What do you do when you finish a Camino? Do you start planning the next one?
I never thought I would enjoy walking the Camino de Santiago this much. As an introvert with some social anxiety, the idea of sharing hostel rooms, meals, and conversations with strangers didn’t sound appealing at all. But that changed quickly once I started meeting the kind of people who walk the Camino.
Now I’m back at work, adjusting to routine again. It feels different. I miss the simplicity of the Camino, the openness of the people, and how easy it felt to connect with others.
Is there anyone living around Lisbon who’d like to grab a coffee, connect, and share experiences? Or drop me a message if you are from anywhere else.
