Home again, home again, jiggity jig. So I've returned home from the Camino. I made it half way and messed up my achilles tendon. 73 euro doctor visit and two rest days later I realized I was running way low on money, so I made the decision to go home. There were other issues that contributed...
I am now in Roncevalles and I already have learned quite a few lessons on this journey. I have asthma and I did a lot of panicky last minute addons to my rucksack. That turned into a hellish first day of walking. I had to stop constantly to reach for my inhaler. I made it to Orisson, but I...

It wasn't really a panic attack, but today I am 13 days away from getting on a plane and touching down in Paris to begin the biggest adventure of my life.

Trips I take...
