WOW! another milestone for the Compostella Bellas.... we got our first comment.
It was such a treat to find this nice surprise waiting for me this afternoon when I decided to mozy by and put in today's piece.
Well now I just have to talk about this supportive community of bloggers and online travelers. I am always so grateful to hear words of encouragement and support from total strangers. It rekindles my faith in human kind.
Maybe that's why I (Danielle) love to travel so much. When you're out there in unknown territory you can either be fearful and timid or curious and excited. That's what has worked for me in the past when bazzing about the world - trusting in the goodness and kindness of people. I have been absolutely floored by the generosity and gifts offered during my trips here and there.
That's why I am so looking forward to the Camino in September. This time around I won't just be a backpacker. I'll be a pilgrim. Now I am not particularly drawn by the religious aspect of this pilgrimage but more by the spiritual/connection aspect. Some might argue that they are one in the same. However, at the end of the day, everyone embarks on this journey for their own reasons. My experience will be far richer if I remain open and engage as many pilgrims as possible about their motives.
So I'm sure I'll leave for France with a brain full of poignant questions to ask the beautiful people I'll meet.
What would you ask me if we met on the Camino? Go on....don't be shy :)
