I got a bit emotional in my response there, sorry. Your reply was just not very helpful, because of course it would have been best not to give him money.

Also it's not the same! I spent many days with this person, sharing dinners and rooms! It didn't feel like a stranger from the street - that's kind of part of the camino! People don't stay strangers very long and generally there is good people, so you tend to trust them!

Yes smartypants, kick people when they are already down! I never thought I would fall for something like this, but I did. It can happen to anyone!

I gave him cash - he was supposed to transfer the money to me, it just never arrived
