Buen Camino

thanks for the encouragement!! this is my fist time and I believe it is better to start with someone. although I can't wait, even on my own.

Don't complicate your Camino with a stranger from the start. You will feel obligated to stay together even if you are not really compatible or have different agendas.
You will find many fellow pilgrims from the first day and will walk along in a loose group for the remainder of the adventure. Wait until you get there.

Stefania:

Most people do not walk at the same pace. Therefore, walking together is a difficult task. I believe, to get the most from your Camino, you should walk each day to your goal and be free to change along the way. Once you commit to someone else, you will find that your days walk will be dictated somewhat by their goals or injuries etc. This can lead to dissatisfaction/tension between your new mate and you.

If you are concerned about being alone do not worry. You will find/meet other Peregrino's along the way. Some you will enjoy others maybe not so much but by walking alone you can manage your own goals. Good Luck on your Camino.

Ultreya,
Joe
