So you’ve got home from the Camino and been asked the question “how was it”?
I have found answering this question to be difficult. Generally people want something brief and to the point. But there are no quick answers that could do my experiences justice. If you’re talking to someone who has no direct experience of the camino, eyes can glaze over. People often just “don’t get it”.
So how to get the point across?
I know, let’s make a film based around the Camino France.
My proposal is to interview some willing participants at the start of the journey to hear about their hopes and expectations. After that, I was thinking of heading either to the Meseta or to Santiago itself to hear from a different group of people about how it all went and whether the camino delivered over and above their hopes and expectations.
Here are some questions for the beginning:
And some for the end (or towards the end)
Interested in taking part? Here’s where I’ll be:
St. John Pied de Port - 30th July until about the 1st August
Meseta (probably mainly Castrojeriz) - from 1st Aug to 4th Aug
Santiago - 4th Aug to 7th Aug
Please do get in touch if you’d like to join in
Many thanks,
Cole

Here are some questions for the beginning:
- What are you doing here?
- What are you leaving behind?
- What are you hoping for?
- What are you expecting?
- What do you want to be different when you go back
- What’s going to be difficult?
And some for the end (or towards the end)
- What have you enjoyed so far
- What has been the best experience?
- What has been difficult?
- Has it been how you expected to be?
- Have you discovered anything about yourself? Others?
- What is the beauty of the Camino
