    Smokers at the pilgrim office :-(

    Yeah, there's pretty much no way to stop a smoker from smoking if they want to and the law doesn't forbid it in that area (especially in Europe!). Speaking as a smoker though, it would be nice if we were more considerate, especially if someone specifically asks you to stop.

    LIVE from the Camino Pre Camino Jitters

    You'll be fine! I just finished camino, as a female traveling alone. I had worries and anxiety to the point of panic attacks leading up to my first day. But, after one hour on camino, every worry and anxious feeling left me, and it was a glorious feeling. There was three times on my camino that...

    A few questions for our first camino...

    Take two pair of cheap sunglasses! Don't take expensive ones! I brought one cheap and one expensive (Oakleys) and kept them both in a low impact area of my pack when not in use and guess which of the two broke... The cheap ones lasted the whole trip and served me well. Don't do the waterproof...

    LIVE from the Camino Going Home

    I finished camino last week and just arrived home in the US... It's so strange. Some moments I feel like I never went to Spain, that it was all a dream. And then the next minute, I'm freaking out because I can't cope with being back. After being home 1 day, people say they see a change in me...

    LIVE from the Camino Is finding accommodation on the Camino Frances, becoming too stressful?

    I just finished camino, and never once booked a room ahead. I was not an early riser, often not leaving until 8 or 9 and not arriving until 3 or 4 and I still got a bed in each place. Between Santiago and sarria, there is definitely a lot of pilgrims, but the cities on the brierley guide have...

    Why are you walking so slow, or did you train for this?

    I heard the same thing, suffering from a knee injury. It's nobody else's place to question or judge YOUR camino. I commend you for making it, and what's more, sticking it out through the hardships. On another note, to the person above me, I am from arkansas! I'd love to know some other...

    Leaving Tomorrow

    Also, Question: I know you need 2 stamps per day in Galicia. But what if you take a rest day (even on the last 100 km)? They are expecting rain this weekend so I was planning on just staying wherever I landed until the rain let up on Monday. Will I still need 4-6 stamps from the same city over...

    Leaving Tomorrow

    I have been studying Spanish in Salamanca for a month now, and am leaving tomorrow to begin my first "vacation" camino in Sarria. After having just packed all my things, I'm overcome with anxiety. Is this normal? And it's not an "I'm so excited, I'm nervous" anxiety, this is full on...

    Getting from Salamanca to Sarria

    I am also trying to find transportation from my university in Salamanca to my starting point in Sarria. Ivar is there a train or bus? What company is it to go to Lugosi? I plan on leaving Salamanca next week, on July 30 2014.

    Smartphones, ugh!

    Coming from a different point of view, I'm actually writing a guide on how to do the camino in this day and age, using the most of the technology we have. I won't be using it to watch those embarrassing Facebook videos, but I will be commenting on apps to use, ways to communicate, when to use...

    Arkansas (The South) Spring/Summer 2013

    So sorry for never seeing this! As we know, life has a way of telling us when things are right. Turns out that 2013 was not the right year for my first camino. 2014, however, is! I plan on starting july 31/august 1. I'm glad to hear you completed your camino and met some fellow Razorbacks...
