Day #133 | Reaching León Now With Santiago in Sight! On My Camino Toward a New Life | Gideon Nielsen

November 1st - 2020 - From Mansilla to León (19km) - Total walked (about): 3025km

A short day, that seemed heavier than most. For some reason, sometimes, short days feels a bit heavier than longer days. That can seem strange, and it is, and I have yet to figure out why.

Either way we got to the last big city before Galicia and Santiago and are now within two weeks of being at the end of the world. I will hike on from the French guys who will stay in León and continue and finish this long quest, alone.

On June 7th 2020, I was out for a walk around my home in Denmark during a period where I was processing a breakup. About nothing had really inspired me for more than a month, of what to do with my life, once again, but the kick of inspiration of walking from Denmark to Santiago in Spain hit me and made me smile genuinely, which felt good and right.

So here I am walking and while I am walking with an open mind and see what happens and that I am okay whether I make it to Santiago or not, I am walking toward a new life what now is a blank canvas... for love and inner peace...

... and if you have time during this summer and want to walk with me for a period of time, just write me a message and meet me on the road somewhere in central Europe.
