Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Bestselling travel writer, tech nerd, pilgrim and mentor to rising authors. Mum, grandma & adventurer.

Susan Jagannath successfully combined a passion for reading, a love of writing and a fascination for technology, to create a career in technical writing. With over 50 technical manuals (not) to her name, she finally decided to use her writing and publishing skills for herself and write and publish her own books independently.

To her mild surprise, when her very niche books went bestseller regularly, she realised she had a system that could help others write and publish as well.

As an army brat and then military wife, her life included seven different schools, three universities and a couple of emergency evacuations from conflict zones. Travel and adventure were a normal part of life.

She now believes in seizing every opportunity to have a new adventure.

Whether it’s camping on the beach in Australia, trekking in the Himalayas, kayaking in Queensland, whitewater rafting down the Ganges, or walking the Camino in Spain and Portugal, her philosophy is to connect with people and create memories for a lifetime, (and disconnect from television and computer games).

Susan is now on the next adventure of her life, reinventing retirement, helping people write their first bestseller, and learning to be an awesome grandmother.

    As a veteran of seven previous Caminos, I’m always seeking out new trails to walk. I had previously heard of the Invierno but didn’t know much about it. In 2018, we took a side trip from Ponferrada to the old Roman gold mines in Las Medulas and saw many yellow arrows and a few pilgrims afoot. I spoke to one of the pilgrims who explained more about the walk, and I was promptly interested.

    If you haven’t been to Las Medulas, you’re cheating yourself. The author wisely used a picture of Las Medulas on her cover. I hadn’t been able to find the perfect book detailing the walk until Susan wrote the Camino de Invierno. After reading it, I feel more than confident to move forward and add that walk to my future travels. It combines not only the pilgrim’s friendship and challenges along the way, but all the information needed to get cracking. Well done, Susan!

    I have never heard of the Camino d’Invierno before now, but this book has certainly piqued my interest!
    If the Camino has something to offer to you (physical challenge? To cross off a bucket-list item? To find life’s meaning and purpose? Or to immerse yourself in history, ancient architecture, and culture?) then this book will outline it. The opening chapters describe the original purpose of the Camino as well as what it means for people today.
    In the style of her other books, Susan has outlined her own journey of this Camino in an attractive descriptive fashion.
    It also contains extremely comprehensive info outlining what you need to know in preparation for the journey, as well as variations to follow depending on how many days you have to walk the Camino.
    Packed with information, this guide will be a great companion for the journey.

    The Camino De Invierno is an outstanding experiential journey for all willing to turn its pages. Being a long-distance hiker, I could really relate to Susans story line and get a sense of how awesome a hike of this magnitude can benefit all of us. If you're looking to get away and experience a little bit of what life and trail have to offer, then come and indulge in these amazing pages. Get inspired and get outside!

    My next Camino is going to be the Camino de Invierno. I love that I now have this guidebook as a resource. I would recommend this book to anyone walking the Camino de Santiago if you are looking for an alternative route for the last segment.

    The author has a wonderful writing style that flows comfortably bringing the reader along on the walk. I felt like I was walking along with her. Since I have walked the Canino de Santiago twice, I could relate to many of her experiences that brought back special memories. f am planning another Camino and this gives me the idea for a new route I had not considered. Buen Camino.

    The Camino de Invierno by Susan Jagannath is a fascinating read. The Camino is an ancient pilgrimage to the Cathedral de Santiago in Spain, the tomb of Apostle James. James and his brother John were called the sons of thunder by Jesus of Nazareth. The author, her husband, and two Hindu friends walked it, none of them especially religious but found it a fascinating walk that can transform your life.

    As well as some photos, the book gives you very practical details on how to prepare for your trip and what to do each day including choosing the length of the walk you want to take. Susan encourages you to take the enchanting journey – physical and spiritual – through the chapels, castles, and magnificent scenery. This book is an excellent way to take a virtual journey for those not able to take the physical one.

