. At first I wondered if it would be big enough for all my thoughts, but it turned out to be perfect! The prompts keep you focused and intentional and really help you go deep into your reflections. Believe me, you will not regret taking the time to write down your insights, feelings, experiences. It helps to reflect back when you get home. Better than any souvenir that you could have purchased along the way. I carried my journal in my hip pack along with my pilgrims passport and passport in a ziplock bag so it stayed dry and was accessible whenever I needed to jot down a thought or observation. Caminotellers, Ricky and Erica, are truly authentic people with huge hearts for others. Their journal carries that spirit and helps any pilgrim experience their own unique journey with deep awareness and intention.

I am planning to walk the Camino Frances this year and came across this journal doing a search on the Camino. I was curious what other people are hoping to get out of their Camino, and thought this little book might be helpful.This book delivers! Some of the chapter headings tell you what is addressed: expectations, fears, intention setting, simplicity, the journey within, courage and self-empowerment, freedom, limiting beliefs, effort, openness, boundaries, vulnerability, restless mind, acceptance, surrender, resilience, who are you, self care, growth mindset, slowing down, gratitude, mindfulness, the art of giving, silence, joy, nurturing your inner child, non judgement, inspiration, threshold to the new you, letting go, inner peace, the mind body connection, spirit, balance, empathy, compassion, humbleness, trust.So, yes, I got a few ideas!The book is small so it can easily be taken along, and each chapter has empty space for writing down reflections.I think this should be included in everyone’s preparation for the Camino as there is so much to be gained from the experience and this little book serves as a comprehensive framework for the journey.Well done Caminotellers!

Very nice little journal for the camino! Lightweight so perfect to bring with you. I've been watching the Caminotellers on YouTube and got motivated to buy this journal for my first camino in 2026. It has plenty reflective questions to use during your journey. Love it already!

Wonderful companion as I walked the Camino de Santiago! Insightful prompts to help me process the experience and grow deeper as a person.

This is a very small booklet. It's mainly meant for the purchaser to fill in their thoughts. I like it but for what it is I believe it's way overpriced. Taken advantage of those looking for a spiritual journey.

My wife and I each bought a copy of this book in preparation for our hike across the Camino Frances It is compact, making it easy to carry on the hike. The Camino Tellers put a lot of thought into the content so it is a helpful guide to the “inner experience” of preparing, hiking, and reflecting on a Camino journey. This book is well worth the price.

A well-thought-out journal that I found an invaluable companion on my Camino trip in the fall of 2024. It contains thought provoking questions and discussions, laid out by a couple of experienced pilgrims (Ricky and Erica) who have made this journey (and others!) enough times to be able to guide the rest of us. I bought several copies and gave them to the members of my party who also enjoyed it.

The Journey Within is your guide to self actualization, which is the ‘inside job’ our souls tirelessly work towards and what matters most. Buen Camino!
