Welcome to Walk Pura Vida—a site dedicated to the simple pleasure and 'pura vida' of the walk. It has been, and continues to be, an incredible and humbling journey.

Status update The next major multi-day walk I have planned is for September 2023—the Prince Edward Island Walk. This is an approximately 435 mi, 30 day route around Prince Edward Island in eastern Canada. If you would like to be notified when that begins please sign up for my mailing list below. Until then I will continue to train to maintain my endurance, and lead walks in Southern California in coordination with the American Pilgrims on the Camino (APOC). In the meantime, I invite you to view my past journals.
