Almis is an avid traveller who has walked many of the traditional European trails. Making the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela in Spain inspired Almis to write Santiago – Walking the Pilgrim Path in 1999. Since then, he has published nine other books about travel, history and folklore. His book, Macquarie’s Kingdom, explores Sydney’s colonial heritage and tells the story of Lachlan Macquarie’s 12-year rule in NSW, as well as being a guide book for Sydney locals. His e-book “Camino Journeys” is a fully illustrated guide to the two most popular sections of the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. His courses are interactive and designed to give participants the practical information, inspiration and motivation to begin their own personal journeys.
