Meet the Business Owner

Monica R.

Business Owner

Though born and raised just 20 minutes from Santiago de Compostela, Monica Rooney’s intention to make the Way pilgrimage seemed thwarted by life. She says that «for one reason or another, I could never find the right time or motivation.»

After a particularly trying few years that included a bout with cancer and the loss of both parents, she found her resolve to walk the Camino. For her, the journey represented a release for grief and triumph over her disease.

Once making the journey, Monica knew she had to help others experience the Santiago’s magic and enlightenment. She is meticulous in her efforts to provide travelers a wholesome, organic and spiritual experience where travelers move back in time and forget their troubles of today.

Monica holds a degree in Tourism Administration from Madrid, Spain and a degree in International Business from San Francisco State University, adeptly accommodating guests from throughout the world.
