My first Camino

Time of past OR future Camino
2019, 2024
Hi everyone, my name is Ingrid, and I’m Canadian. I’m starting my first Camino (and first long trip, and first solo trip ever) on April 24, and walking the Camino Frances.

I almost didn’t book the flights - I run my own design business and started *another* biz last year, so taking more than two weeks off can be ... difficult. Somehow everything came together (on my birthday!) a few months ago and I’ll be starting at SJPP. I hope to find time to get to Muxia or Fisterre but am quite happy to just reach Santiago de Compostela.
:)

Buen Camino. I’m leaving Boston for Paris on April 24 and then headed to St. Jean to begin the Camino. You’ll be just ahead of me! Have a wonderful Camino!
