An avid walker and Francophile, Jennifer Andrewes first joined a local walking group to meet people and explore the countryside while working in northern France. Thirty years later, she’s a convert to the power of walking to change your thinking – and your life.
 
Overwhelmed by the demands of career, motherhood, and daily life, Jennifer stood on a bridge, took a deep breath, and jumped. In that moment – mid-air – she realised something profound: anything is possible when you put your mind to it.
 
Later those words took on new meaning. Diagnosed with early-onset Parkinson’s, she was given blunt advice: life is short – if there’s something you want to do, don’t wait. Inspired by a story of a man who ‘walked off’ his Parkinson’s symptoms, Jennifer set out to see if she could do the same.

This book follows her incredible 1,800 km pilgrimage across France, walking two ancient routes in search of healing, clarity, and joy. Whether battling the solitude of muddy trails or conquering the heights of the Pyrenees, Jennifer’s journey is one of courage, camaraderie, and self-discovery that will resonate with readers from all walks of life.
 
Walk with Jennifer for an authentic Camino experience – and discover how a pilgrimage mindset can help you shed baggage, embrace simplicity, and find strength in every step.
