[QUOTE="TravellingMan22, post: 1247032, member: 110285"] I guess the central point is about meaning! I have done 3 caminos. I hugely enjoyed them. But they were individual pursuits with no meaning to anyone but me! Maybe even selfish! Contrast that taking my children to Cancun and our bonding and happiness as a family and their excitement… no contest! Similarly one of best friends took his young son to the Super Bowl this year! He’s has been to a few and is ‘hardbitten’ but he described it as one of the happiest days of this life, though he was less enamoured that his son didn’t sleep for a week before the game! So it’s more nuanced that you think. I have nomadic for 4 years. Permanent vacation if you will. But I have done far more ‘giving back’ in that time, or my travels, than any other time of my life, and I gave nothing back during my caminos. How would you unless you are a volunteer! It about you and you own agenda. As I have said I have done 3 Caminos but there was zero value to anyone but me! [/QUOTE]
