Valuable things I learned on the Camino

[Ervux]

Hello,

Everybody's talking about practical things to bring on the camino... how to prevent injuries, what to wear, whento wear, what to this, what to that...

My friend sent me his Camino experience from a little bit of a different perspective.

In this post you will travel with him on his thoughts, emotions and his view of the Camino. Not a practiacal one, but purely... how Camino changed quality of his life and people around him.

Regards,
Erwin.

Hello,
From personal experience, I noticed that on the Camino, there were a lot of shy people that didn't want to start any conversations just because of their social insecurity. Well, that changes today.

This personal viewpoint / guide may seem too sceptical to others, but its some tips how to overcome self-doubts and make really good friends on your personal Camino de Santiago.

A couple of suggestions, if you see a pilgrim dining alone invite them over to eat at your table or vise versa. Language barriers are quickly eliminated these days due to apps like Google Translate, etc. I met a German pilgrim at a cafe near the train station in Santiago and we dine and converse for an hour using our phones. It was a wonderful experience.

The only negative I see in the linked blog post is the categorization of types of people you will meet on the trail. I don't think that these types of stereotypes are helpful.
