Walk with Carine on the Camino Francés
Sometimes life changes our path, but not our purpose

In 2022, Carine began walking the Camino Francés, one of the world’s most iconic pilgrimage routes. After losing vision in her left eye, and experiencing the heartbreaking loss of both her parents, a best friend, and a family member, her journey took on a far deeper meaning.
Now, from 12–28 June 2026, Carine will complete the final 258 km from Astorga to Santiago—not only as a personal milestone, but as a powerful message of hope, resilience, and remembrance.
A Journey with Purpose
Carine is the founder of Adventures for Love and a member of Retina South Africa. She is turning this deeply personal journey into an opportunity to uplift others and create awareness for individuals and families affected by retinal conditions.
This is more than just a walk—it’s a story of strength, healing, and carrying others with her every step of the way.
