    Mental Health on and AFTER the Camino

    Yes I understand exactly where you are coming from. I felt my dog in her seat next to me for many months after she past when I would take my long drives. And my Cat who traveled across country from California, evacuated during hurricanes and who died in my arms. I still feel her when I sit alone...

    Mental Health on and AFTER the Camino

    I appreciate your Candor. I am bilingual. A world traveler and know very much about my ancestral home country of Spain. And honestly I have only watched 2 ladies that have hiked the Camino. I have my gear and have backpacked several trail systems. Of course non as long as the Camino Articles I...

    Mental Health on and AFTER the Camino

    This as I just mentioned was knowledge seeking based on posts in other forums that I had read. Nothing to be meant as helping any person specifically. Curiosity. Research. Obviously structured in a way without enough questions for perspectives sake. Also Language barrier does inhibit the "Lost...

    Great to know. Wonderful

    Mental Health on and AFTER the Camino

    This thread was not about giving advice on MH...nor about being a PROFESSIONAL WALKER or PILGRAM. Nor about invoking who is better than who. No offense was intended on my behalf what-so-ever. Obviously this is a touching subject and uncomfortable for many. I am knowledge seeking from those of...

    Mental Health on and AFTER the Camino

    Thank you. I am not offended by anyone. I have walked many paths in this life and have no experience nor expectations of others fulfilling my own walk for me. I am an ER Nurse who has been in the trenches of death since 2020 and still fighting my own battle with a brain injury. I am enamored...

    Thank you so much. If I were going solo I would totally do the donativos and the rurales but my husband snores so much I don't want to make it worse for anyone else. In planning this first trip. My girlfriend and I are already talking about doing one of the northern routes in 2026. I am so...

    "Donate accordingly!" is what a pilgrim woman shared on he Vlog. When she said that I thought, "But of course I would if that was where I was staying or partaking in their offerings of food, water and the like." But I was brought up with that mind set. My father was very poor as was my mother...

    I won't be staying in many dorms either. Mostly private rooms. Preferably. And my husband snores like a lion.

    So grateful for this clarification. My brain is still healing so I do not always catch everything. Thank you so much for this perspective. I will look at this more so as to understand this.

    Announcement: Creation of the Acogida Tradicional Jacobea

    Thank you. So we'll said. I was so inspired by many who had taken this pilgrimage for that very reason. All walks of life. Rich or poor and in-between. As a nurse this has always spoken to me as journey of faith. Since surviving a stroke while at work this is more to me now. My reverence and...

    Announcement: Creation of the Acogida Tradicional Jacobea

    Same. I am only booking my plane tickets and train tickets with travel insurance through a travel agent. The rest I will be doing on my own. There is a wonderful group I was introduced to on Facebook called "CAMIGAS" for ladies who travel alone. And man do they do their research. Also if you are...

    Announcement: Creation of the Acogida Tradicional Jacobea

    I was thinking the same. Will this start a new view on who are the true pilgrams and who are not? New arguments? We each walk our own way. Futhering my understanding I believe this is more for those that have commercialized the places of stay into more of a luxury and who are taking advantage of...

    Mental Health on and AFTER the Camino

    Yes...I do have manners. I am not a hug happy wandering fool...lol. thank you for making that point. Being in my profession I usually allow the moment to take precedence and of course ask before making my intention of hugging.

    Mental Health on and AFTER the Camino

    Well worded. I am a big supporter of donations. And like to hug others and take photos with them. I enjoy their own stories and how they began taking care of pilgrams. I am joining a new start up chapter so that I can give back or pay it forward before i even do my first Camino. I am excited to...

    Mental Health on and AFTER the Camino

    I agree. Whole-heartedly. I love the mystical enchantment of the folklore for centuries past. And allowing others to express themselves as they should be. That is part of the adventure and the pilgrimage. I feel that is what this will be for me. I have no issues with speaking or allowing others...
