I think that the pilgrim/pilgrimage is not so much about where one is going .
(probably need a destination of a sacred place/cultural site/ historical site or may be to a place of natural beauty)
But it's more about the personal journey of the wanderer,wayfarer, traveller,...the camino-er
Happy trails pilgrim
