Hello everybody!
I'm a long-time lurker, recent member of this forum. I'm planning my first ever Camino for April/May of 2019, as a college graduation present for myself. I've been working and planning for this trip for upwards of 2 years now, and I'm super excited that I'm less than a year out and it seems like it's all coming together bit by bit. It's so cool to see hard work pay off!
I've worked out what I want/need for gear and whatnot (mostly), but now I'm curious; what advice would you give a first-time pilgrim? I haven't done anything like this trip before, and it might end up being my first time on a solo trip depending on how coordinating plans work out with a close friend of mine. Al that being said, do you have any words of wisdom to share about any part of the Camino? It could be something you've heard over and over and found to be true, or something you wished somebody had told you. Any little bit of advice is appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
