Laura first walked the Camino del Norte and Primitivo with a student group in 2009 and returned in 2011 to re-walk the route and to complete the Camino Inglés to ensure up-to-date route information for this guidebook..
After this trip, she was excited to provide others with a similar experience and has since led student pilgrimage trips on the Camino Francés, the Camino del Norte and the Via Francigena.
She completed her first pilgrimage in 2004 on the Camino Francés as one of the students on Dave Whitson\'s initial student pilgrimage.
Laura Perazzoli graduated from John Hopkins University with a degree in Writing Seminars and currently lives in Seattle, Washington.
He has made long-distance treks in Norway on the Pilgrim Road to Nidaros, in England on the North Downs Way to Canterbury, and in Turkey on the Lycian Way, all told walking roughly 10,000 kilometers on pilgrim roads in Europe.
He made his first pilgrimage in 2002 on the Camino Francés and was inspired to return with a group of his high school students, which he did in 2004.
About the Author Dave Whitson is a high school History teacher in Portland, Oregon and a graduate of the University of Washington.
They are popular enough to offer sufficient facilities, clear waymarking and a pilgrim community, while plentiful cheap accommodation means no need to race for a bed.
As the Franc s is so popular, however, the Northern Caminos offer ideal conditions.
The Camino Franc s is often referred to as the Camino de Santiago, but it is actually, along with these Northern Caminos, part of a network of routes.
It features lots of advice including recommended gear, useful information on all available pilgrim hostels and an extensive glossary in English, Spanish and Euskera.
The guide gives stage-by-stage descriptions to all three routes, and to the Camino de Finisterre (a three-day extension route from Santiago to the west coast).
Its alternatives are the Camino Primitivo (which splits from the Norte near Oviedo for the next 355km) and the Camino Ingl s (a five-day 116km route from the city of Ferrol on the north-west coast).
The Camino del Norte is an 817km five-week coastal route from the town of Ir n, close to the French border.
