- Time of past OR future Camino
- Hoping, prepping, and saving for a September 2016 Camino Frances!
Hi! I'm Beth from Florida and am planning for a September 2016 Camino. I'm flipped out excited about it and wish I could leave tomorrow -- but I know I must train and save (blah blah) to get there. Here's my question - Has anyone else come across strange reactions from loved ones about embarking on your camino?
I want to talk about it constantly, but I'm finding myself holding back because the few people I've opened up to about it seem confused and almost skeptical about my ability and reasoning behind wanting to go. I'm not sure I've ever felt called to do something before, and it's difficult to express. My short term decision is just not to talk to anyone but family (and folks here) about it, even though it's constantly on my mind. This is quite counter-intuitive, since I'm usually pretty gabby about things that are going on in my life. Anyhoo. Just wondered how you guys dealt with it. Thanks in advance for your responses!
