Hi! my name is Chris
Thank you all for your posts, it has been very helpful. My first Camino is just an idea now. I am hoping for 2023 with no firm start date.
Is there a thread where members list some of their favorite Camino podcasts, blogs, YouTubes, FindPenguins, etc? I am searching and have found a couple I enjoy. But it would be cool to get opinions on some of your favorites. I Please share your favorites, or a link to where this has been discussed. I have found I am a big fan of Nadine’s YouTubes. Efrains and Janisvlogz too. And Dan Mullins‘s podcast. Newbie/educational posts would be best.
A little about me: 57, California guy, a bit chonky, walking 4mi/day currently, have had lumbar surgery and still have random back issues occasionally, have not backpacked or taken longer hikes since I was 12, might be battling plantar fasciitis but not sure since it’s only when resting and in back not bottom of heel (seeing podiatrist next week about that), arterial sclerosis too. Looking forward to both the quiet and the fellowship. I’m assuming I will be not be coming to the Camino with any friends or family. Not religious but interested in the culture, history and architecture. Terrible at learning language. I’m assuming I’ll start at SJPDP but figure I will only get to Orisson the first night, if after 4/1 and weather permitting. I have time, so I hope to have rest days in a few different spots and keep the first few days under 20km to see how that feels. I like to avoid peak crowds and hottest season.
if you have found any good media to supplement my lurking and liking here, please reply! Thank you!
