Hey guys, I have just returned home to Canada early from the Camino Frances and thought my story might help others.
I left Canada on Feb 29th and started walking on March 4 in Leon. I had done SJPP to Leon last spring and my plan was to...
I have thought about writing our Camino love story, this gives me the perfect opportunity. On May 1st, 2023 I was walking ( my 3rd) just out of Ledigos when Dudley came up from behind and we started the usual conversation, where are you from? He...
After getting to know each other while walking on two Caminos, we decided we wanted to try to build a shared life. A few months later, when *he* first came to ‘the other end of the world’, as he described it, I was wearing a summer dress and...

When I was 40 on my second camino I met him in Roncesvalles at the pilgrim’s dinner. He lived on...
Not a very serious topic, but I just realised how ideal it would be to find romance on the Camino. A fellow pilgrim seems like the perfect match: he likes walking, he likes Spain, he does his own laundry, he gets up early, he shares similar...
from my experience Europeans are more 'relaxed', for example small kids run naked on the beach.....and guys used to wear a speedo like, unlike North American knee-long loose 'pants', lol.
I find most Americans are more modest about nudity. Of course, there are variations from family to family and person to person. But overall, I find americans are more modest now than when I was little. For example, when I go camping with...
