- Time of past OR future Camino
- Current [Sept. 14, 2018] - SJPDP to Santiago
(2006) Lugo to Santiago
¡Hola todos !
I'm returning to El Camino after 12 years and thrilled to be part of this community once again.
My current plan:
- fly from Geneva to Biarritz on Sept. 13, arriving at 8:20PM
- share transport to SJPDP that evening around 9PM, arriving in SJPDP around 10PM, hopefully find a bed
- couch surfing in Biarritz!
- travel to SJPDP on Sept. 14 (still trying to figure out the best option for this)
- register a pilgrim; eat; prepare to walk; find a bed (I think my best option is to spend a day in SJPDP because of the time it will take to get there, mentally readying myself, and any unknown obstacles that might pop up)
- start walking west in the afternoon of the 14th from SJPDP
- ship bag to Roncesvalles (why not make the first day easier, if possible, right?)
- start walking west on Sept. 15, not too early, not too late
- arrive in Santiago ~30 days later
- optional: The Camino de Fisterra, depending on time and physical condition
[I will try to update my plans as they become clearer]
In 2006, I studied in Spain at La Universidad de Alicante. While I was there, we had a wonderful professor that would take a self-selected group of students on a week long Camino each semester. We took a train from Alicante to Lugo and started our 5 day walk from there. My time on the Camino was the most positive and memorable experience I had while studying abroad.
I'm currently on a 6-7 month trip around the world, including Vietnam, India, and now Europe. The only thing I know I want to do right now is complete (or at least attempt) the Camino Frances before leaving. I can't wait to start walking and sharing the experience with you all once again.
p.s. I studied yoga and became a certified instructor in Mysore, India during this trip. I hope to share the practice with others along the way through short classes or simple sun salutations in the mornings (or evenings, why not). Please message me or join in if you ever see me stretching along the way.
Thanks for reading
