Have you ever experienced a trip that changed your perspective on life?
Today, I'm joined by Kari Gale to learn about her experience hiking 500 miles from the French border into Spain on the Camino De Santiago and the unique way she journals her travels. 
Kari is an artist specializing in capturing the narratives of journey, food, and travel through pen, ink, and watercolor. From her tiny house in Portland, Oregon, she works as an author, illustrator, and creative mentor to others who want to document their stories through journal art.
Kari's perspective on life and travel provides valuable insight for any journey, big or small. Kari shares her experience hiking the Camino De Santiago, the profound effects of documenting your travels with a paintbrush, the importance of staying curious, her commitment to minimalism, and so much more.
What have you carried home from your travels? I'd love to hear your thoughts and hope you will share them by sending me an audio message.
