My philosophy

You know you HAVE to go on the Camino but don’t know what the hell you need to do and are sick of the masses of contradicting advice.

A seed got planted sometime and now it just won’t go away, like a little child tugging at your sleeve for attention. No matter how hard you try to ignore them, those signs keep appearing in your path to tell you to go. But it all seems so daunting… What do I need to consider? Can I do it? Where do I start?

Fact is everyone has an opinion on what you “should do” to go on a Camino. You have joined the social media groups and even asked a question, but now feel more confused from the variety of responses. There is a lot of noise and it’s difficult to decipher who to trust, so you keep going down rabbit holes and getting more unclear. OR you have found people who will happily sort it all out for you, but that doesn’t quite feel right, and you want to do it yourself in the way you want, not to fit to their plan or pay their price.

If you don’t figure this out you might give up on the idea altogether or worse, not get what you want to out of this once in a lifetime opportunity when you go. You could spend the run up to your trip getting stressed and worrying if you are doing it right – AAARRRGGHHH! You’ll get there OK, but you might be pretty worn down!

If you can figure this out soon – OMG – imagine enjoying the preparation and spending your energy getting excited about Your Camino. You could use that excitement to research more and really take time to decide what you would love to do and get out of your Camino. Less time farting around, more on getting prepared emotionally and spiritually for your journey. WOW!
