Losing their 15-year-old daughter in the Pyrenees wasn't the ideal start to the Bardens' Camino.
Travelling for 12 weeks through 10 countries and walking over 1,000km with 3 kids was bound to have some challenges though.
Join Erika and her family as they navigate bustling Singaporean markets, meet family in Germany, Ireland, and America, and explore ancient Italy. Experience the highlight of their epic adventure by sharing in the peaks and plateaux of their Camino de Santiago. Marvel as they overcome sunstroke and stomach bugs, bedbugs and blisters, to appreciate life's simple pleasures: food, family and good footwear.
Let A Kiwi Camino inspire your journey of discovery.

About the Author
Raised by an Irish mum and German dad in New Zealand, Erika Barden grew up immersed in travel tales. An intrepid
traveller herself, she met fellow Kiwi Seamus in London, and he introduced her to the Camino de Santiago. Intrigued by this ancient pilgrimage, they walked the 780 km trail together as an engaged couple in 2004, vowing to return
if they ever 'worked out'. Well, they did, and they did. After almost twenty years of marriage, they trekked the Camino Frances again - this time with their three children aged 11, 13 and 15.
When not walking, writing or chauffeuring her kids around, Erika is the Managing Director of Frank Innovation and Transformation - a boutique management consultancy. She enjoys a wine (or two), tries to do Pilates, and dreams of their next family adventure.
