This week, we had David Wen again on our show (back to back episodes now). Last time he shared about his life and how he ended in Europe from California.

This episode is a bit special, because instead of focusing on David's life and overall experiences, we focus on a specific event - the Camino De Santiago. It is a pilgrimage of 800 km to Santiago De Compostela in Galicia, Northern Spain. He breaks down his experience for us, such as how his daily routine looked like, things he learned during the hike, etc.

David actually documented parts of his journey and posted a video on his YouTube channel, which you can find here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NqgAzEoKl8
