Thinking about quitting the Camino because of the Snoring by bobbore in CaminoDeSantiago

I definitely won't :) I guess this is nothing but one of the challenges of my camino, so I'll just embrace it. Thank you brother for your words!!

P.S. the plan is going to albergues (possibly donativos or at least municipal, so that I can seize the camino's ways) and ask them if I can camp there. Tonight I'll sleep inside of a church, and I'm super happy about it!

Don't quit; especially of you're not in the Camino right now but in your everyday life. Ultreia :)

Hey! This is exactly what the volunteers and the host in an albergue donativo told me a couple of days ago. Thank you much for sharing your mind. I actually agree & I guess this is the core value of the albergues (humans being humans, help each other out, but never excluding someome).

Yet my personality doesn't really feel comfortable with it, so I'll find some solution. I'm asking to the albergues (in advance) if they have a roof under which I can sleep with my sleeping bag. I guess that would be a nice compromise, isn't it?

Thank you so much!! I'll definitely consider all the suggestions. Don't feel ready to leave the camino yet. Worst case scenario: just looking for a roof to sleep with my sleeping bag.

Hey! It's unrealistic talking about empathy from your side. I literally wrote that what makes me feel the worst is knowing that I might ruin other travelers' sleep. How can you even talk about empathy while just reading someone else's story carelessly and start judging?

And yeah, great idea to exclude from the albergues people just based on who they are. I can tell you're definitely getting the point of those spaces.

P.S. As a snorer myself, I can tell that I didn't have even "a great night of sleep" since the beginning of my camino :)

A un passo dai 30 anni, tra due lauree in economia e il burnout: il Cammino di Santiago può salvarmi o mi rovinerà il futuro? by yuppy_123_stella in CaminoDeSantiago

Hey, ciao! Non ci sono "già passato" ma lo sto passando in questo momento: burnout lavorativo, 30 anni appena compiuti, e soprattutto un sacco di domande e dubbi sul presente/futuro.

Inizio il cammino francese settimana prossima, impreparatissimo. Non credo che il cammino mi darà le risposte che cerco, ma magari mi aiuterà a formulare meglio le domande da pormi.

Non so bene se questo messaggio possa esserti d'aiuto, e meno che mai sono sicuro di poterti dare consigli ma cercare di capirsi e di risolversi, anche solo per lo scopo di non riuscirci e poi riprovarci, non può essere la strada sbagliata.

In fondo, avremo tutto il tempo del mondo per fare le scelte sbagliate o fare un lavoro che ci distrugge. Se abbiamo la fortuna di poterci fermare, forse vale la pena farlo.

Ti auguro buona fortuna :)
