Planing my first camino.

Planing to walk camino in June 2017
Hello everyone, my name is Linards, I am 22 y/o and I am from Latvia.

I read Xoy introduction and I realized that we have a similar story :)

First time I heard of Camino de Santiago was a week ago from my friend who had seen movie "The way", he recommended it to me and I watched it and instantly after I watched the movie I knew that I want to do it.
I have always wanted to do something like that but I never knew where and how etc.
After I watched "The Way" I found this forum and did read a lot of information about Camino. I have watched about 3 documentary movies about Camino de Santiago.
And the best feeling is that never in my life nothing had called me that much as camino does. This is first time in my life that I feel 100% sure about something that I HAVE TO DO IT!
I have always started to do something but I always quit. This time there will be no quitting.
So I researched a lot of information in forum, @Walter1407 and others helped me a lot, thanks:)
Now it has been a week since I seen the movie and I did book a plain ticket to Biarritz for june 1st.
I have always been spontaneous but have never done something spontaneous like this.
I'm planing to walk from SJPdP to Santiago de Compostela.

Can't describe how excited I am about this :)

Buen Camino! I will be starting my first time on May 17th or 18th. :) I'm excited too.

I remember the time when I planned my Camino and then came the Day with big D.. I was completely entranced! The best time of my life!

Happy planning and enjoy every single step!
 
I'm starting on the other side of the Pyrenees headed towards the Camino Aragones late in May, I might run into you. Look for and old bald guy with a goatee and a Florida tan.
 
Linards, Welcome to the forum and you also Peter.. May you both have a wonderful Camino.
. Plan and prepare for the Camino and 'walk slowly into it'
I arrive in Pamplona on the night of 4th June with my granddaughter so it is quite likely the we might meet up. I look forward to that.

Buen Camino
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
Welcome to the forum Linards. As said above, planning is half the fun. Enjoy.

My nephew and I will be walking from Leon to Santiago starting late the second week of June. Maybe our paths will cross.

Buen Camino
