Hi,
I'm Frances, 37 years old and living in the north of the Netherlands.
In daily life I take care of 4 children. The two oldest are my lovers', they are 14 and 10 years old. My own son is 8 years old and we have a foster child who is has turned in April.
It's a busy life, and besides that we live in a cohousing project where we share a lot of daily living with our neighbours. There's not much time to be alone; something that is often difficult because I do have a need for silence, meditation, introspective moments.
On the 10th of July I will get on a plane to Bilbao. From there I will take a train or bus to Burgos and from there I have almost 4 weeks to walk to Santiago.
I'm very happy to have found this forum. Actually I'm very much afraid and scared about almost everything that one can be scared about when planning a camino. It's my first one, too.
I decided to go on this camino for spiritual reasons, but more than anything I've made the decision to go for this camino to face my fears (which is a spiritual goal in itself). It helps a lot to read the stories of other people (and to see that other pilgrims are people too , and I'm not the only one who's nervous.
I'm curious if there are more people here who are going to walk from Burgos in the same period as I am. And of course I have a lot of practical questions; I'll go on reading and hope to meet you here and maybe there
