Descripción
Sumario:This paper is based on an autoethnographic study of travel as spiritual pilgrimage. It includes a critical analysis of literature regarding forms of Christian pilgrimage over the ages, examining how time and culture impact upon conceptions of pilgrimage. The author reflects upon her own experiences and analyses field notes collected as she travelled over a seven-week period, including an eight-day pilgrimage across St. Cuthbert's Way in the UK. Stages and themes of pilgrimage are discussed and suggestions are made as to how travel might become more like pilgrimage.
