    It is true, I have exactly the same feeling with you. People who never experience the camino will never understand the feeling. People ask me question, why I keep coming back, there are other beautiful places. It is true, but those other places will never give me the same feeling as one family. No matter where you are from, what race are you, we always buen camino and we are one family.

    Thank you for sharing this, after my camino in 2022 I thought I was alone with my feelings (the good ones) and I felt that I was exaggerating and overreacting all my emotions,but knowing that there's people out there experiencing the same it really feels good.
    Thank you for creating this magnificent video.
    Buen camino!
    for you, and all those who feel nostalgic about the camino.

    Can’t remember a better summary and synthesis of why the Camino is so special. You really did a good job of getting to the essence of the experience. I have walked 120 miles twice on the Camino Francis, and would love to go back again. For me the Camino is the most authentic human experience you can have. Without pretense, you join a Camino family and walk in a manner which allows you to hear God and to consider the wonderful gift of life!

    I’m currently on the Camino and this video is so good at helping me explain to other pilgrims why I am here for the six Camino.

    I watched all your episodes about the Camino Primitivo. You don't just show extraordinary landscapes but you also talk about your emotions. This is the most important. You are not only beautiful but also a sensitive person. In a few days I"ll take the same Camino to Santiago. It will be my first time. I can't wait.
    Thank you very much.

    Irina, I loved the way you so eloquently described the Camino experience. I don't know if I can add anything other than to say that the reason I keep going back is I have yet to find any other experience that enables you to live so freely, authentically, and joyously in the moment, over an extended period of time, and to share that with so many others, unencumbered by the demands or judgment of the "material" world. Having heard the call to the Camino, I can never un-hear it, nor do I want to.

    The fact is that suffering and difficulties are bearable, if there’s a much greater meaning and enjoyment. That’s why we keep going back to Camino. 🍻 I honestly seek suffering because I noticed life gets elevated as I journey through suffering. People should seek out and experience some level of suffering. ✍️

      Agree with that! Only stepping out of the comfort zone we experience growth!

    well.. i saw you when you started the Del Norte, very tentative, a little nervous maybe. You took the time to tell us your journey, thoughts, and sometimes emotions. Bravo to you Irina, for taking the steps for taking the time to do something you will never forget And to us who subscribed to you and enjoyed your journey. Buen Camino Irina, Buen Camino
