From manager to pilgrim

Who are we when our roles no longer carry us?

A black suit, a full calendar and a life shaped above all by responsibility and performance. Then a successful manager steps away and sets out on the Camino del Norte – with a backpack, hiking trousers and more questions than answers.

Between rain, blisters, coastal paths, unexpected encounters and quiet moments, what once seemed self-evident begins to loosen: status, control and the feeling of always having to be needed.

DEPARTURE is an honest, self-ironic and spiritually open journey about who we are when our roles no longer carry us – and what a first step towards a freer, more conscious life can look like.

“Entertaining and inspiring at the same time.”

More than a travelogue: a personal transformation for people at life’s crossroads.
