The international best seller.

What would you do if you're given a €20 note in Greece with an email address scribbled on it:

  1. Spend it?
  2. Slip the suspect counterfeit bill into an enemy’s birthday card?
  3. Send an email, hoping it will lead to you finding everlasting love?

Brad, a hopeless romantic, chose the latter.

Two years later, his love life remains a disaster and his career is misfiring. As he’s about to walk Spain’s fabled Camino de Santiago to ponder some profound life changes, Brad receives a reply. Incredibly, it’s from a woman who lives on the 1000-year-old pilgrimage trail, far away from where the money first crossed his palm. She invites him to sleep..."on her house".

Hiking 900km on the Road to Santiago to a blind date with the mystery €20 woman, he meets fellow pilgrims and natives who make him believe more than ever in the kindness of the human spirit, befriends a Hungarian who speaks English in song titles and has his raison d’être revealed to him by a barefoot Mayan mystic. Will he meet his happily-ever-after along the way too?

I was eating lunch with a co-worker who was telling me about her upcoming vacation where her and her husband were going to walk the Camino. She was looking for a book she had read years ago before her first trip that she said was hilarious (not this book). The book she was looking for is no longer in print. Anyway…I came across this one and found it to be super funny, well written, and I’m now intrigued about this experience and interested in walking the Camino myself.

Hilarious and inviting

I always love hearing about the Camino and there were some quite good bits here. There wasn’t much in terms of life lessons or insights though which is strange given that that is why most people do it (and is why I am planning it for 2026). In fact, whilst there are a couple of very late bits about being more accepting and not such an opinionated so and so, this comes in the midst of a lengthy, constant, tedious and frankly weirdly obsessive moaning and complaining about “plastic pilgrims”. Zero self awareness of this lack of understanding and tolerance. No suggestion that maybe these were school children on an outing or that, maybe, most people are not as fortunate as the author and are not able to simply take 5+ weeks off. No, just negative and cruel judgmental self centeredness. Finally, I am absolutely not a PC crazed lefty at all, but the way that he talks about almost every single female he met (looks, legs, clothing, cleavage, on and on, and that’s pretty much it) is pretty depressing. Unlike the author, I had an immediate bout of sympathy for all women pilgrims who I bet have to put up with losers like that every day. In fact, that is probably my biggest take away from the book, that when I go I need to make sure that I don’t unintentionally make anyone feel uncomfortable or objectified in any away. One point which maybe (maaaaybe) could have made that feeling worse is the cringeworthy narrator, who talks throughout as if he is telling a naughty juvenile school ground joke. I wish the author had narrated it himself, maybe then some of the more offensive stuff could have been taken another way.

Ok story but shallow on insights

I have read many Camino books. This book is, by far, one of the best.

Outstanding

I love Bradley’s book. It is a very easy read and does a good job of providing a sense of what the Camino involves with interesting and entertaining anecdotes along the way. His descriptions of the the other pilgrims, he met along the way were quite vivid. He shared his own introspection in a way that was entertaining, and I found myself really hoping that he has found fulfillment in his life post Camino.

Great Camino content

It was ok as far as Camino memoirs go. Not my favorite and probably won't reread/listen again, like I have several others. The author seemed to like to make fun of people and objectify/sexualize women. I kept hoping there'd be some kind of epiphany, but the closest we get is when he is relaying a life changing conversation he'd had with someone the previous evening where he learned he needs to see the good in people, but minutes before he'd spent a lengthy time ranting and complaining and disparaging "plastic pilgrims."
I listened to the whole thing because I was hoping for some redemption, but didn't witness any.

Not my favorite

I am listening to it one more time. Love the humour, the sincerity, the play of words, the flashback stories, and so on.
Bradley writes in such a way that it seems you’re watching a movie. In fact, this book should definitely become a movie!
Excellent writer! Deserves 5⭐️

Hilarious and moving

I love books about dropping everything, throwing on a backpack, and walking until your feet are destroyed. Throw in a mystery date at the end of the road and you have a recipe for "can't stop listening".
I can't wait for his next adventure.

Where are my walking shoes

I listen to Brad's podcast and I respect him greatly. In his book, you'll watch his transition from an undirected and perhaps immature youngster to a thoughtful and insightful man.

The key: keep reading it through to the end.

Brad, after reading your book, I like you more than ever, peregrino.

Peregrinos, don't miss this one.
