Expect the Unexpected

Today is Day 242 of my Camino journey. OK, fine. You caught me. I haven't even arrived yet. I'm still sitting at home. But it FEELS like Day 242 😂

A few days ago I posted about my booking not being confirmed, yada, yada. So an update:

After HOURS (OK, like twenty minutes) of going through a ton of things trying to figure it out, I finally scrapped my original plan of spending 3 days in a private room to decompress and be alone with my snoring before I began my pilgrimage. I didn't want to be around other people after 15 hours of flying.

I chose let go of that, and have resigned myself to being more intimate with some of you than I've ever been with some of the men I've dated.

Yes, that's right. We're sharing a toilet. We're all gonna use the same ones in the hostel. I know, I can't believe it either. We've never swiped right on each other on Tinder, or been on ONE date!! 😳

Yet here we are. I'll meet some of you at Best Guest in Porto on Thursday. I'll be the obnoxious American with bright hair and googly eyes on her pack.

See you soon, and please leave me some toilet paper, or maybe buy me a coffee so I don't feel like a toilet whore 😂

Note: I admit I'm a bit nervous to stay with a bunch of strangers, but part of the reason I am walking the Camino is to push myself out of my comfort zone. Roll with the punches.
