[QUOTE="kitz, post: 796387, member: 77273"] Hi everyone! Back in 2016, I became super interested in doing a pilgrimage, but was afraid to leave the country or be too far away from home. I live in northern Germany. At the end of my first day of walking, I was sick and confused and had to stop. I was dehydrated. I had hypothermia. I had accidentally walked an extra 8km because I got lost. My couch surfing host didn't answer his phone and I didn't have his address. One hostel had one bed free and it would have cost me 80 Euros. I was so confused from the hypothermia, I bought the wrong train ticket home twice in a row. My husband drove 4 hours in his car to come rescue me. A month later, I tried again and made it three days before getting heat stroke. I went home for two days to recover and was brought back to the path and made it five days during the third attempt. Even though I experienced dehydration, hypothermia and heat stroke, I discovered I absolutely loved walking and I loved visiting the old churches along the way. I had no idea that walking 7 hours a day could make me so happy. Today, I am in my second semester at design school. For my interaction design class, a mandatory course as part of the Basis Year, I have to design a mobile phone app in the category TRAVEL. I decided to take the topic of navigating the Camino in the northern parts of Europe where there are yellow arrows but unfortunately not yellow arrows at every single fork in the road or intersection, which is how I got lost on my first day. I had two paper maps with me marking the way and I had a book and I had my iPhone, but I still got lost. (On one part of the way, the two maps did not match.) Even though I loved my pilgrimage* and was super happy, I haven't managed to do another one since 2016. I hope in doing my research for the app I am designing, I will find myself on the Camino again soon! I would love to connect with other pilgrims living in Hamburg, Germany, who could help me brainstorm my ideas about the app design. I would also love to hear from new pilgrims who have ideas as well. Thank you for the forum, Ivar! [/QUOTE]
