in this episode of Camino Talks, Sean from Follow The Camino is talking with Tom Friesen. Tom is a passionate Camino Walker and the coordinator of the London, Ontario chapter of the Canadian Company of Pilgrims, a non-denominational and volunteer-run association. Tom and many others work together to support Canadians interested in the pilgrimage of Santiago de Compostela.   Due to his work as a Hospitalero, Tom experienced the pure Camino lifestyle, leaving him with a rich treasury of knowledge and stories.    In this Podcast: - What is your role within the Canadian Company of Pilgrims? - What is an Albergue? Why are they important? - Are Hospitaleros people that volunteer to help out and operate these accommodations? - Why did you work on the Camino and not a trail in Canada? What is special about the Camino? - What is the Holy Year and why is it important for the Camino? - What effect does the Camino have on people? - What is your favorite memory or place of the Camino? - What is this pendant you are wearing?
