KEY SELLING POINTS:

Foreword is by Jane Christmas, author of the internationally bestselling travel memoirs What the Psychic Told the Pilgrim: A Midlife Misadventure on Spain’s Camino de Santiago and Incontinent on the Continent: My Mother, Her Walker, and Our Grand Tour of Italy , along with And Then There Were Nuns: Adventures in a Cloistered Life .

Trail Mix offers an updated observation on what the Camino is currently like for travellers who are interested in the physical challenge without any religious tethers.

The author and her partner are NOT typical pilgrim material, as they weren’t interested in singing merrily for their pilgrim meal, sleeping communally for a month, or engaging in religious ceremonies.

This is not a travel guide. The story is humourous and practical, offering plenty of anecdotal information on when t go, how to get there, what to do, and who you’ll meet along the way.

Includes a selection of colour photographs that show the beauty of the landscape, along with the realities of what this long trek really means.

This is one of the few travel memoirs on the market that is told from the point of view of a same sex couple (SPOILER: Jules and Kim get engaged once they reach the end of the Camino!).
