I recently realized that of all the places, New York City doesn't have a community group dedicated to connecting past and future Camino de Santiago pilgrims together. Someone may occasionally do a presentation at REI on the story of their camino, but that's the extent of a Camino Community in NYC. So while I was stuck home with a cold this weekend, I've decided to start a local MeetUp group dedicated to connecting fellow Camino travelers. Three days after going live, we have about 40 members who have showed interest in joining our group and sharing their Camino stories with fellow travelers, and have two scheduled events coming up in April (6 & 13).
If you life in the New York (or the Tri-State area), and are interested in learning more, have traveled along the Camino before or planning to walk sometime in the future, than come join our community. This will be a place where we can share our stories, listen to advice from those who have walked, and keep the spirit of the Camino alive in New York.
Here is the link to our group - http://www.meetup.com/NYC-Pilgrims-of-the-Camino-de-Santiago/
Buen Camino!
