^^^That's me
- Time of past OR future Camino
- Le Puy to Santiago (June 2016)
Howdy! My name is Michael and I plan on walking from Le Puy to Santiago in June, then down to Lisbon and back again, then Camino Del Norte, maybe Turonensis, etc. I'm going until my bank account is empty or my legs fall off. I'll be bringing a secret weapon though, my trusty skateboard.
Now I know what some of you might think, "Why would you carry all that extra weight? Just leave it at home." Not happening. I've traveled all around Asia with my piece of wood and it's very much an extension of myself and a passion of mine. I realize that I won't be able to use it most places, that's fine, I'm used to toting it around on my pack anyways, but the thought of cruising down the Pyrenees at dangerous speeds is a once in a lifetime chance I can't pass up. With that said, I'm looking forward to meeting whoever I come across on the Camino and if you see someone with skateboard on their pack it might very well be me.
Also any tips/suggestions/questions would be greatly appreciated. Just don't tell me to leave my board at home, please.
