Hola!

My name is Hannah, I'm 25 and from the Netherlands, flying into Pamplona on the 22nd of February and taking a taxi to SJPP from there. I'm planning to start walking the next day, on the 23rd. I'm excited (although also quite nervous) about this new adventure, as I have never done anything like this before!

Buen Camino!!!!!! Walk slow, don't wear a watch - enjoy!!!!

I echo David’s comments. Walk at your own pace and chill. It will change your outlook on life forever. Buen Camino

Stay warm. You realize you'll be walking the Valcarlos Route, I'm sure.

As Anniesantiago noted you will be walking the Valcarlos route since the Napoleon route is closed in winter. For more re the Valcarlos in winter see this recent earlier post.

Please also read more re winter storms here and the links within this post.

Carpe diem and Buen camino.

Hannah - You will do fine. This will be your 1st Camino. You will be back for more. You will have tough days, but yearn for them all over again, in your future years. You will meet people who will share more with you in the 1st 5 minutes than they would their best friends at home. Such is the mystique of the Camino. It is a rewarding experience which will shape your life. Ultreia!

Hannah, you know that you will be effected by the camino-virus. And there is no vaccin or booster.

I wish you the best, enjoy and be safe.

How exciting Hannah
