Life as it is and have been for the past 3 months is slowly coming into change. It’s noticable for me, but only slowly and in a “behind the horizon” sort of way. Right now I feel nervous about it, and to be honest, that is a feeling which is highly welcomed right now.

There has been so much comfort especially the last 2 weeks. To the point of frustration. To the point where I realize there has been too much of the good. Now things are undoubtly changing. One part of me is frightened of what that means and one part is deeply happy that I will experience the nervousness of growth, once again.

I will travel to southern spain and over the course of around 50 days I will be walking through pretty much all of spain, along a path called Via de la plata. It’s a pilgrims path. The distance is around 1000km with quite long daily distances and (as I have understood it) very little civilzation. This path has been walked for many hundreds of years, both by traders and pilgrims, so it is well established. That means that I dont need ro reinvent anything, I just need to walk from town to town, like so many before me. The other side of that is that theres not that much information to find online, since one who walks it doesn’t need to prepare too much. That creates a feeling of mystery and uncertainty around it. How will it be? How will it look? When I have done similiar trips before, I would usually find out everything I can beforehand, to the extent of looking at satellite images of the towns I would be around..

So in short: lots of walking and much solitude, all covered in a cloud of mystery.

Y la gente hablan espanol!

My spanish is mediocre…

What an adventure it will be! I am swimming in my nervousness and it’s a fresh, welcomed experience – most of my days..
