We’re the DeCou’s and we love the Camino.
We started this website to document our experience walking the Camino with our little ones and to share resources that inspire other parents to journey themselves.
In the fall of 2017, we completed the 500-mile Camino Frances with our then 1-year old son Hudson. In 2019, we set out with Kristin’s mom (Grandma Holly) and our two children, Hudson (3) and Kalea (1) on the 150-mile Camino Portuguese route from Porto, Portugal to Santiago de Compostela, Spain. The Camino has been one of the most defining experiences for our family, and as of 2020, our intention is to return every other year to hike a new route or revisit a favorite.

Our intention and heart is that this is a tribute to the Camino – the unique joys and challenges of what makes this a path of self-discovery and what unites us to other pilgrims who have traveled before us and will come after us.
Ultreia and Buen Camino!
Kristin + Rob
