It's not my first camino, nor even my second, but I know that it will be a magical journey, as you say, and something to remember forever! Thank you!You are in for a magical journey, saver it and go with the flow, the camino has so much to offer.
I don't know if you've had a 'squee' moment. It's what I call that magical time when you realise that your plans are getting very close to fruition. I live in Burma (aka Myanmar), and life has not been pleasant here for the past 3 years, since the latest military coup. I've also been working without a break for the past two or three years, because I had nowhere to go. The saved holiday, and the saved pay, means that I've got the best part of three months to wander caminos in Spain, something I haven't done for at least 13 years. I think I've been working towards it so doggedly that I have never stepped back to smell the roses. On Friday, I fly to Rangoon, to pick up all the pay packets I've been saving. On Monday, it's on to Bangkok, and on Tuesday to London. Within the next week, I expect to be on my way. It's only just hit me - so close now. I'm so happy that the only thing I can do is hug myself and utter the incomprehensible 'squee'!
I got into the habit of blogging on the crazyguyonabike forum when I did two of my Via Turonensis trips by bike, so I will definitely try to produce a 'Live from the Camino' thread here, since I so enjoy reading them myself! Thank you for your good wishes!Takahiwai,
Hopefully you will share your newest journey here on the forum. It would be a pleasure to read/see your updates and pictures
Good luck, stay safe, Carpe diem and, as always, Ultreia!
Many thanks for your good wishes!Have a marvelous time.
Buen camino.
That's it - you've got it! Thank you!SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Buen Camino!
Thank you!wooooohooooo!!!!
It is very hard to forget the wonderful people of Myanmar - present admin excluded, of course. I also first came to Myanmar in 2016, so there's a coincidence. It would be lovely to meet you, should our paths cross in Spain!Our paths may cross, we will be in Spain from mid April. We worked for the Australian Volunteers International in Yangon from 2016 to 2017 and have bittersweet memories of a beautiful country and people.
Many thanks!Safe journey and Buen camino!
I am notorious for my ability to find an excuse to stop in every single bar or cafe along the way! In fact, when I did my partial reverse camino (SdC back to Burgos, then ran out of time), I was sometimes able to reassure myself that I was going the right way by revisiting bars that I'd gone to on my way to SdC. I'd learnt such a lot of Spanish on the way there, that it was good to be able to answer questions that I hadn't understood the first time round!Thanks for a great preliminary notification. Yes definitely stop and smell the roses and anything else along the way. Have that extra coffee in a bar that welcomes you, check out the views along the road. Cheers
Thank you! I will try to put up a 'live' thread, and maintain it, internet permitting - I enjoy writing up my stages at the end of the day - it helps me relax.Wow! You have been through a lot! Squee!!!! E
Enjoy a well deserved Camino. And please keep us up to date on your travels!
Muchas gracias, muchas veces!Buena suerte, and Buen Camino.

Thank you, and I hope your Mozarabe experience is wonderful. It certainly looks like a lovely route!I'm just 12 days away from my 4th Camino and "squee" is certainly part of me at the moment. Enjoy your return to the Camino and please let us know where your travels take you. Buen camino.
Thank you - I'll be looking out for those flowers and butterflies!Buen camino!
If emigration interests you, there are countries that it’s not super hard to get into. Web search for “digital nomad visa"… life has not been pleasant here for the past 3 years, since the latest military coup.…
