I already Started . I walked the Portuguese this year and directly started to plan the Frances . Thanks for your insights and I gladly accept your advise since it do answer my questionHere´s a tip if you don´t mind - start planning another Camino even if you never return - it´s great fun
""le cœur a ses raisons que la raison ne connaît pas" . So Simply I will not ask Myself why I'm thinking in it again so much , i will wait for my next camino to find outUltreia or further!
Hi Walid, it all started with the Camino Frances that my wife walked in 2013.Hello All ,
It's been a Month since my First Camino and the Idea of doing it again can't go out of my Head. So I was wondering how many of Those who walked the camino wanted to do it again and again and how many just walked it once and it was Enough for them.
For those who wanted to do it again , i would love also to know if the idea of doing it again was hunting them directly after the camino , since to be Honest , i can't answer myself this question " If i feel i found what i need during the camino , why I feel the need to walk it again and so soon " .

And I think After That , You will Keep Walking till All you Discover New Routes to SantiagoAnd after that. ........
Thanks you @Dutch for this wonderful remarks. the Feeling of reaching your journey is the most remarkableut when i walked into Santiago i knew straight
Thank you.And I think After That , You will Keep Walking till All you Discover New Routes to SantiagoI admire your journey
When I finished my first camino I actually commented that anyone wanting to do that again must me a right masochist, I mean, you just got to be nuts, so never again for me. I then started writing my book about my 'way' and realised within a couple of months of arriving home that I just had to do it again. Dont ask me why, it just had to be. I arrived home from my second on 26th May just past and said 'thats it out of my system, never again'. Guess what, I gotta go back. Dont know when but once again, it just has to be. As one American pilgrim told me, 'its my first time so I have an excuse, you should have known better'. Another old Yank of Irish descent was on his 12th camino and 10th last one and said,'its addictive and the cure is painful'. Finally, to maybe answer your question, what you found was such an amazing experience, its human nature to want to experience it againHello All ,

Leaving next week for my second Camino, the first was in May, 2013. I honestly thought that by this time I would be able to articulate the "why" of it but I cannot. One of the wonderful things about this Forum is that there are so many others who have fallen under the spell of the Camino and it's great to be in such company, but still am no closer to "why". So I am accepting the amazing gift of being able to make this journey again and will perhaps sort it all out along the way, but I doubt it. I hope you return.Hello All ,

OMG….my first walk is in 18 days. If I were to do it again 1n 2029….I'd be 94! Hell, why not?I wouldn't call it an addiction - just a beautiful transcendental experience that I would like to do over and over again. It was for me a 27-day spiritual retreat on foot, an outward and inner journey which I did in 2010. I promised to myself that I would do it in 2021 for the next Xacobeo and again in 2029 when I turn 75 years old. But I can't bear to wait that long, so I am going back next year in August 2016.
Wishing you a Buen CaminoI'm looking at late April '16 for Ponferrada to SdC
Couldn't describe it better , Thanks you for this lovely sharing . I was sure before you finish your message that you would be saying you will be doing it again shortlyjust a beautiful transcendental experience
And I Think the Beauty of Santiago , that practically those you walk with , become your best Friends in case they weren't before.with one of lifelong best friend
Thanks for your Reply , It is Indeed an addiction with painful cure . Looking forward to read your Book , it sound interesting'its addictive and the cure is painful'.
I Think your on the Way now and hoping you would find the " Why " . If Not , for sure you will try to find it in the Third Walkbut still am no closer to "why"
Next Time Ill see someone walking fast i'll Assume it's YouI don't even mind the crowds in the last 100km
Why would stop at 80? :>)I have walked part or all of the Camino Frances the last three years, the first one in 2013 at age 65. After finishing the first Camino, I had a fantasy of walking the Camino every year until I reach 80 years old. Only 12 more years! I absolutely love it. I keep coming back to the Camino Frances because it has less pavement than some other routes like the Camino Norte y Portuguese routes and because I love the energy and people you meet. I don't even mind the crowds in the last 100km. I just stop or walk faster to give myself some distance from a crowd.
Hi, yes why not. People say that walking is good for your health .OMG….my first walk is in 18 days. If I were to do it again 1n 2029….I'd be 94! Hell, why not?
Go for it, wish you a Buen Camino, Peter.My first camino 11 months ago I made it to Burgos before I came down with pneumonia and had to go with plan B (I was not walking the entire CF). But I knew by the second day that I wanted to come back and finish or do another section. I think of the camino every day. I'm looking at late April '16 for Ponferrada to SdC.
