The most important thing in life is to have peace of mind. And to find it, just stop following the crowd and do activities which bring joy to your life.
I learned about the Camino 25 years ago when I read Shirley MacLaine’s book about her walking The Camino. Now it’s very popular. It’s hard to be alone on any of the Camino routes.
@@lvp7696 The most popular months on the French route (St Jean Pied de Port to Santiago) are actually May and October. September is probably the third most popular months. Statistics don't lie.
@@leenieledejo6849 Not sure where you got the idea from that October was busy, but the 2023 stats from St Jean office show May: 10,890 , September: 10,132, October: 4,248 pilgrims. Statistics don't lie. 😅 @lvp7696 is right in the middle of the main season and I believe them that they can be alone if they choose to, apart from on the last five days from Sarria.
Thank you. I'm leaving in a few days to walk the Camino Portuguese with two friends. Nervous that I mightn't have trained enough, obsessive about what to pack & what to leave, worried about the flights. But the Camino is pulling me. I've wanted to do this for years. I wondered why, because I'm not religious. But I am looking for something. We'll see.

I call BS. I'm on the French route right now, the most popular month of the year on the most popular route - I have 0 issues with solo time

To send your backpack is not cheating but it is a different experience
It called me! I picked a date 9 months in advance

Walking poles are the business.
Thank you but…. What’s next? How do we find that trueness while we are living these normal lives?

And yes, it regards everyday life.
Sounds like you walked 500 miles to realize you have a crap boss.
Worth it!
Yep... You can work things out.
