Going pilgrim


Posts: 1123

Umm, so I decided to leave my job and now Im in Paris alone, feeling a bit lost, which might be because I literally don’t know where I am atm.  My plane landed a few hours ago and I’ve got jet lag and am in a fog.

I find myself here because I decided to walk an ancient Catholic pilgrimage across northern Spain. It seemed like a good idea at one point but I have no clue why, I’m not Catholic, or even a Christian. I don’t even have a religion. Last time when I had to fill out the census I put Buddhist only because I felt  sorry for them cause of Tibet.  I’m starting to wonder if I made a mistake.

I have a 12 pound back pack, which is holding all I own, which isn’t much. I also look like death. There are a lot of sirens everywhere for some reason. Lol They’re those cool old sirens that sound like high pitched ‘hee haw, hee haw’ and I’ve been walking down these narrow cobblestone streets, which is cool  

I may record some travel notes here but in a few days I don’t know if I’ll have much access to wifi. I need an EU SIM card too.

I think I’ll try to find a bar and get food and try to get un-lost before I pass out. So far my junior high French is holding up as expected. People respond to my basic bastardized French sentences with lengthy replies forcing me to stare blankly before stammering back in English like an idiot. It’s embarrassing lol who cares.

Well...  Wow.  Please be careful; take care of yourself.  Take pictures, take video.  It might be a shame not to record the journey and be unable to share it.  (Including how it all led to this in the first place.)

And hey, Google Translate.

What I am going to post may be a bitter pill to swallow. You are a feckless twenty-something (really teen), while most of us care for our financial futures and I havestill worry what will happen to me. Have you given much thought to where you will go instead of just running (away) all the time. Last time you checked in we found you at a foreign airport balling your eyes out and had to have a stranger drive you home, yes. What do your parents say. Will they continue to support you through and through when you return to them or will they oust you on the streets. Have you ever been truly homeless in a shelter, in the system, and sure you would care then. On the other hand traveling alone as a woman they say is a mystical experience but that doesn’t seem to fit. You deliberately thrust yourself into situations so foreign from your experience (all of your possessions in a 20lb bag, no language) to see if you will float. It would be different if you had an exit plan. At best you need to examine why you keep doing this.

Lol so much hate. Why is this? Who are you? I travel a lot but this trip is rather big.  For the record I’ve never taken money from my parents. I left home when I was 16.  But back to you, you seem angry? Are you having a rough go?

Also my last airport experience was indeed bad. It was not foreign though. It was in Canada. My dog died and I got in a fight. I was a little sad that day.

After travelling for awhile you learn an exit plan is easy. Just keep enough money for a trip home and always e open to the kindness of strangers. God sends angels to some.

 I think you have the exact personality for this. You are open and free and charming. You’d have to watch your impulses though. This can present challenges. It’s raining now. Downpour in Paris. I’m in a cafe downing wine. A strange man say down beside me and he got bounced. Lol. I tried to help him and spilled my wine. They sent more over.  :)
