Last minute jitters
Kerstin, Thank you!! This post was exactly what I needed to read, the thread has saved my day. I can relate to the jitters completely. I haven't been able to focus or be myself the past week, and I still have to wait until the 19th to fly out. I keep telling people I am in limbo-land...- Natasha Siemens

19 Years and want to walk the Camino
You can do it! My parents feel the same way, I am 23 and haven't been able to do cardio of any sort since I was in high school because of the discovery of a heart condition. I leave for my Camino on the 19th, and truth be told, haven't prepared at all, instead I look forward to struggle. I...- Natasha Siemens

Orisson: To stop or not to stop?
My travel companion and I Google-imaged Orisson. I fell in love with the idea of staying there. It is absolutely beautiful, and I fear even if she felt like going on to Roncesvalles she would be doing so without me. I can understand the conundrum with the cost, but your comfort and experience...- Natasha Siemens

I'm starting my two month Camino in late May!
A friend and I have the same mentality. We start the 21st-ish from St. Jean, mapped out to take about 40 days, with five spare days to use as needed. Good luck and enjoy! Perhaps we will cross paths as we have extended stays planned for some of the bigger cities and do no anticipate a rushed...- Natasha Siemens

Do I really have to suffer to be a 'real' pilgrim? - A Camino enthusiast's dilemma
This is absolutely stunning! I am in awe of your expression and experience! The luxury of choice is something all too many take for granted, myself included. Thank you for reminding me how lucky I am! I hope things work out for your postponed Camino! Best wishes.- Natasha Siemens

Do I really have to suffer to be a 'real' pilgrim? - A Camino enthusiast's dilemma
I think honestly (and I am speaking purely out of anticipation) what will make you a true pilgrim is the inner journey you take. It's personal not some sweeping generalization. The snoring, the hostels, the rain, the suffering, are tiny details of what will surely be a grand adventure. Why...- Natasha Siemens
