Hi! We’re Kayla and Jordan, and apparently, at some point, we decided that walking more than 100 miles across Portugal and Spain sounded like a fun vacation. 

Starting this Friday (8/14), we’re taking on the Portuguese Coastal Camino, a 7 day journey from the Porto region to Santiago de Compostela. We’ll begin walking in Esposende and make our way through Viana do Castelo, Caminha, Vigo, Pontevedra, Caldas de Reis and Padrón before finally reaching Santiago. 

That means early mornings, long days, steep hills, unpredictable weather and more than 100 miles on foot. Our longest day will be over 20 miles, and neither of us is emotionally prepared to discuss the blister situation yet. 

But we wanted this walk to be about something much bigger than reaching Santiago. 

We’re raising money for UNICEF, an organization working in more than 190 countries and territories to protect children and help them survive and thrive. UNICEF provides children and families with essentials like clean water, nutrition, health care, vaccines, education, protection and emergency relief, often in the world’s most difficult and dangerous places. 

Every child deserves the chance to grow up healthy, safe, educated and hopeful, no matter where they were born or what circumstances they were born into. UNICEF works every day to help make that possible. 

Our goal is to turn every mile we walk into meaningful support for children around the world. 

If you’d like to join us, please consider: 

• Donating any amount. Truly, every dollar matters. 
  
• Sponsoring a mile of our walk 
  
• Sharing this fundraiser with someone who may want to support it
  
• Sending thoughts, prayers and blister-prevention advice 
  

We’ll be posting daily updates from the Camino so you can follow along with the beautiful coastal views, the towns we pass through, our progress toward Santiago and the exact moment one of us begins questioning every decision that led us here. 

We’re incredibly grateful for every donation, share and message of encouragement. Thank you for helping us make these 100+ miles mean so much more. 

Let’s walk some miles and help some kids!

With love and soon-to-be very tired feet,

Kayla & Jordan
