I am posting this question here because I don't know where else to put it.
I will be walking some portion of the Camino Frances in the early autumn 2013. I will only have about 3 weeks vacation. Nowhere near enough time to walk the whole way from SJPP. So I will probably start somewhere west of Leon. I will be a slow walker and don't intend to push myself beyond what I think I can reasonably do each day.
I was just reading on another thread that it is sometimes hard for someone walking alone to make friends along the way. Particularly if they did not start in SJPP. How true is this?
While I have a couple of interested family members, chances are good that I will be walking this Camino alone. I wouldn't mind it too much during the day but would enjoy socializing and being part of a group (even a small one) in the evenings.
I admit I am not the most outgoing person around but do tend to do better if I am on my own. I am not shy about coming to the aid of someone else or inviting them to sit down with me. But on the other hand I would never ask to sit with someone else or another group. I never presume I am welcome.
For those of you who made solo treks. How difficult was it to socialize when you wanted to? Or form some sort of friendships with your fellow Caminos?
