You're back home and missing that special Camino vibe?
No problem – you can recreate that adventure feeling right where you are! Here are some creative ideas to bring the Camino routine into your living room:
1. Sleep in your sleeping bag every night – but switch spots around the house to keep that sense of being on the move.
2. Hand-wash your clothes – in the sink, using the same bar of soap you use to wash yourself.
3. Wait outside your front door – sit there for a few hours, pretending you're waiting for someone to unlock it for you.
4. Simulate the hostel atmosphere – ask someone to wake you up at night by shining a flashlight in your face.
5. Shop like a pilgrim – grab a roll, a slice of chorizo, a slice of cheese, and a banana. That's your typical pilgrim meal!
6. Order your food in sign language – just point at something and let your hands do the talking.
7. Chat with strangers – strike up a conversation with people as if you've known them forever. Ask them if they prefer shoes or boots.
8. Experience your own "rain shower" – put on as many layers as possible and have someone spray you with a garden hose.
9. Imitate trekking poles – tap a spoon against a plate to mimic the familiar sound of walking sticks.
10. Drink lots of water – then head "into the bushes," just like you would on the Camino.
11. Pick fruit from your neighbor's trees – of course, only if you have their permission!
12. Enjoy a glass of wine with painkillers – the classic pilgrim recovery routine.
13. Collect seashells – or shell-like objects – and take photos of them as if they were the most beautiful souvenirs.
14. Mail yourself some post – pack a few clothes and send them to yourself via mail.
15. Get dressed in the dark – and don't forget to put on damp clothes to really feel the Camino experience.
16. Go to the local pub and ask for a stamp – ask the bartender if they can stamp your "pilgrim passport."
17. Breakfast like a pilgrim – toast or a croissant is all you need.
18. Get a one-sided tan – sit in the sun so that only one side of your body gets tanned.
19. Say "Buen Camino" to everyone – whether you're out for a walk or just strolling down the street.
With these tips, you can bring the Camino routine back into your life – and maybe even a little bit of that adventure feeling! 😊 ¡Buen Camino!
