This video is about my first (scary) day of Camino de Santiago. I’m not sure why but I felt very anxious and nervous in the beginning. I really had no idea what I was doing. I started walking from Porto, Portugal and going to Santiago de Compastela, in the north-west of Spain. The route I’m doing is Coastal Portuguese Camino. 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 in my phone in a tiny village of 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 wrong places don’t really matter, I hope.

Loved your first day. This will be my camino in late August and I'm feeling excited but know I will also be anxious when the day finally comes. Did you train leading up to your camino by long walks at home?
Buen Camino
This is very interesting! I am definitely going to follow your videos and can't wait for the whole experience to be unraveled here. Best of luck!
I did the Caminio across from France in 2015. It was the best but hard. I have short legs so it took me 56 days to do 800 km. But the comradeship and help I received along the way was magical. 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.
Buen Caminio.
I'm glad your anxiety is going. I've been dreaming of doing the camino for years now but life keeps getting in the way. Hopefully soon. I'll be following your travels and look forward to more videos. Good job.
can't wait for the next video! I'm starting from porto in a month too!
I'll do the portugueses path in june! I'm very excited. Thanks for sharing your experience 🙂
I am preparing for same route. I am doing same, no reservations.
Anxious but excited
So impressed with your photography. I have watched many Camino vlogs and yours is very nicely done. Are you a film student or a graphic artist? Thank you, and Buen Camino.
Amazing! I'm starting the Camino (this same one) in 10 days. Low key freaking out, and excited for the experience. Good luck in the rest of your time walking and exploring!
Where did you start camino?
დიანა უფრო და უფრო ლამაზდები რაა <3 ჯიგარი ხარ 😀
Good ,we did it in September one word ,it’s we’ll mark and just beautiful not to difficult just keep walking beautiful scenery.Buen Camino.
Well done, can't wait to follow along on the rest of your Camino!
I know very little of this pilgrimage ( I do mine in October) but i did enjoy this – thanks for your effort in sharing and watching you grow.
This is very interesting, most people go from France to Spain, so it is fun to see a different way.
when you looked at whether your bed was clean i was like.. i never want to meet this person in real life… why not take a taxi for your camino.. its even more comfort 😀
💗💗💗
Is camino easy or difficuly? is it safe or not? How much money you need? Is there a fixed path, do you have to reach hostel before dark?
Very well done! Loved the flowers, the narration and your smiles:) My daughter is starting Camino Frances next week- you remind me a lot of her:) best of luck and we will follow your journey !
So brave of you and looking forward to watching the rest of your journey!!!
Good luck, getting lost is all part of the journey, take care and have fun 🙏
Since I have seen the movie " The Way" I have always wnated to do "Camino de Santiago".
Good luck on your journey!!! You have the greatest vibes!! ❤❤

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.

I wish you all the blessings on your walk to the future ❤️
