Hi Camino Ky, when I left my home in Copenhagen for my first caminowalk - The
Camino Frances - in 2005, I was crying. It was 5 o'clock in the morning, I was going to the airport and I did not know anything about the camino. I did not want to go. In 2005 there was not that much information on the Internet and I did not have a clue of what was going to happen except that I would be walking a lot. When I decided to go in February 2005 it seemed like a good idea but that morning in June, when I left, I was devastated. Oh my, what had I gotten myself into? I was scared!
And what happened? I loved it. From my first minute in Spain, I meet good people, I got into the tapas, I enjoyed the walking and it was fabulous.
And now I'm planning my fourth Camino - the Camino del Norte - and I can't wait to go and I have to wait another seven months.
You have to look into yourself - are you ready for the adventure, the not knowing what is going to happen. Letting go of your comfort zone, see what happens and deal with it. Meeting wonderful people, making new friends, enjoy splendid walking maybe with a blister or two. Carrying your belongings on your back.
Maybe you are not ready yet.
Let us know what you decide. I'm curious - and if you go, let us know how your Camino goes.
The best to you.
