    Coping with change after Sarria - wisdom needed please

    Ohhh. Wait till you reach the Cathedral. Thousands of tourists, many irritated by shaggy stinky pilgrims. Even more, statistically, businesses would prefer them over us, we do not bring enough money to them. 😂 All that is a part of your pilgrimage experience. You've been dealing with terrain...

    For coffee addicts that like to walk early

    I am a coffee addict and I normally get up early at home. I brought a bunch of Starbucks instant coffee sachets with me to the Camino. It was nice to brew a cup sometimes. But honestly, I'd be fine without that instant coffee either. At home, I need to do a series of tasks that involve...

    Taking a Type 1 diabetic teen to Camino - what to expect?

    We are planning to walk Camino Primitivo in May 2019. Two parents + two teens, one of teens is Type 1 diabetic diagnosed less than a year ago. The kid is an athlete, and we don't think the physical part of walking would be the major challenge for any of us. But when it comes to diabetes, we're...
