Camino Conversations: Tim’s Journey from Dreaming It to Doing It

Tim, 67, answers questions about his training, accommodations, concerns, surprises and a whole lot more.

This is the first in my Camino Conversations series. Thank you to everyone who tuned in—and a special thanks to Tim for braving all the new technology in order to join me.

🌟 Why watch this interview?

1️⃣ To hear why Tim said “What am I waiting for?” at age 67!
He shares how The Way movie planted a seed years ago — but real life (kids, career, travel) kept getting in the way until he decided now was the time. His story is a gentle nudge for anyone putting off their own Camino dreams.

2️⃣ Discover why Tim chose to walk solo — and why he has zero regrets.
He explains the surprisingly tricky “funnel” of finding the right Camino companion — and the wisdom of realizing that loving someone doesn’t mean you want to be with them 24/7 on the trail!

3️⃣ Practical pep talk: how Tim trained in his hometown — and what surprised him about the terrain.
He talks about his training (and café breaks!) in and around Asheville, NC and why going to the gym is not the best training.

4️⃣ A little reminder that it’s never too late — and you don’t need fancy gear.
His training was refreshingly simple: “Just slap on your shoes and hit the pavement.”


The next Camino Conversations will take place on Wednesday, July 16 at 11 am ET.

I’ll be speaking with Lois—who, at 72, walked over 500 miles on the Camino Francés.
