The purpose of dividing into smaller groups is to reach out and experience the true camino like pilgrims from the past, and not travel together in a large group.
The experiences and stories will have more range and diversity.

Howdy, I'm an incoming senior at UNF studying History with minors in Environmental Studies and Creative Writing. I was born in New York, moved to Tokyo when I was six, and then moved to Daytona Beach when I was ten, where I endured the hardships of beachside life (i.e. lame tourists). Been to a few countries but never like this. After the trip I'll be going to Germany for a week because why not.

Corey Jones
I am a Religious Studies major at UNF who loves hiking and studying the different religious experiences that people have. The Camino is a unique experience that affects everyone differently and powerfully and I am excited to really delve into it and understand it better.

Hello everyone! I am an International Studies major, minoring in Anthropology (however it looks like that might changed to be a double major really soon). I'm leaving to Amsterdam and then I will be in Ibiza before our study abroad so if you do not see me on blackboard for the next two weeks, it's because of Ibiza. See you soon!
