all walks of life

this is where i document my long-distance hikes.
i’ve come to love the simplicity of spending entire days hiking across long streches of nature, landscapes, human scapes.

it all started a few years ago with a hike on the camino frances from saint-jean-pied-de-port on the french side of the pyrenes to santiago de compostela in galicia, spain. since then i try to go walkabout every now and then.