    This comprehensive guide to the Camino de Invierno brings this magical winter pilgrimage to life. Vivid descriptions transport you through stunning landscapes steeped in history. Practical details like ideal daily stages, precise distances between villages, year-round accommodation options, recommended packing lists, and key Spanish phrases equip readers to plan their own adventure. I especially appreciated the honest distances provided, vegetarian dining tips, and advice on carrying backpacks vs packing light. The beautiful photos alone are enough to ignite your wanderlust. Any armchair traveler or seasoned pilgrim will find inspiration and their next Camino read in "The Camino de Invierno." A must-have addition to your collection that promises to inform, prepare, and motivate you to discover this unique lesser-known route.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A must read for a Camino with a difference
    Reviewed in Australia on November 23, 2023

    Worried about crowds? Prefer the road less traveled by? Then this is the book for you. Best-selling author Susan Jagannath has all the information you need to plan your different Camino adventure. The Camino de Invierno, or the Winter Camino is less traveled, but no less historic, encompassing Templar castles, ancient monasteries, and Roman goldmines, all set in the spectacular Galician countryside. This book has practical tips applicable, not just to the Invierno, but to all Caminos in terms of how to prepare, what to pack, and where to stay. It also encompasses Ms Jagannath's own journey on the Winter Camino, walking in the footsteps of a thousand years of pilgrims. Traditionally, this was the path you could take when the French route was closed due to snow or inclement weather. It is one of the official traditional pilgrimage routes to Santiago de Compostela, steeped in history and lore, and open to anyone with an open mind and a compassionate heart. Written with the reassuring voice of experience, this book is a must-read if you are thinking of walking the Winter Camino, the Camino de Invierno — at any time of the year.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book on the Camino de Invierno
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 2, 2023
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    I've been curious about the Camino for years, and I've read tons of books on the Camino Francés. But I'm a solitary walker and I think it's gotten a bit too crowded for my taste in recent years. That's why I was so excited to hear about Susan's latest book on the Camino de Invierno.

    It's a different route to the classic Francés, and Susan walks it in the middle of winter. It sounds exactly like the type of Camino experience that I'm looking for. In the book, Susan provides plenty of information on how to plan your own Camino de Invierno adventure. I'm definitely thinking of booking my own trip for next winter.

    If you love books about the Camino, but you want something different, this is the book for you!

    Another great effort from the human dynamo that is Susan Jagannath.
    Susan explains and walks one through the rhyme, reason and background of the Camino de Santiago.
    Then takes us on her Advent, winter wet journey with friends and family, from Ponferrada to Santiago de Compostela. And through both the highs and lows of the walk, on this uncrowded , meditative route, she unpacks through history and travelogue, the stories of the people and places she passes through; the villages, small towns, forests and valleys.
    She has the gift of 'Bringing us with her,' as confidants on this journey on foot, ever rich in meaning. A story of friendship, endurance, and arrival - in Santiago - a place always special, whatever the weather!

    5.0 out of 5 stars An alternate guide for an alternate way
    Reviewed in Australia on November 22, 2023

    The Camino de Invierno is a less-travelled path to Santiago de Compostela. This book may encourage more people to walk it. The author’s tone is straightforward and encouraging. There are hints about preparation, covering mind and body and all the material things pilgrims often fret over. Several suggested itineraries break the journey into longer and shorter days, suiting people of varying fitness levels. Having given some preparation advice, the author shares the story of four friends from Australia and India walking the Winter Way. Each chapter begins with a coloured picture and a list of the towns the pilgrims pass through. The author paints vivid pictures that bring the Camino to life and carry us along as the pilgrims explore the region's rich history. The book also offers a different cultural lens to many of the books on the Caminos de Santiago saturating the market. This is welcome and gives people new ways of looking at an ancient pilgrim path.

    Being a 76 year old I no longer walk long distances due to arthritis. This lovely book gives me so much pleasure it’s as if I’m walking myself. Packed with information you would need to know if you are doing the walk. For me it’s reading about the walk from someone actually doing it. So much more than just reading about the geography of a the place. The real walk by real people. A very enjoyable book
