“I lost my way so many times on this camino, but slowly I was realising that in each moment, on the path or far from it, I was exactly where I needed to be.”

When Amy Han sets out to walk the Portuguese Coastal Route of the Camino de Santiago—a centuries-old pilgrimage— with no sense of direction and a fear of getting lost, she carries more than just a backpack. Through smoke-filled streets, coastal villages, and crowded hostels, her 300-kilometre journey transforms into an odyssey of self-discovery.

In this intimate and lyrical memoir, Amy reveals how an ancient pilgrim path became the backdrop for her own inner journey—one of letting go, finding her voice, and learning to trust herself. As connections form with strangers-turned-friends who communicate across several languages, she discovers that sometimes getting lost is precisely how we find our way.

For anyone standing at a crossroads, anyone searching for meaning in life's journey, or anyone who has felt the pull of the Camino, this luminous account reminds us that the most profound journeys are measured not in kilometres but in the distances traveled within.
