I meant on the Camino, but I've been a victim of that call too!I got back from Spain on October 14th and my boss called me back to work even though I a allegedly retired
Well, now other people I know seem to be interested in the Camino, so I may go back and do the Frances again with themI meant on the Camino, but I've been a victim of that call too!

God willing, my next Camino will be the DelNorte in fall 2023. Originally this was for fall 2020, then Covid happened...

I love this thread, I feel a constant calling to be somewhere other than where I am, I have an amazing job which is fulfilling and very rewarding, however I have the constant need to wander! After discovering the Camino I feel I have found another home, no matter which route, it is the experience, the friends in waiting, the beauty, the realisation of the moment and that's all I need! I just wish I could carry it with me when I leave! Alas I have not yet found a way to do this so I will follow my calling back to my Camino whenever the opportunity arises!If you're not wandering the Camino now, where do you feel called to? And before anyone goes grammar gangbusters on me, it's a spiritual call, a "really want to be there now" feeling.
I get called to various places, depending on what's going on in front of me. Anyhow, at the moment, I've had a rotten day so I'm being called back to Finisterre. The end of the world. Hardest move to back to reality ever, a beautiful place. Nearly walked away from it all, but reality pulled me back in. That break did me a world of good.
How about you? I hope this thread can live, helping folks attach some emotion to the places along the way, either in anticipation or in memory of a part of our journeys. Like the lady sang, "dreaming is free."
Lovely spot, I have passed many times on my way to Banff, Lake Louise, Jasper or further afield. Enjoy! I will be hitting the mountain trails again once I return from Spain.

How about Hadrian’s wall?I was in 'The World of Maps' yesterday so have been called in so many directions! A walk in England, the Camino Frances, seriously a walk anywhere!
Feeling called to write a presentation and sorting my hundreds of pics and videos for the library of my village next month… therefore dreaming about the Camino and my next one in spring … 2 of my children whoIf you're not wandering the Camino now, where do you feel called to?

I did that to a friend last year from SJpP too ! It is a good compromise ! Many tellI'm hoping to accompany some first time pilgrims as far as Pamplona on the Camino Francés next year to give them a "push start." There are some members of my local American Pilgrims chapter that are nervous/uncomfortable about getting started on their own. I think that in those first days that I can give them the tools that they will need to finish the Camino our their own, which I think is important. Plus, I really like the freedom of being on my own on the Camino.
After Pamplona I will take a bus up to Irun or Bayonne and walk the Norte/Primitivo.
Portugal is more affordable. Menu del dia Euro 6.50, bfast 3.50 in Spain nearly double that. I walked Portuguese Coastal and Primitivo in May/June and my daily budget in Portugal was def lower.I think the Portuguese is probably next for me. I have done the Frances and the Norte/Primitivo. I really want to do another Camino this coming summer (would be my third summer in a row) - but doing a lot of home repairs right now - so I think my husband would be furious if I told him I wanted to go on the Camino again this summer. I also really want to do the Via Francigena - but I need a little more time and money for that. I would also LOVE to do the Camino from a far away distance such as from Hungary - but again - need more time and Money. a 4-5 week Camino is perfect for my current situation - and Spain seems to be the most affordable option.
Confess ! you need the moneyI got back from Spain on October 14th and my boss called me back to work even though I a allegedly retired
My wife and I walked the Primitivo route starting in Oviedo. Many walking the Del Norte route cross over at Oviedo for the Primitivo route. On reflection the Primitivo has probably been our favorite camino. It has many very hilly days, but the scenery is pretty spectacular.I'm hoping to accompany some first time pilgrims as far as Pamplona on the Camino Francés next year to give them a "push start."

Yeah, blocked some of view from the lower level, but view from our second floor is the same. Can't stop progress I guess. Human nature is that once you find a spot you love, you don't want others to build!You should ask those people to please stop building and blocking your view
For all the places "calling" me, I need at least a hundred more years. Thirty countries so far, hundred fifty to go …How about you?

I completed the CF in July, and from the day I arrived in Fisterre I’ve wanted to go back and do it all over again. Every step was special and a memory I will carry in my heart forever.If you're not wandering the Camino now, where do you feel called to?

Lisbon, on the Portuguese. Leon, on the FrancesI meant on the Camino, but I've been a victim of that call too!
Well said Tincatinker. Now those two questions of yours are quite something! The second question is possibly rhetorical…..Perhaps a pilgrim never does actually step off the road and “back”. Could open up and revisit that - but won’t!…”And when I’m off Camino? Does a Pilgrim ever step off the road?”
I was going to add that to my list, but it isn't quite as hard for me to achieve. My brother married a Peruvian, so going to Machu Picchu can be arranged through her family (apparently if you are Peruvian you get better rates and higher priority for access). I think trekking to Everest Base Camp or hitting the summit of Kilimanjaro will be harder to achieve, for me.I want to climb up to Macchu Picchu, in the Andes, before I get too old...
Great bucket list items!! Lucky enough to have done Machu Picchu, Everest Base Camp and Kilimanjaro. Yes defo try and do EBC and ‘Killie’ by the time you are 60! They are tough both physically and mentally, and carry a degree of risk because of the altitude! You can do caminos to a much later age!I was going to add that to my list, but it isn't quite as hard for me to achieve.

I think trekking to Everest Base Camp or hitting the summit of Kilimanjaro will be harder to achieve, for me.
Anyway those three are bucket list items and to be done by age 60 (so next 14 years). Although my parents did Machu Picchu at 75 in 2020, so age really is just a number.
