      Isobel Cunningham

      Freelance contributor

      Isobel Cunningham was born in Wales, but Montreal has been home for most of her life. Her day job, from which she is happily retired, was working as a hospital social service worker at St. Mary's Hospital. She attended the San Miguel Literary Conference in Mexico three times. She is a member of the Quebec Writers’ Federation and the Writers’ Union of Canada, and is working on her first novel, a fantasy set in post-Roman Britain.

        I first walked the Camino de Santiago at age 73. What could go wrong a second time?

        When Isobel Cunningham embarked on her second Camino de Santiago trek this year, she thought taking a shorter route would make things easier. When it didn't go as planned, she looked for other ways to find meaning in the journey.

        Moving out of a dark year

        One day, perhaps darkness will hold a final allure. For now, I am happy to walk in what sunlight I have.
