Shikoku 88 in Japan

I recently had an email from my Japanese friend who lives in New York. She is by far the most adventurous person that I know. She likes walking/hiking like me. That's what we have in common.

Second Camino in 2018

I've been thinking of going back to Europe to try another Camino since I came back from my first Camino in Spain this spring/summer.
