Dear all,
I am a 19 year old student from The Netherlands. A couple of weeks ago I found an article about the Camino de Santiago and I became really interested about it. I found a second job on the side to be able to pay for the trip, I am looking to buy the equipment and I am getting to know all there is to know about the route. It really Fascinates me. The only problem is convincing my parents, they absolutely disagree with me going there because they are 100% sure that I do not have the physical strenght to walk let's say 500 km. I disagreed with them and said I think i will be able to do this. I have been excercising and playing sports all my life and I have played squash for 2 years know (2-3 times a week). I want to go in July so I can still start walking 3 times a week next to playing squash to prepare myself more. My QUESTION to you is do you think I can physically handle the route? (since I am fit but defenitly not an experienced walker)
I would love to hear from you!
