    Making friends on the camino

    It won't be a problem, if you are open, and smile you'll make friends with folks of all ages, races, and religions, not to worry.

    Packing List : Food - What food/nutritional items are in your bag, when you leave home ?

    I don't think it is wise to try and bring food from Canada to France or any other country, you're likely to be flagged at customs and it may be fine but it is not worth the hassle. Buy from local markets once there, it's easy even if you don't speak the language, you'll get by just fine, I know...

    Posting videos with a Phone

    Me too, hence this post.

    Posting videos with a Phone

    This is my two cents, a recommendation when shooting videos with your phone that you would like to share with others and on this forum and elsewhere such as YouTube. Please use the 'landscape' mode instead of 'verticle or portrait' mode, it provides a much broader scope of what you are sharing...

    COVID The situation in Spain/Portugal as of July 8th, 2021

    Me too. Not good news.

    Describing trail experiences accurately and responsibly: Terminology

    For me, this forum isn't about walking or anything technical regarding the physical, it is about the journey, the people, the person who is on camino, sharing experiences, sharing their lives with others, joy, sadness, love and grief. Yes, getting directions about some physical part of whichever...

    What was the thing you were most happy to lose on the Camino?

    Weight.

    What's the one thing in your pack, that you absolutely CANNOT do without...and why?

    A pillow case from home. Keeps me grounded, keeps me 'home'.

    While Waiting to Walk - What are you doing?

    I walk 4-5 times a week, 3-9 km depending on how I feel, what the weather is and what else I need to do that day. I take photos on my walk too, neighborhoods change with the season so a familiar place has a 'fresh' face depending on the season and that helps from keeping it boring. Of course, I...

    Daily walking while we wait

    I walk 4-5 times a week, always a variation of previous walks, never the exact same one as the previous day. I take photos when walking looking for new ways of seeing my neighborhood as the same house, tree, or garden change with every season so they really never are the same, there is something...

    What will the 'new normal' be like?

    I'm sorry you're having that experience. Here in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada where I walk 4 or 5 days a week I'm not getting that kind of response. Here when I cross paths with folks and they make eye contact with me I always greet them and get greetings back. That is about 70% of the...

    On this date in July...

    On July 2nd, 2014, my sister Lezlie and I left Pamplona headed to Santiago on a very wet, windy day as you can see in this photo of us at Alto de Perdon.

    I’ve been thinking

    You are right. Not being able to travel has been a slap alongside my head waking me up to how privileged I was to be able to travel and to walk the Camino. This is hard, I hope I never take anything for granted again. Sometimes reality sucks, sometimes it is a Saviour in hiding.

    A 'One Word' Why?

    Me.

    The funny thing is....

    While I have not mapped out my camino I, too, am looking forward to this upcoming gift that is the camino.

    The ’Real World’ - consensus reality or The Camino

    For me the camino is about people. I see they are the same as I am, someone walking a long distance with a pack on their back, sometimes sharing themselves, sometimes not. Their appearance, their place in the world is nothing compared to the shared experience of the moment. I find while on the...
