I know that some members of the Forum have found love and marriage on the Camino and I subscribe to the saying:

"If you can make what you love your job...you never have to go to work!"

I was just wondering: Have you sought...or has a job ever resulted from meeting someone on the Camino?

Or, Has your walking the Way and the experience...ever resulted in a position being offered to you.

Just asking...as my daughter likes to say.

Saludos

I was offered a 'positon' once but he was high and I think he mistook my grey hair for blond!

I was offered a job last year whilst walking the camino. I'd set out on my journey with questions like everyone. In particular I was having a hard time at work and was wondering if it was time for a change. After a few weeks I finally decided change was good. The next day I met a fellow Aussie in an albergue and she offered me a job. This has led to me working in one of the most beautiful spots in Australia doing a job I love.

Was the 'position' 'missionary' ? :shock:

I don't know of anyone who has been offered a job this way but I would bet that many have decided on new careers through doing the pilgrimage - it is a good question (and your daughter sounds sweet)

I found a great job on the camino -- it changed my entire career!
... And we am more and more providing work right on the camino for pilgrims who want earn a little money to continue on the road. Lots of work to be done, just not a whole lot of money to be made. It´s a different kind of economy.

This is kinda sorta a job..... at this very moment I am at my birthing center with a couple who I met through this forum. I met them 2 or 3 years ago and when they got pregnant, guess who got to be their midwife? She is laboring beautifully right now and I suspect we will have a little pilgrim on Easter Sunday.
I will let you know.
Peace, Love and Birth

Happy Easter,
Lillian
