...telling a friend my plan to walk the Camino. Now she wants to go with me! This is definitely something I want to do alone. I want to walk where I want, when I want. I'm happy to make friends along the way, but I don't want to have to walk/be with someone else. I did make it clear to her that this was a solo journey, so I hope that she doesn't persist in asking if she can go with me, though I think that I am pretty safe in that regard, as I don't think that she can be away from home that long.
Agree with your decision to walk alone. You'll get the full experience of meeting new friends and enjoying the good vibes of practially all peregrinos you´ll meet. Buen Camino!...telling a friend my plan to walk the Camino. Now she wants to go with me! This is definitely something I want to do alone. I want to walk where I want, when I want.

Exactly why my Husband and I take separate trips. Though we are planning to maybe next year meet in Lavacolla to walk the last KMs into SdC together.We do not walk together because we both know that we would very quickly become frustrated and irritable at our very different walking styles.
I don't think that there is any real danger that she could get her act together and actually go, which is why I told her about it.
This isn't a friend that I see on a regular basis, as we don't live close by. I actually reconnected with her a couple of years ago after an being out of touch for over a decade. I was a bit surprised at her enthusiasm for the idea, since I didn't think that it would be something that would interest her.
Well said!Walking alone = You are free.
It is your time. Your reflections. Your peace. Your silence. New friends. New perspectives. No history. Go alone.
Ha ha...I hear you Trecile. I am doing the Camino alone for a number of reasons. To each their own. But I decided that if I was going to walk 800kms, I didn't want to have to start every day with a discussion about how far we would walk that day, or where to stop to eat or sleep etc etc. From all that I have read I think the majority do the Camino for their own deeply personal experience, and I think it might be harder to have that experience travelling with someone else. But like I say...to each their own. Have a wonderful Camino...telling a friend my plan to walk the Camino. Now she wants to go with me! This is definitely something I want to do alone.

IMHO, whilst a married couple may be each other's "best friends" I think the situation with Trecile and her "friend" is very different. From the picture I will assume that they are youngish women who have many years ahead of them. So I would agree with those who recommend our OP walks this camino on her own. Buen Camino to you (marbuck) and to Trecile - joy in every step!!I am about to do my third Camino with my wife. We make a good team. I like to have her with me so we can share the adventure, point things out to each other and share a private room so I don't have to stay in a dorm.
Maybe you have been lucky??This is hard. In the 18 months since we left Madrid, she's not spoken to me once.
I knew from the outset it was a bad idea that she come too, but I stayed silent to preserve the friendship.
Didn't work.
What a bunch of hooey."You can do the Camino all alone, but it's just not the same. Happiness is meant to be shared." {The Camino Documentary}
