Orlando Sentinel 2023
'Eat, Pray Walk' is the critically-acclaimed show about an Aussie vagabond's gruelling 1,000+km journey across France & Spain on 2 feet - the Camino de Santiago - surviving 40 days of blisters, snorers & dodgy Wi-Fi in search of life's answers & free wine! Multiple award-winning comedian & storyteller Marcus Ryan faced injuries, bed-bugs, getting lost in scorching deserts and a political revolution. With a broken backpack, borrowed shoes & a sense of adventure, it's an epic true tale you'll want to hear, but glad you didn't live!
Marcus is a certified UNESCO Dual Pilgrim.
Camino De Santiago & Kumano Kodo.
Other notable treks include Everest Base Camp, Mt Kilimanjaro, Machu Picchu, Hadrian's Wall & more.
