      JustOneGuy reacted to naplesdon's post in the thread Fear versus Reality with Like Like.
      I started my first of a dozen or more Caminos in 2011 and I didn't have a clue. I was living in Biarritz at the time and had some free time on my hands and so one weekend I took the train down to SJPdP. I bought a small backpack, too small...

      I really like your approach: free mind, independent, "don't worry" and... "just do it".

      I thought it might be useful for new pilgrims to read about what kind of concerns veteran pilgrims had before their first Camino and what really was an issue (or not!) for them during that first and following Caminos. Having fears before...

      Interesting question. And interesting answers. I have not walked a Camino yet, I'm fluent in Spanish and quite used to walking large distances. I know that I may have to stop along the way due to some physical issues, age, etc., but this is not...

      Vancouver Canada. And to be clear, feelings of safety was never my point. I think this is more of a discussion about architectural styles of different countries versus safety. I haven't checked, but I suspect the crime rates in Spain are...

      Thanks for the answer. As I wrote in my other comment in this thread, as an Italian, living in a house at street level, with no fence, and WITHOUT bars and a security door in the US was quite shocking at the beginning. I have been living in many...

      this is interesting. Where are you from Jack (if I may ask, of course)? I said that it looks interesting because it shows how much the native culture affects our feelings of being safe or unsafe.

      as has already been mentioned by many, in at least most of the southern European countries and elsewhere (I would venture quais “in all Latin countries”) people use security devices on doors and windows. In Italy few people live without a...

      A few of the Forum members have known about my condition for some time. In Feb. 2024 I was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. I was registered in the national Parkinson registry. A miserable death was awaiting as my future. No more Caminos. I...

      JustOneGuy reacted to HBS60's post in the thread Post-Camino Insights with Like Like.
      It’s now been almost 3 months since I completed my Camino Frances, and I’m still processing the experience (I suspect that will go on for a long time). A few things have been bubbling up that I think are worthy of sharing: The Camino is like a...
