What if the most powerful part of your journey wasn't the miles-but the smiles?
After completing the 2,190-mile Appalachian Trail, Jeff Peterson-aka Just Pete-set out for Europe in search of more miles. What he found along the Camino de Santiago was something much greater.
In It's Just sMiles, Pete takes on an 820-mile pilgrimage through Spain and Portugal, armed with a backpack, a camera, and an open heart. But this isn't just a story about walking-it's about what happens along the way: the people, the places, and the power of a simple smile to bridge language, culture, and distance.
With humor, honesty, and heartfelt insight, Pete brings readers along for the mishaps, memories, and magical moments that transform a solo trek into something unforgettable.
Whether sharing a beer with strangers, bushwhacking through overgrown terrain, or fumbling through a foreign menu, he celebrates the beauty of being fully present-and the quiet magic found in small connections.
Whether you're a hiker, a dreamer, or just someone in need of a good story, you'll find something here to carry with you.
More than a travel memoir, It's Just sMiles is a warm, witty reminder that we're all on a pilgrimage. It's called life. And sometimes, the best way to move forward... is with a smile.
