Welcome to Smiles on the Camino
Smiles on the Camino is connecting people from around the world who have walked along El Camino de Santiago de Compostela.
Here you will find interesting stories and photographs from Pilgrims of all walks of life, who share a common bond through the Camino.
The inspiration for Smiles on the Camino came through my own personal experience of listening to Pilgrims share their personal stories with me, initially as they passed by my family home along the Camino, and in later years as I walked my own Camino, and guided others on theirs.
Being a photographer, I was moved to take photographs of Pilgrims, and noticed the many beautiful smiles of people walking the Camino.
Stories and photographs can inspire, entertain, connect, and uplift people.
I encourage you to contribute to Smiles on the Camino, by sending in your own stories and photographs.
Together we will build a global community of Smiles on the Camino.

"Momentos del Camino" was inspired - looking through Pilgrims eyes. This is a journey exploring emotions and feelings that come to life through two simple acts of walking and shooting a camera.
