Kumano Kodo Japan
If you are like most of the world, you probably have never heard of the Kumano Kodo. I didn’t know of it either until I was introduced to the Kumano Kodo trek by friends with whom I walked the Camino de Santiago in Spain. I certainly knew where Japan was, but I had no idea where the Kii Peninsula was. However, after completing the Camino, the Kumano Kodo was certainly on my radar.
Why the Kumano Kodo?
The short, simple answer is because I can. The longer answer is to celebrate a milestone anniversary of a second chance on life. I write about my backstory in When All Balls Drop as well as in many blog posts.
