Camino Newbie • Starting March 20

[yb2971]

Hi all! I am a 23 year old who's from Washington D.C. I read about the Camino de Santiago in a fiction book over a year back. The author's powerful story (fiction adopted from the author's personal experience) stuck with me ever since.

I originally planned a 25 day trip across Europe, but decided to nix it. Instead, I decided to walk the Camino alone. I'm currently facing a few obstacles in my personal life and I hope to gain more perspective and clarity about myself as I trek with others. As I prepare for this awesome journey, I just wanted to say how excited I am to go through it with so many equally energized individuals. Will admit, I am equally nervous as I am excited. My lack of preparation (I see some individuals physically prepping for this for months) makes me a tad nervous. Nevertheless, I'm excited. Hope to see some of you there!

Welcome to the forum! Most of us were nervous when setting out on our first Camino, so you are not alone. The feeling soon passes as you take your first steps, and gives way to excitement. Although doing some training prior to going can be helpful, you have "youth" on your side and will probably do fine. As many say, the first week of walking becomes your training.

I hope your pilgrim experience will meet all of the expectations you have...and more!
Buen Camino!
