I say never listen to what others say, go and find out for yourself. Sometimes people just say anything based on their own perception of an experience. That would never be yours. Buen Camino!
Hiya, i can only share with you my own experience back in 2019 when i was finally contemplating walking the way…i researched just as you did… then i thought..what did the pilgrims do back through the ages… i am an adult, was needing a really long walk and time to reflect, i and I thought how...
Interesting, i have the same question and
Relative time frame.. im thinking doing the frances again cause i am a bit injured so, will be doing it to stregthen my body.. but im over there for 90 days.. starting idk..mid october

it’s so nice to see your conversation about the Camino. I spend my time between Pittsburgh and Chicago. my first Camino was May 2019, and I am dying to go back we’re supposed to be June 8 now clearly it’s pushed out.. i’d love to meet up with the group in chicago I travel out there beginning...
The why..... the camino calls to you, solitude, reflection, the beauty of nature, silence so you can actually hear your existence, the wind, the world, your own footsteps, developing community and fellowship with pilgrims, from across the world, people with like spirits...to exist in this world...
i took a sleeping bag liner when i walked May 2019, its light, doesn't weigh much and you can use to lay on top of any sheets, and place and covers “if needed” and supplied.. in May, June.. i never was in need of covers.. buen camino
I have found music and singing to myself with Queen songs..” Don't stop my now” was my 2019 Camino theme...especially when i was by myself and walking through calf pains and blisters...listening to that album, and more specially that song and singing along to myself.. took my mind off the pain...
