Marilyne Arpin

Marilyne Arpin

At the age of 20, it was with an open plane ticket to Europe that the very first Camino began for Marilyne. With a thirst for self-discovery, the Camino has transformed her for the years to come. From 2008 to 2012, she accompanied groups of pilgrims 7 times in order to transmit the essence of the Camino. “Isolated from all the distractions of daily life, Compostela allows us to reconnect with ourselves and to empty ourselves from the whirlwind of life by allowing us to fill ourselves with the silence that the Camino offers.” With her studies in social work completed, Marilyne continued her backpacking trips where hiking continued to be at the heart of her destinations. Feeling once again the call of the Apostle James, it is with enthusiasm that she wishes to accompany pilgrims in order to lead them on this journey to the encounter of their Being.
