Citizens of the World: A Stoic Podcast for Curious Travelers

Have you ever felt like you’ve hit a brick wall in life? Burned out. Not sure what to do next. This happened to our guest today and she’s here to share how walking the Camino de Santiago, a 500-mile trek across Spain, helped her rediscover her spark. I’m talking to Christine Job, a business strategist and host of “Flourish in the Foreign,” a podcast that celebrates and elevates the voices Black women who are thriving abroad. Christine’s an American who’s been living in Spain for the last five years. I really loved what she has to say about how the Camino de Santiago transformed her life and what made it such a powerful experience. She also gives us advice on how to make this Spanish pilgrimage ourselves. We started chatting like old friends as soon as we got on the mics, so I don’t do a formal ‘welcome to the show…’ We just jump right into a conversation about Valencia, where Christine recently moved. Enjoy!Hello!
