\u201cAs interest in the Camino explodes worldwide, so do concerns that the essence of this ancient pilgrimage route is being lost among the crowds,\u201d Kiser says. \u201cI am to change that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Camino has changed a great deal since I first walked it in 2011,\u201d Kiser explains. \u201cIt has become more commercialized and more digital, with tour groups, Camino apps, and cell phones virtually everywhere. My intention with \u2018Before the Camino\u2019 is to highlight what makes the Camino de Santiago much more than a vacation or a bucket-list item.\u201d<\/p>\n

In \u201cBefore the Camino,\u201d readers will discover the top myths of the Camino, pilgrim etiquette, Camino traditions, and the importance of preparing mentally, as well as physically, for what is often a transformative life experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore the Camino\u201d is book # 1 in Kiser\u2019s series of pocket guides for the Camino. Book # 2, \u201cYour Inner Camino,\u201d is designed to accompany pilgrims as they walk or bike the Camino. Book # 3, \u201cAfter the Camino,\u201d details how to integrate the Camino experience into daily life at home.<\/p>\n
