Hello beautiful people,
Thks. Ivar & the team for this beautiful site!

I'm new here. My name is Armin from Belgium. Years of many postponements for personal reasons; the flame is back starting fires. And my Camino will start in 2016 in early april in SJPP and hiking to Compostela - Finisterra. I am now retired and take my time; very slow as a snail. started with the preparations and training. I'm really looking forward to walking on the camino!!! Ultreïa!

If you are facing in the right direction, all you need to do is keep on walking. (Buddha)
Cheers,
Armin.

Welcome, but be aware that the Camino should come with a Health Warning!

It can become an obsession and somewhat addictive :eek:

Thks. Robo, but thinking it's a healthy addiction. Read your blog on your 1st Camino. Save the warm memories in your heart. Cheers.

Hi Armin and welcome to this wonderful forum. Wish you well and a Buen Camino, Peter.
 
Hi Peter,

A helpful pelegrino from my region gives me the necessary info to start the preparations of my camino.
I am very grateful to her! Many thanks and I wish you all the best.

Greetings,

Armin.
