New pilgrim

[cbullock]

Hi,
My name is Connie and I am planning to leave Los Angeles to walk the Camino beginning June 1. I'm quite uncertain about how to go about the whole thing. So I am guessing as I go. I will be walking alone until I meet up with someone on the trail. I plan to arrive in Madrid and make my way to St Jean Pied de Port, where I will begin walking. Honestly, I don't have much of a clue as what I am doing, plus, I speak very little Spanish. I just know that at this time in my life I need to get away and spend time talking to God, and just see me apart from everything else in my life -- introduce "me" to myself. I feel certain that this walk will enrich my life in ways I have not imagined.

Welcome Connie. You will find all you need to know on this forum if you read a lot and ask many questions. :wink:

When you say you leave on June 1 but you are incertain how to go about it, you must be rather well prepared as there is less than 3 weeks left...

In any event just listen to the little voice inside and do wathever it tells you to do... including getting a light backpack, a good pair of shoes which you will have to break soon, lightweight clothing, guide, etc..... :roll:

Buen camino Connie

Hi Connie,...welcome !!

I wish you a good Camino.....start with a positive attitude and an open frame of mind....find a walking pace that you are
comfortable with and after a day or two things will fall into place,every-
thing you need will be available,(you are not crossing the Sahara Desert!!)
You will meet lots of wonderful people and I hope you meet your inner-
self as well......Buen Camino,Les
