    The most dangerous place I ever had to deal with was a busy street crossing in the center of the town of Virgen del Camino, back in 2015 --- where I stupidly stumbled over my own feet, fell, and badly broke my right hand! (Bone sticking out, and...

    Today is my 9th day on the CF. I’d like to share an astonishing story how the Camino provided what I searched for in a religious way: There is the oldest German church song which is sung just once a year in the Eater night: Christ ist erstanden...

    Hi! I walked the Camino Frances for 38 days last September and I was so happy I was solo. I met so many other wonderful friends that were also walking solo. You will do great! I cannot speak to the camino Portuguese as I have not walked it but...

    Am on Camino Frances now. There are very many solo female peregrines. You will meet others and probably find someone to walk with.

    I feel more "safe" walking on the camino then I do walking in my home town. I'm sorry that your family is not supportive but you are an adult and can make your own decisions. The Camino Frances felt very safe to me but still one must always stay...

    As a 70 year old lone female pilgrim (3 Caminos ) I agree with everything that has been said above. #15 post by Brooklinn is so good read it again and again. The only thing I will add is you will be walking through safe areas and you will be so...

    I walk alone almost every year. I'm 71, soon to be 72 and female. Like several other pilgrims have said, you will rarely, if ever, be alone if you are walking the CF. There will be lines of pilgrims in front of you and behind you. If they're...
