What happens when fourteen high school students trade their phones, routines, and comfort zones for over 120 kilometers of walking across northern Spain? In this special international edition of Bulldog and Friends, producer Bo Buller steps behind the microphone to share the story of leading Stevenson School students on the historic Camino de Santiago during X-Term. Through conversations recorded on the trail, students reflect on perseverance, friendship, faith, culture, silence, and the unexpected lessons that emerge one step at a time. From first-time international travelers to seasoned hikers, each student offers a unique perspective on what it means to slow down, embrace uncertainty, and discover more about themselves while walking one of the world's oldest pilgrimage routes. Their stories reveal that the Camino isn't just about reaching Santiago, it's about the growth that happens along the way. Plus, Bulldog closes the episode with a heartfelt tribute to healthcare workers whose compassion reminds us that some of life's greatest journeys happen in service to others. Whether you've walked the Camino or simply need a reminder to slow down, this episode is about discovering that the most meaningful destinations are often found between the miles.
