Sept 2025
Hi everyone,

Iā€™m thrilled to join this community! My name is Tom or ssrcobra, and Iā€™m currently preparing for walking the Camino de Santiago in September 2025. This journey has been on my mind for a while, and now that Iā€™ve set a date, the excitement is real.

A little about me:
  • Iā€™m passionate about my faith then also pickleball and fishing.
  • This will be my first pilgrimage of this scale.
  • Iā€™m particularly drawn to the history of my faith, culture, and reflective nature of the Camino experience.
Between now and 2025, I plan to gradually build my endurance, research routes (Iā€™m leaning toward the Costal route from Proto), and learn from seasoned pilgrims like you. Iā€™d love to hear your tips on preparation, gear, or any must-see spots along the way.

Looking forward to connecting with all of you and sharing the journey as it unfolds!

Buen Camino,
Tom
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
Welcome, Tom!
It is exciting for me when I "hear" the enthusiasm in the voices of those who are preparing for their very first Camino. You will learn a lot in the months to come as many dedicated members of this forum leave no stone unturned in answering questions you may have.
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

I worked on fishing boats and canneries in Alaska. Fish and I parted ways after that... hahahahahaha.
 
Join the Camino cleanup. LogroƱo to Burgos May 2025 or Astorga to OCebreiro in June
I live on the west coast of Florida and fish regularly in the Gulf of Mexico and the 10,000 island. In shore we catch Trout, Red fish, Snook. Off shore Lots of variety but Snapper is my favorite eating fish :)
Excellent. It was a genuine question. When not on Camino I spend my time in pursuit of wild brown trout on the rivers of the north west of England.
