What inspires you for the physical aspect of the Way?
I didn't have any physical inspirations prior to going. I knew I wanted to, that I needed to walk Camino and that was it. I did have physical trepidations as a decade before my friend had started Camino and quit the next day. I was constantly impressed with the people I saw walking every...- K_Lynn

Nervous about going alone, without my partner
I was worried I would fail my Camino from SJPdP. I had a friend years earlier that bailed after the first day and I was terrified I would suffer the same fate. I had made reservations for my first couple of nights which meant I had to be in Roncesvalles that first day of walking. I had also...- K_Lynn

Searching for a walking quote
"I like long walks, it makes my feet happy." Lucky, Animal Crossing New Horizons Not the most profound quote in the mix, but I chuckle every time Lucky says that while I am playing.- K_Lynn

Depth on the Camino?
Some people prefer to save their epiphanies for themselves, and others do not mind sharing them others. Some seem to be on a multi-city pub crawl and others on a physical challenge hike. They're all on a spiritual journey whether they know it or not. I had a few very deep conversations...- K_Lynn

How much Camiño is too much?
I'm not (or wasn't) an angry person(as in always angry), but I did get angry or at least annoyed. Since Camino I find that the things that would have made me angry now leave me feeling disappointed with whomever or whatever it is. Some might call that emotionally maturing lol. I'm curious...- K_Lynn

How much Camiño is too much?
My aches and pains disappeared as soon as I stopped walking and I was quite happy about that. I noticed afterwards that I had left my life-long rage and annoyance somewhere along the way and picked up disappointment instead. Camino changes you. It doesn't make you a better person, but it...- K_Lynn

How to tell my parents?
"I leave for Camino next Tuesday. It's a short Camino only 10 days of walking and I'll be back home on the Xth. You can reach me via xx or yy and I'll be posting updates on zzz. " I don't understand the issue. I do understand that parents worry, especially about international travel and all...- K_Lynn

LIVE from the Camino Struggling to continue
Sometimes the "amazing experience" feeling doesn't show up until after. Camino can be boring, dull, and uneventful. Hopefully not for long (multi-day) stretches. There were moments when I was very bored, and I love walking. I found cool flowers, too many gross worms and flies on the Meseta...- K_Lynn

Article in the NYT about walking and Camino
"Spring has sprung. Lace up." Wonderful article on the joys of walking. I have never had a driver's license, so I have spent my life walking (or being chauffeured about by friends, partners and strangers). People frequently tell me that I can't walk to X, because it's too far, but X is only...- K_Lynn

Is it rude to ask people why they walk
I did ask a few people why they were on Camino and received some very interesting answers, and some people asked me first. I didn't ask every person I met, but if we were walking together for a few hours the topic usually came up. I don't think it's inappropriate to ask. People will answer...- K_Lynn

A secular Camino?
I am not Christian and planning my second and third Caminos for this autumn. I do have a love of ritual and a healthy respect for those that follow a religious path. I admired chapels, churches and cathedrals along the way and attended a couple of masses, I might have attended more but it...- K_Lynn

What is your ‘grail’ camino and why?
Mozarabe is definitely on my list, we shall see if it happens. I fell in love with Seville, Cordoba and Granada when I was there in '21. The architecture was stunning and I had wanted to visit Alhambra since I first heard about it when I was a teenager. The Norte is the Camino I most want to...- K_Lynn

Honoring the Memory of a Loved One: Walking the Camino
I am very sorry for your loss. You could pick up roses or rose petals at florists in the cities you pass through, I think that would be better than bringing them from home.- K_Lynn

How did you get to the Camino (not the travel part)
I wanted to walk Camino for over 20 years. It had been soft-scheduled a couple of times and fell through due to finances. I NEEDED to go. 2020 was going to be the year, and of course Covid lol. I walked last year instead. My partner understood this and rearranged his schedule to come home at...- K_Lynn

Walking with a friend
Yes she does! We visited cousins we hadn't seen in 20 years in June. We both brought large suitcases, mine half empty so I could fill it up with rocks, shells and whatever I bought there. Hers was full to the brim on arrival. She mailed home 25kg of stuff she had bought while there (I will...- K_Lynn

Walking with a friend
lol No! She has to carry her pack and she has to leave her 12 books at home. I'm giving her a copy of Brierley's Camino Ingles as the only book she is allowed to carry, unless it's downloaded on her phone. If anything needs to be mailed it will likely be post-Camino clothes. I do appreciate...- K_Lynn

Walking with a friend
I selfishly wanted to walk my Camino alone. Not alone alone, but without anyone I knew. I felt that my first Camino needed to be experienced without any social safety nets, and as I have said before, I did not want to be responsible for anyone else's Camino Experience. I've travelled with...- K_Lynn
