Fantasy or reality??

Guest
Many many reasons, some personal, for wanting to do this pilgrimage walk.

Escapism is one of them..."Tahiti" or "Paradise" Syndrome

Background: Canadian citizen with extensive travel and cultural exposure....easily adapt to any situation or environment with no complaints...

One of my daydream thoughts for when I get to doing the pilgrimage is, I may not finish it...I may end up at a location that not only feels right, feels like home, with coincidentally a local inn/restaurant etc. needing extra help for a few days, I stay and assist, and am asked to stay and help run the place with the cooking and maintenance...

Not much left here at home to return to anyway...

Fantasy? Possibe? Happened? Impossible? Could be?
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
You only get 90 days for either fantasy or reality (without a Schengen visa), but you won't know until you do it!
 
:D That would be my hope/wish as well! Good luck- and if you find a job there, please hire me!
