Hello Imans - I completely understand what you are saying and have the same feelings. I wish you well and the peace you need -
I read through most of the replies, and didn’t see this anywhere so here’s one more thought for you: simply learn to gracefully say “today I’d prefer to walk alone”. I have walked 6 caminos and I have developed lifelong friends all over the...

Trekker One replied to the thread The one thing I should have done before I left for the Camino.Wishing I had worried less before departing on my first Camino about things that were largely beyond my control anyway. I had no real issues on my first Camino or on the subsequent six walks either. It all tends to work out.

That was me in 2000 after my first Camino at age 50. Then after my second Camino in 2002, I had that same lightbulb moment – why not keep the level of fitness up? Now at age 73, I am so glad to have done that. I have many friends my age who tell...
