Nicole Bukaty is a secondary school French and Spanish teacher in Crieff, Scotland. Originally from Kraków, Poland, she grew up in London and France and has lived in Colombia, Spain and Russia. She has a BA Joint Honours degree in Philosophy and Hispanic Studies and an MA in Philosophy, both from King's College, London. On weekends she's usually up the Scottish hills or writing away in the local library. She obsessively uses up her holidays to walk, totalling just over 7000km on long-distance paths so far, predominantly pilgrimages. She has even completed the 450km route from her mother's house in Ilawa, Poland to the Polish monastery of Jasna Góra in Czestochowa. She is the author of the Vía de la Plata and Camino Sanabrés guidebook for Cicerone. Currently, co-authoring with Sandy Brown, she is immersed in writing the Via Francigena in the South of Italy guidebook also for Cicerone.
