After spending his 20s traveling the world and hopping from job to job, Gabriel Schirm was lost. At 32 years old, he desperately needed to find direction and meaningful purpose in his life. With no physical training, he decided his answers were waiting for him somewhere along the historic 490-mile pilgrimage route called the Camino de Santiago in Spain.

From the physical high of crossing the Pyrenees Mountains to the mind numbing rhythm of walking through the endless wheat fields of the Meseta, the route was filled with many challenges. Accompanied by his "guru" wife, Amy, Schirm faces setbacks like bed bugs and tendinitis, all in the pursuit of elusive answers. The lessons came from the serendipitous experiences and conversations with fellow pilgrims from all over the world. Sunrises to Santiago chronicles a wondrous journey of personal growth, physical pain, and outdoor adventure while teaching us all to enjoy life's incredible journey.

Gabriel Schirm does the Camino and its past, present & future fellow travelers justice in this memoir. I loved every morsel of this book, from the Authors voice to his descriptions of The Way and the ending that feels like a beginning not only for the Author but the reader as well. It is my dream, for he past 2 yrs have felt a palpable pull to walk the Camino De Santiago and I feel gratitude to Gabriel Schirm for writing his book that brings me one step closer to my own walk. The great thing about this book is it reminds me that I can start right now on being present in the moment and to not take myself so seriously.
Thank you Gabriel and Amy for sharing your wonderful story with me. Buen Camino!

Sunrises to Santiago a beautiful and apt title.

I liked the way the story was written and the detailed descriptions of the experience and the land. I listened because I am preparing and think it will be helpful.

A Good Listen!

This guy gave me a glimpse into what to expect on the trail but his writing is average and he is rather grumpy throughout the experience. It is like listening to someone’s journal without the benefit of an editor.

Meh

Does capture quite a lot of the physical, mental and spiritual aspects of the Camino. Really, the only kink in the story is how someone that intelligent could take so long to realize that their hard 30 day limit should be "busted".

I particularly like the clear, enunciation and the sort of "staccato" narration. A little less smooth for native speakers, but I bet people that speak English as a second language will be able to understand the story with much less effort.

Quite good, especially compared to some others.

many people who walk the Camino de Santiago want to write a book about it. This is one of them.
