July (2016)
Hi, my name is Susan. I'm from Phoenix, Arizona, USA. I am planning my first Camino for July, 2016. I will only be walking a small section. This trip is a present to myself for my 50th birthday. This trip will be many firsts; my first trip to Europe, my first train ride, and my first pilgrimage. My husband will join me....if he ever gets his passport :cool:. We are seasoned hikers, hiking some of the most beautiful parts of the Southwest United States. So I'm excited and scared to get out of my comfort zone to visit Western France and Spain.
I'm interested to meet up with anyone traveling around the same time.
Graciously,
SusanPhoenix

Hi Susan, welcome to the Forum and congratulations on your 50th. What a wonderful present!
If you have questions regarding your Camino then the Forum is the right place to search. You will find lots of information and friendly, helpful people here on the Forum. You do not mention which Camino, you will walk. Where do you plan to start? If you walk the Frances out of Saint-Jean-de-Pie-de-Port you will meet lots of people already on the first day. I've read somewhere that at the height of Summer, hundreds of walkers leave SJPP every day.
You can have a look at the Forums Calender and sign yourself in. In the Calender you can see if other people have the same starting point and time as you. But do not worry, you will meet so many other walkers doing the Camino.
Buen Camino to you.

Buen Camino...
