Hello Everyone,
My name is Poppy and I live on my sailing boat 'Free'. At present I am overwintering in Amsterdam until April when I plan to sail north for Scandinavia. It has always been a dream of mine to sail to Lapland and experience the Northern Lights in solitude.
Another one of my dreams has been to walk the Camino ever since I read Paulo Coelho's book 'The Pilgrimage'. A series of profound experiences have left me questioning my faith, not just in God, but the whole of humanity and my place in it.
I hope to learn from you about all aspects of the Camino, from preparation, to experiences both physical and spiritual. I know it will be tough for me at 55, but I took early retirement to sail and explore the limits of what I can do here on Earth. I take nothing for granted.
My aim is to leave my boat in Northern Sweden in August and aim to begin from Notre Dame in September. After that it depends on a multitude of events, many of which will be beyond my control.
