Vertex Voyages

The Road to Transformation

Welcome to Vertex Voyages.

I am Steven Huysseune, founder of Vertex Voyages and I believe that the most trans-formative journeys are those that cover miles while also leading deep within.

My Story: Born on the Camino to Santiago

Vertex Voyages was born from a profound personal experience. I learned the true meaning of resilience and letting go not in a classroom, but on the world's trails.

After walking the Camino to Santiago countless times—and completing epic treks like the Appalachian Trail—a simple truth became undeniable: the journey is the ultimate metaphor for life. The solitude, the physical struggle, the commitment to minimalism, and the constant necessity of shedding unnecessary baggage inevitably lead to fundamental and lasting insights.

This focus on adventure was amplified by a period of significant change in my own life. My divorce and the strong drive for self-improvement led me to follow many self-help workshops. The most surprising realisation? The essential lessons—about resilience, acceptance, and inner peace—were the exact same ones I gained after long days of walking, with my feet in the mud and my head in the clouds.

I realised I had to share this powerful combination with others.

The Power of Pilgrimage

This is why Vertex Voyages is unique. To start, I am focusing primarily on the Camino and related soul-stirring adventures. These routes are the perfect setting to combine physical challenge with mental reflection.

I offer you the best of both worlds, packaged into a single, comprehensive experience:

The Adventure: Carefully selected and organized package tours (sold through my trusted third-party partners), ensuring you can fully focus on your walk.
The Insight: Integrated self-help workshops that I develop myself, delivered before, during, and after the trip, ensuring that the lessons of the trail don't fade once you return home.
