Hi Fellow Pilgrim,
We are happy to announce that James and Angela Gehrke we will be assuming the custodianship of Camino for Good!
We are so grateful for the tremendous work the founders of this organization did to create a wonderful virtual Camino experience, and for providing so much needed support to pilgrim shelters on the Camino during the pandemic.
Thanks also for all of you who have walked virtually, shared your experiences on our Facebook community, participated in our special events and have enjoyed the community. Thanks to each one of you!
As we move forward, we hope to leverage your experience, the dedication of our founders, and our own pilgrimage experiences to continue our pilgrimage journeys together. In the coming weeks we look forward to offering new learning experiences, new Camino routes, and more conversations with pilgrimage and Camino thought leaders and writers, all while continuing to support pilgrims and the Camino through our donations.
In the meantime, we continue to offer the same Camino experience through our app. Nothing will change.

A monthly subscription buys all three.
Camino FrancésThe Camino Francés, or French Way of St. James, is the most popular of the Camino de Santiago routes. Starting in the French village St. Jean Pied de Port, you will travel over the Pyrenees, across Northern Spain and eventually arrive at the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, the reputed burial place of Apostle St. James. |
Camino del NorteCamino del Norte or Northern Way is one of the oldest ways pilgrims walked to Santiago de Compostela. It winds it way along the northern coast of Spain for almost 500 kilometers, passing through the Basque Country, Cantabria, Asturias, and Galicia. Get ready for an amazingly beautiful adventure! |
Finisterre/Muxia*Extend your Camino journey beyond Santiago to Finisterre, a small Spanish coastal town that was once believed to be the “end of the world”. This route will lead you west to Finisterre, north along the Atlantic coastline to Muxia, and finally back to Santiago to complete this loop to the End of the World and Back. |

About Angela
Angela’s first pilgrimage experience was on her honeymoon where James and Angela rode the Camino Frances. Since then, they have returned on the Camino Portuguese, as well as pilgrimages on the “Mormon Trail” and the Holy Land.
As a licensed counselor, Angela is passionate about helping and supporting individuals on their journey of self-awareness and personal growth and development.

As a therapist, her goal is to sensitively listen and help clients identify their strengths and resources, and also identify the obstacles holding them back from further growth. There are many factors that influence the way we think, feel and behave. Angela uses a compassionate, hopeful approach to help individuals process their experiences and develop adaptive ways to cope and thrive.
Angela has an undergraduate degree in Family Science and Human Development. She holds a Master of Social Work degree and is a Certified Social Worker providing therapy to individuals, couples, teens, and families. Angela has lived 10 years in Europe including England, Austria, Germany and Switzerland. She loves working on the farm in Payson, Utah, sheep, goats, and chickens, walking the dogs, cycling and pickleball.
