    What “baggage” do you wish you had not brought on your second Camino?

    Have no expectations ... if possible. I only do 1-week 'slots' on the Camino. My first was in 2011 & I returned every year bar 1 until Covid. I did 1 section 3 times & had different experiences each time. Don't over-plan; go with the flow & the Camino will provide. That's why everyone goes...

    Listening to music while on the camino

    Hi Rey, I love music & bring my earphones on all travels. On Camino however, I only listened when I was on a solo stretch for a while, or maybe on the last few kms when the feet were struggling & I needed to stay motivated. Early morning birdsong & chatting with fellow pilgrim's cannot be...

    Heavy burden to carry

    I'm so very sorry for your loss & that you couldn't find a resting place on that sad night. There is a saying 'you never know how strong you are, until being strong is your only choice'. You are doing this, & yes, you are being tested, but there are lessons in all our 'struggles', & they say...

    Heavy burden to carry

    There is a thing called 'Divine Timing'. As humans, we think we are 'in charge', & so we plan things accordingly. God laughs, as only He knows, & so He plans when, where, & how our life goes. You say the Camino helped you before with an emotional situation, & it will do so again. I work in...

    Is it okay to want to walk the Frances alone?

    @EL LECHERO Get rid of that 'guilt' now or you may stay home! I have a 4-year old grandson & if either my son or daughter-in-law gave each other's blessing for a 3-week 'escape', there would be no hesitation or guilt. The phrase 'gone in a flash' comes to mind! 🙃 Listen, you have a lovely...

    On the Camino: One Day at a Time, one Photo at a Time 8.0

    @mspath, your knowledge, experience, tips etc are invaluable ... so keep writing! How beautiful that you still have all those wonderful memories! I work with the elderly & a lot of them cannot remember some of their hapoy times. Please write about these 'journeys'. They are treasured...

    On the Camino: One Day at a Time, one Photo at a Time 8.0

    @mspath, yes ... it's 'interesting that we are 'called' to journeys further afield. Still, I've often said 'we meet the people we are meant to meet in life' & if they are on a path further afield ... that's where we will be called to! Maybe you need to meet them on Camino, so they can take...

    Is it okay to want to walk the Frances alone?

    You are so right Tomas! When you walk alone, your senses are alive & more in touch with what's going on around you. I love chatting to people along the way sometimes, but my favourite is meandering through a meadow alone, preferably early morning, & listening to those beautiful birds welcoming...

    @VNwalking, I just love this photo ... it's 'alive'! The colours; the setting; I can hear that water flowing ... thank you! 😇

    Is it okay to want to walk the Frances alone?

    I totally understand Jeff. On my first solo Camino, my beloved Riley had recently died, & he was obviously worried about me being on my own, so the first day, as I started out from Sarria, all these dogs kept appearing 'out of nowhere' on my trail. I had Riley's pic on a key-ring, on my...

    Is it okay to want to walk the Frances alone?

    This is so good (tho I love dogs, but on Camino, there are varying 'species'!🤨) Maybe time to write the book Jeff ... 'Tails of the Unexpected ... on Camino'! 🐶😍🐕

    Is it okay to want to walk the Frances alone?

    I have done big group, small group, bestie, partner, solo ... I did solo 3 times! Now, my journeys were just one week stints, but a week can feel like a month if you're not enjoying it! The big group was my first Camino experience & I loved it! The small group was my second Camino experience...

    Is it okay to want to walk the Frances alone?

    Oh @Stroller you need to stop being so polite & enjoy Your Camino. Next time you meet Jane or any or her cronies, look her straight in the eye, & in your best Irish accent say "pog me thoin" (pronounced poog me hone) which translates to "kiss my ass"! She probably won't have a clue what you're...

    Absolutely! Nothing like the open road ahead! On querying why I have the need to return for a 4th time to the Finisterre/Muxia route, I come across these pics from Sept '19 & I have my answers!

    Is the Camino for the poor??

    Hi Tom, thank you for your honest contribution. I have never heard of your particular 'condition', but I have to say, of all the narratives I've read from fellow Caminoers, yours really touched my soul, & I truly believe we could all learn from you. Thank you, not only for sharing your views...

    On the Camino: One Day at a Time, one Photo at a Time 8.0

    Love this @tpmchugh! As a fellow By far my favourite stretch! This is a 'snapshot' of just some of the lovely people I met on that route Aug/Sept 2019, Santiago to Finisterre/Muxia ... the people you meet on Camino are as delightful as the scenery! 😇
