Kurt Koontz thought he was well prepared for his 490-mile walking trip on the historic Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route in Spain. He was fit and strong. He had a good guidebook and all the right equipment. His pilgrim passport would grant him access to the shelter of hostels along the way. But all that, however helpful, did not begin to encompass the grandeur of his external or internal adventure. A Million Steps climbs over the high meadows of the Pyrenees, quests through the unceasing wind of the Meseta, and dances in the rains of Galicia. While following the yellow arrows that mark the route, Koontz also navigates through his personal history of addiction, recovery, and love. With outgoing humor and friendliness, he embraces the beauty of the countryside and joyful connections to other pilgrims from around the world. Part diary, part travelogue, A Million Steps is a journey within a journey all the way to the Cathedral de Santiago de Compostela and beyond.

The most famous long-distance hiking trail in North America, the 2,181-mile Appalachian Trail—the longest hiking-only footpath in the world—runs along the Appalachian mountain range from Georgia to Maine. Every year about 2,000 individuals attempt to “thru-hike” the entire trail, a feat equivalent to hiking Mount Everest sixteen times. In Walking on the Wild Side, sociologist Kristi M. Fondren traces the stories of forty-six men and women who, for their own personal reasons, set out to conquer America’s most well known, and arguably most social, long-distance hiking trail. In this fascinating in-depth study, Fondren shows how, once out on the trail, this unique subculture of hikers lives mostly in isolation, with their own way of acting, talking, and thinking; their own vocabulary; their own activities and interests; and their own conception of what is significant in life. They tend to be self-disciplined, have an unwavering trust in complete strangers, embrace a life of poverty, and reject modern-day institutions. The volume illuminates the intense social intimacy and bonding that forms among long-distance hikers as they collectively construct a long-distance hiker identity. Fondren describes how long-distance hikers develop a trail persona, underscoring how important a sense of place can be to our identity, and to our sense of who we are. Indeed, the author adds a new dimension to our understanding of the nature of identity in general. Anyone who has hiked—or has ever dreamed of hiking—the Appalachian Trail will find this volume fascinating. Walking on the Wild Side captures a community for whom the trail is a sacred place, a place to which they have become attached, socially, emotionally, and spiritually.

In the emerging field of transformative tourism, life-changing outcomes of travel experiences are often implied and sometimes overtly offered in the marketing of products. However, these claims are not usually based on rigorous or comprehensive research, and the longevity and degree of personal change is rarely examined. To a large extent, current knowledge of travel which contributes to changes in attitudes, values and behaviours is based on research involving young adults in organised educational and volunteer settings.In this study a range of personal changes portrayed by mid-life adults following personally significant experiences on long-distance walks has been explored incorporating elements of triangulation and longitudinal research. By focusing on lived experiences, the study has been opened to a variety of perceived effects. The nature and extent of profound and enduring change have been mapped against domains of life, and the resulting spectrum has been characterised as Significant Personal Change (SPC).The study uses a relatively recent form of hermeneutic phenomenology known as Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), which to date has only occasionally been applied to the field of tourism. Developed in psychology, and increasingly used elsewhere in the human sciences, IPA lends itself to studies of lived experience and meaning-making. Content, narrative and thematic analysis have been used in order to explore individual experiences and personal change, and to seek patterns of effects across cases.Several complementary perspectives have emerged which help to structure the vast range of individual variations within the spectrum of SPC. Some patterns of personal change appear to relate to well-established stage-based processes which typically occur over extended periods and may conform to common cultural scripts. Claims of sudden or epiphanic change often seem to arise within relevant individuals' explanatory narratives, reflecting moments of personal insight rather than necessarily describing abrupt life changes. Long-distance walking can also facilitate different steps in stage-based processes, particularly by enhancing confidence, optimism and self-efficacy.A perception of enhanced well-being through long-distance walking has been noted by other researchers, and this study has extended these findings by relating long-distance walking to potential gains in the distinct elements of well-being proposed by leaders in the field of positive psychology. In particular, deep engagement emerges as a central process in enhancing well-being, with engagement in the task of walking often generating a sense of achievement, engagement with other people developing relationships, and engagement with the context or setting of a walk promoting a sense of meaning in life.In this study personal transformation has emerged as an extreme form of significant personal change, but not as a singular phenomenon. Instead, three distinct modes have been identified: therapeutic, adaptive and induced SPC. Each mode has a different profile of underlying intention, experience, process and outcome. The study supports the contention derived from a review of relevant literature that change in an individual's self-perception is a necessary element common to personal transformation and other forms of SPC. It has also helped de-mystify personal change through travel, and clarified what counts as transformation for adults in mid-life. Different views of transformation are linked to the three modes of significant personal change.
