  • This video is about my first day of Camino de Santiago. I’m not sure why but I felt very anxious and nervous initially. I really had no idea what I was doing. I started walking from Porto, Portugal, and going to Santiago de Compastela, in northwest Spain. The route I’m doing is Coastal Portuguese Camino de Santiago. The whole route is about 300 kilometers (186 miles) and this is my very first long hike. Wish me luck!

    P.S. I am aware this video has a couple of glitches. Believe me, I tried everything to fix them but Adobe is not always perfect. I edited this video on my phone in a tiny village in northern Portugal. The internet and phone capacities aren’t perfect so you have to forgive me for this imperfect video. I know you’ll understand 🥰 few pixels in the wrong places don’t really matter, I hope.

    How the Camino serves is crazy.. the moment you get so anxious and feel lost you find plums from home and directly feel home again! Coincidentally? I don’t think so ❤

    "I felt very lost for a second..." Life Lessons... but then you found your footing again! Also, I love how as you begin your camino that you found two different kinds of sour plum trees that reminded you of home! (good omen!).

    The road in the end taking the path the sun had taken,
    into the western sea, and the moon rising behind you
    as you stood where ground turned to ocean: no way
    to your future now but the way your shadow could take,
    walking before you across water, going where shadows go,
    no way to make sense of a world that wouldn’t let you pass
    except to call an end to the way you had come,
    to take out each frayed letter you had brought
    and light their illumined corners; and to read
    them as they drifted on the western light;
    to empty your bags; to sort this and to leave that;
    to promise what you needed to promise all along,
    and to abandon the shoes that had brought you here
    right at the water’s edge, not because you had given up
    but because now, you would find a different way to tread,
    and because, through it all, part of you would still walk on,
    no matter how, over the waves.
    Finisterre by David Whyte.
    He dedicated this poem to his daughter who took the Finisterre route 😃
    I wish you all the blessings on your walk to the future ❤️

Try not to make mistakes, but they will come. Take them as part of the adventure, it is part of living. Most important get back in touch with your senses.

That was my first thought out of concern for you. But, there must be some reason why you have to do this. And, I really hope you can find answers or something you are longing for. Take really really good care of yourself. Tighten the bag around your waist and chest. Take good rest if you feel any physical pain on your body. GOOD LUCK!!!
