Finland is not a part of Scandinavia but a part of Norden. But Finland also have Swedish as an official language so in parts of the country people speak a Scandinavian language. In the North some people speak Samish/lappish language as here i the north of Norway and in the North of Sweden!Ranthr? I have never met a Finnish pilgrim, they can probably talk with Hungarians but with who else?
I'm a swedish girl who's been longing to talk the camino for years. I have some months to do whatever I want before I start my new job. So I figured, why not
Some things bothers me though, and makes me put the date forward all the time.
I don't really enjoy traveling alone. Maybe the camino could be an eye opener for me, but I'm not ready just yet to hang out only with myself for a month.
I've read different things, that it could be a lonely walk, but also the opposite; that you're never by yourself on the trails. Maybe some of you could clear this up for me. Also, I plan to walk in the end of aug/beginning of sept- are there any certain dates or days in the week when crowds tend to depart? Also as a girl walking by herself, I'm thinking it could be dangerous.
I also have some anxiety issues. I can feel really anxious when I'm not close to my home and Spain is quite the bit away from where I live. I think being occupied and walking could be okay, but I'm still frightened that I'll have to cancel after just some days ....
I think that I _could_ walk the camino but I'm scared as hell of going out there. I've also had issues with agoraphobia in the past, and while I consider myself more or less cured- I'm still terrified of the thought of being out in a completely open field with nowhere to hide. I try to convince myself that to get 'cured', the only way is to get out there...
Mentally I'm not far away from going to St Jean Pied de Port, but somehow I can't convince myself to put one feet in front of the other and get there. To walk the camino for me would certainly mean that I challenge my old demons! But I think I'm up for it.
When it comes to the packing I feel pretty confident at least
If anyone has any thoughts about my ramblings, I'd appreciate it a lot!

Hi Milda, I have posted this quote before because so many of us have lots of concerns before doing the Camino. The quote is both funny and apropos.I'm a swedish girl who's been longing to talk the camino for years. I have some months to do whatever I want before I start my new job. So I figured, why not
