the incredible journey of wiki

the incredible journey of wiki

May 27, 2021

this is wiki. i (ale) found wiki in an abandon church in porto, portugal. it was two years ago and he was chained in the darkness and hungry for love. he was skinny and sun never reached his bed.he had to relief himself next to it! it's easy to imagine how poor he was. he was crying for love and just glimpses of sun. my stay in porto got longer and longer and i went to wikis chapel more and more. until one day when his owner was so miserable that he gave wiki away! lucky boy! we took him out and we were witnesses to his reaction to sun, to his shadow and of course he wasn't a social dog. he would bite dogs that passed him and many people too. but he was on his way to learn and discover new things. every smell was new to him and he was just collecting new information.


things happened and galicia called me back, and me and wiki and another friend started a hitch hike journey to galicia. you had to see us. two big backpacks and a dog next to a road trying our luck to catch a car. it took us 2 days and 11 car changes to arrive to galicia where wiki had his first home in a donation place on camino de santiago. wiki started with biting 10 pilgrims everyday. he even bit signe in her very first day in the house. but with the loves and cares of many wiki learned to be a friend of everyone.


he was enjoying his couch in the house until adventure called him. so me and signe took him for another hitch hike journey. 11 incredible hitch hiking and camping days to san sebastian where signe took a bus to denmark. it was so sad saying goodbye to each other and we knew we are reaching the end but in this journey we came with tne idea to find a van and live in it. signe took her bus to denmark and me and wiki started to walk camino de norte towards santiago de compostela.

we walked together for more than a month towards our home in galicia. while in the north signe was looking for vans. me, signe and wiki were universally connected sending each other positivity and good energy about creating our future together.


in the end our positive attitude worked out and signe found a gorgeous blue van and drove all the way to spain alone to meet us. and me and wiki made it all the way to france by hitchhiking to get to signe sooner (how we met? that could be another story )


and another page of wikis life started, vanlife...
