    Today is the first day of the rest of my life!

    I've unfortunatly come to the decision to go home. Still feeling bad, time is running short and an old back injury keeps saying hello. It really sucks, but i will be back stronger and more prepared next time. If my journey will start in León or Saint Jean Pied de Port next time, I dont know...

    Today is the first day of the rest of my life!

    I am currently in León at the moment. The third day here. Been feeling bit sick, but today I feel good, just low on energy. Should continue walking tomorrow. Lost all of the people I've been walking with or meeting at albergues. And I find León too big to find some new people as I am currently...

    Today is the first day of the rest of my life!

    Currently sitting on the train to Bayonne. Had an amazing time in Paris yesterday. And finally met the two people I am walking with for the first time. So amazing people! So excited now, and can't wait to start walking :D

    Today is the first day of the rest of my life!

    I am super nervous now! Leaving to go to the airport in 7 hours. This day has been so weird. My mind has been all over, not been able to concentrate at all. I feel so unprepared, but atleast I got my backpack down from 18kg to 13kg. Then the brand new backpack broke, so I had the find another...

    Backpack weight

    Just repacked and went through everything. I was really surprised what I packed the first time, and how much I packed. I even added a few things I was missing. When I checked my backpack now, it was only 9,4kg. There was a huge difference between need and want. Also brought some items that is...

    Backpack weight

    I see all these posts about not carrying to much in your backpack. Keep the weight down. 10% of bodyweight and so on. Today, I tried to fill my backpack up till it felt a bit uncomfortable, when I checked the weight, I was at 27kg in the backpack. I am not a small person, and when I packed most...

    Today is the first day of the rest of my life!

    The time goes so slow, but still so fast. Hard to explain all the feelings and excitement in my body now. Travelling to Paris in just a bit over 2 weeks, in a way, I feel unprepared, even tho I have packed my backpack and removed the stuff I don't need. I haven't been able to walk as much as I...

    Well, we norwegians are vikings. Tho, not so sure about people from Oslo? :p How long have you planned that you will spend? I have booked a plane from Madrid 22 April. So hopefully, I will finish in around 30ish days.

    Today is the first day of the rest of my life!

    I hear everyone talking about a part of the camino which is, what did he call it, flat and lonely? I worry a bit about that, as I am walking at a time when it doesnt seem to be that many walking. Also, i have around 30-32 days to finish. Is that plenty of time, or will i end up rushing a lot...

    Today is the first day of the rest of my life!

    In a way, I want to learn the hard way. Not saying the impossible way, but hopefully this won't be my last trip, and next time, I will have more experience.

    Today is the first day of the rest of my life!

    I have enjoyed the planning so much till now! It's super exciting :D It is so weird, because I think that I never have looked so much forward to something before. Soon , I'll start counting seconds left untill the day I get on the plane to Paris! :rolleyes:

    Today is the first day of the rest of my life!

    Maybe I have to add then, I dont(rarely) drink alcohol. Maybe just a beer or two in good company or for food, but other than that, I dont drink :)

    Sure hope I won't need 15kg of equipment :eek: Was just for testing purposes. I think I end up at around 7-8kg.

    Today is the first day of the rest of my life!

    Reason I bought the 75L backpack, was because when I tested it in the store, with 15kg, it felt much better on my back than the other backpacks I tried with same weight. I have a 38L backpack aswell, and if all fits in that, I will consider bringing that instead! And if all feels hopeless, I...

    Today is the first day of the rest of my life!

    I have considered to write a diary on the trip, but have not decided what to do with it. I have bought a 75L backpack, but that is just because I want the space, not because I want to fill it up. I am going down the line of NEED or WANT, most items that is want will be left at home. I have...

    Today is the first day of the rest of my life!

    Hello everyone. My name is Glenn Petter, I am 25 years of age and I am from Norway. To be completely honest, I am lazy, I lack discipline and I feel imprisoned by myself, my mind. It is weird, but less than a week ago, I had never heard about El Camino or even Santiago de Compostela. I was...
