Rome Alone: the Book

Rome Alone is the record of my three month walk. It includes anecdotes about the 1,200 mile walk, historical and cultural background to the route and personal reflections on my inner and outer journeys.


It describes how it feels to step outside one's routine life and to "roam alone" for three months. Although the journey follows a traditional Christian pilgrimage route to Rome I hope my thoughts and experiences will connect with people of all faiths and none.

Rome Alone is an exploration of the significance and possibilities of pilgrimage in a secular age of doubt and confusion. I hope the book will be a valuable resource for anyone planning a pilgrimage and that it will inspire others to set out.
