I've been waiting for this moment so long. I've learned a lot here for the past 2 months.
With butterflies in my stomach, I feel ready to face what the journey will bring. I'm ready to meet my fears as P. Coelho faced "the dog" in the Pilgrim.
I'm leaving tomorrow from New York to Paris and will arrive in St Jean on the 14th.
See you on the road!

Nice. Have fun! It'll be over before you know it. You go from "Man, someone just finished their Camino today" to "Man, someone just started their Camino today" very quickly!
 
Buen Camino!!!

Very very exciting to be starting your first Camino. Safe journey and travels along the way.

I'll be starting my first Camino in three weeks time!! Eeeeek!

Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-
You are open to whatever comes, which is good
You have butterflies, which is good

You have everything you need - Enjoy!!

Buen Camino :wink:

I am ready to tackle this and I look forward to meeting you on the Way.

Just arrived in Pamplona and staying at Casa Paderborn. It is so nice and quiet here. Not to mention hospitaleros are so welcoming!
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.

I depart on October 01!! My first time. I am so excited. I have not read extensively, but i am going with what I believe are adequate preparations: an open mind and heart, road gear, and joy, hope, and curiosity.
