What our Camino Women Are Saying about Us
Check Out Our Instagram!
Over the last few years, I was lucky to visit some beautiful destinations such as the Caribbean, Thailand, the jungles of South-East Asia, and plenty of Europe.
But Sri Lanka has my heart.
Seeing it through my son’s eyes really reminded me of that childlike wonder we tend to forget somewhere along the way.
It’s our job to keep finding it, no matter our age.

2025 was a HUGE year for us.
Our group grew to more than 500 brave hikers. Pinching myself over here!
We:
✨ launched a village-to-village trail in Northern Laos and fell in love with the kind villagers
✨ stepped off the beaten path in Fiji and explored the Highlands
✨ trekked the Lycian Way in Turkiye (the one that was designed by a woman!)
✨ hiked up an active volcano in Sumatra
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Lots of fun adventures are on our radar for next year.
2026, we’re ready for ya!

We’re planting 500 saplings in Fiji.
Pippa here with some amazing news.
This week, we got a message from the local team in Fiji, saying:
‘Vinaka vaka levu (thank you) Camino Women for joining us on this journey of giving back to the Fiji vanua (land)!!’
So, back in 2021, the Nubutuatau village committed ten hectares of grassland toward reforestation. So far, two thousand trees have been planted.
On our Fiji adventure in August, Camino Women visited the site with Dilo, one of our trekking guides (that’s her on the right).
Dilo’s the mastermind behind this project. She collects native fruit tree seeds, plants them in her nursery and nurtures them until they are ready to be repotted.
Now, five hundred more are ready to be planted within the reforestation site.
We’re so happy to be able to give back.
Vinaka vaka levu, Dilo!💛

Ever tried bog hiking?
In Estonia’s wetlands, you need ‘bog shoes’ to be able to do this special type of hike.
Our Baltics crew just tried it – and loved their bog shoes!
After a quick intro by their local guide, they put them on together, and off they were into Estonia’s bogs.
No secret corners are secret enough for Camino Women - especially with the right equipment.

‘Cong is THE BEST.’
That’s what Camino Women told me about our amazing guide in Vietnam.
‘He’s very calm and collected - nothing is a bother for him. He was very attentive to the group.’
‘He’s a beautiful mixture of professional, kind and very intuitive.’
BUT this time, Camino Women went above and beyond to show their appreciation:
‘N. even got a T-shirt made for him with a group photo of us on it.’
That’s it.
That’s the Camino Women spirit right there.
Thank you, Cong, for putting so much love into your work.

Looks like our last Campfire Chat stirred up some feels for Camino Women.
This time, we shined the spotlight on the Stans. Our local crew spoke about trekking in Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan, and a few Camino Women talked about their Tajikistan and Uzbekistan adventure.
I just got these pictures from a guest and I’m in love! Tajikistan’s nature is so beautiful.
Here’s what I wrote down on one feedback call:
‘The trekking in Tajikistan’s mountains was hands down the biggest highlight.
Secondly, diving into the glacial lakes and streams. It was so invigorating and refreshing!
Thirdly, the people. The beautiful Tajiki village people are so warm, generous, respectful and hospitable. They are blessed – not with wealth, but with sincerity and love for all.’

‘Really lucky with a great group of women – but that seems to be common. You get people with the same mindset.’
That’s what I heard a Camino Woman say after her Annapurna adventure. I just kept nodding my head throughout the Feedback Call.💛
She also said she wanted to go back to Nepal. So I’m wondering what’s next for her in 2026… maybe Upper Mustang?

One of the first-ever female travel writers loved this Japanese prefecture. Here’s my two cents.
Olivia here, back to share some awesome photos from my hike in the Tokohu region of northern Japan.
I also wanted to tell you about Isabella Bird, a 19th-century writer and explorer. She wrote about the Tohoku region in her book "Unbeaten Tracks in Japan".
Well, they still look pretty ‘unbeaten’ to me!
Part of my hikes in Japan followed Isabella’s footsteps. I can’t even imagine what it was like to travel through Japan 200 years ago.
Probably fewer crowds, right?
That can’t exactly be said for the Tohoku region. You know that feeling when you discover a new place almost no one goes to?
I was so lucky to feel that way in Japan. ♥️
I completely agree with what Isabella wrote two centuries ago: “Japan offers as much novelty perhaps as an excursion to another planet.”
Perhaps some things aren't meant to change.
What was the place where you felt like you were on ‘an excursion to another planet’?
