S3 Ep 8: Pilgrim Kathy Shares How the Camino Changed Her . . . and a Few Other Interesting Stories

IS IT SAFE FOR A WOMAN TO WALK THE CAMINO ALONE? Have you thought about this, if it's safe for a woman to walk the Camino alone? Kathy wasn't wondering before she walked, but she sure found out about safety for female pilgrims on her walk across Spain on the del Norte route.

(https://alertcops.ses.mir.es/publico/alertcops/en/) Here is a question Kathy probably was wondering about: What, exactly, does "the Camino provides" mean? Have you heard that phrase? Kathy found out pretty quickly what that means. She'll tell you all about it in this episode.
