Recently, I went on a walking pilgrimage on the Via Francigena in Europe. It traces its roots to old Roman consular roads, and is considered one of the oldest cultural, trade and pilgrimage routes in Europe.

Via Francigena spans over 2,000km and runs across five countries: England, France, Switzerland, Italy and Vatican City. It starts in Canterbury in England and ends at St Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City.
