Hey Michelle - I hear you 🙂 I'm setting off for my first Camino on my 61st birthday in October - also from Sarria to Santiago; it's a trial run to see how I manage before considering doing the whole walk. I gravitate between incredible excitement... -

You will be fine. There is something so liberating about travelling solo. You will meet people, share meals, count blisters ( just kidding) and have a wonderful time. Buen Camino.

I’m 65, alone and severely disabled … I’ll be on the Camino this Winter quarter to avoid all the Camino scalp hunters bemoaning the use of e-Bikes (in my case an e-Trike limited to 250W) on a shared trail. So have courage … you are not alone.
