An unexpected travel companion: Discovering the ukulele

Story posted March 5, 2015 in News by Zoe Shwidock


Nicole Heker knew that walking the Camino de Santiago would help her discover her path in life, but she wasn't aware she would discover her passion for the ukulele.

After losing her journal on the walk and in search of a new hobby to pass the time, Heker befriended a man who taught her the four basic chords needed to play.

Since returning to America, Heker continues to broaden her education through learning from the YouTube channel The Ukulele Guy, while combining the ukulele with her other love of singing.
