A Pilgrim-Led Journey

I’m Catherine Driver, a freelance travel writer and music lover from Vancouver, Canada. 

My studies in Art History first introduced me to the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela. And since that time, many years ago, the Camino has called. My first Camino was the Francés in 2017. You could say it was life-changing as I have since gone on to spend two years teaching English in Spain.

I have travelled through Europe, North America, and the Middle East. My latest adventure (and, boy, was it an adventure) was completing the Camino Primitivo in 2024.

I have been blessed to be able to turn my passion into a career. I am currently the Vancouver content creator at Travel Lemming. And have contributed my work to Spotted by Locals, Solo Travel Society, JourneyWoman, and Travel Talk Tours. I have recently joined the team of writers and editors for the Canadian Company of Pilgrims newsletter, Pilgrim Footprints.

If you’re thinking of walking the Camino de Santiago, I know how intimidating it feels, especially if you plan to walk alone. In sharing my experiences, I hope to encourage you to take that first step on your Camino journey. Join me as I help you plan and prepare for the adventure of a lifetime.
