- Time of past OR future Camino
- May 1997 (Leon to Santiago); Sections Camino Frances: May 2011, May 2012, May 2013, October 2013, June-July 2014 (Sahagun to Santiago).
As you can read from my profile, I have been in the Camino Frances many times since 1997-- more repeatedly since 2011. I always, but once, walked by myself, often times many, many kms in isolated areas. Never much of a fear...until Denise Thiem's tragedy.
I want to do another Camino, but feel a lot of trepidation and fear to walk by myself. To make this a worse dilemma, I love to do the Camino solo and don't think I would enjoyed as much with permanent company (I do love the temporary, sporadic, Camino companions).
Any thoughts? What Camino would you choose next given the above? Any tips to somewhat mitigate this new fear?
