    Looking put-together in cities - am I kidding myself?

    That ball gown-mountain climbing article is hands down the greatest thing I've seen all day, if not all week. Amazing. And, my two cents on the clothing thing? Next time I walk the Camino I am absolutely bringing a light dress that can be worn wrinkled, that fits into a little corner of my...

    what was your most expensive "unscheduled" cost

    Two completely unexpected costs: 1) I came down with a really nasty cold in Belorado and spent two nights in a hotel to rest and heal. Hotel Jacobeo - If memory serves it was about 50 euros a night - WAY more than I planned to spend each day. But, it was lovely and did the trick! 2) A dress. I...

    Camino-inspired clothing

    Wow, those are some pretty fancy lookin' shirts! I wish we were in a position to consider something that hi-tech. Alas, we're a little start-up and although we're going for the highest quality we can, we've got to start small with the t's and undies. But - food for future thought, for sure...

    What are/were your expectations?

    I was struggling with a lot of things in my life at the time and I was expecting to spend most of the Camino alone (despite what I had read about making great friends, etc.) I believed that what I needed was time alone to process, to think, to journal and perhaps to even pray. Drinks, laughs and...

    Camino-inspired clothing

    I literally just laughed out loud. Best. Response. Ever. I'm really happy you like them (they're my favourite pieces too!) But, I do think agreeing to give out freebies is a little premature for me, and entirely dependent on whether we surpass our goal or not! ;)

    Most effective way to wash clothes

    Sorry - I probably didn't explain myself as well as I could have. My method wasn't so much about using more water or needing hot water, and can totally be done in a wash basin - I was just SO excited to figure out that by putting my hands INSIDE the socks and rubbing that way they would get...

    LIVE from the Camino Innsbruck (Austria) - Finistera (Spain)

    Wow, Innsbruck to Finistera is quite the journey - I will definitely be checking out your blog! After walking the Camino in June of last year I ended up falling in love with an Austrian and we now live in Tirol. In an amazing bit of providence the apartment we found is right on the Camino...

    Most effective way to wash clothes

    This is an older thread, but I thought I would throw in my two cents. As someone else wrote, washing clothes isn't rocket science but strangely, this was something that turned out to be my biggest pain. Turns out I am not good at all(!) at washing clothes by hand. The dirt never seemed to fully...

    Camino-inspired clothing

    Thanks William, I appreciate you leaving the thread up, and hope that the others agree. And thank you for editing my introduction post. I'm glad that rule 7 exists as it makes all the sense in the world. I only wish I had read it first!

    Camino-inspired clothing

    Re: Camino-inspired clothing on Indiegogo! Hey folks, Just realized that I have committed a faux pas after all...I'm really new to the world of forums (on any topic), but... I neglected to read the Forum rules, particularly 6 & 7, and should have spent more time reading/writing and...

    Where are/were you watching UEFA Finals while on Camino?

    I was also in Santiago for the final in 2012 and it was AMAZING! I'm not normally a big sports fan, but to be surrounded by the crowds and that crazy energy is something I will never forget!

    top 5 memorable points on the Camino

    Only 5?! :) 1) Arriving in Orrison for my first coffee break on the Camino - soaking in the beautiful surroundings and allowing the reality of what I was doing to truly sink in. 2)Taking a silly self portrait with my camera on day two and doing a double take as I looked at the photo and a...

    Have any forum members started their relationship on the Cam

    Yes! And it was the last thing either of us expected/were looking for. We actually saw each other the very first morning leaving the albergue in St. Jean, but didn't end up chatting until we got to Zubiri. From that point on we were pretty much inseparable. :) I was living in Canada though...

    Evi's Introduction

    Re: Camino Wear! Thanks so much for the feedback, it's really appreciated - and I'm glad you like the undies! :) I'm a relative newbie to the whole 'forum world' and wasn't exactly sure about the etiquette involved, so your feedback is a huge help. I will absolutely be sharing more about my...

    Camino-inspired clothing

    Hey everyone - I wasn't sure the etiquette of posting about a crowdfunding project on the forum, but I'm ever so excited about this project and really wanted to let people know about it! My partner and I actually met and fell in love walking the Camino in June of 2012 - it took us a while to...
