Writer was instantly exited to walk the Camino de Santiago after seeing an episode of Lonely Planet depicting the trek. That was around mid 90's. It took time to actually make the first Camino happen. After that she has gained experience of five pilgrimages on different routes. The hikes have been challenging but very rewarding and mishaps have not been avoided either. The best way to start the Camino is to leave with an open mind and let the pilgrimage to unfold by itself. On every journey a specific song has been somehow playing a part and has since been associated to a certain Camino.
