My Caminos are a personal, spiritual getaway and three of my four Caminos have been solo; not alone, but not attached or obligated. The solitude, broken by occasional meetings for a day or two, is my elixir. It’s also one of the reasons I go...
I particularly hate the idea of Camino Family or Camino friends. I am terrified of smiling at someone or talking to someone on the way, and that person wanting to walk with me, making plans for the rest of the way. I prefer accidental encounters...
