      Yes… in 2015 walked the Camino Frances. After we walked it we realized we needed very little to be happy. We sold our house and downsized moving into an apartment.

      First of all, I am an agnostic and a true cynic. That said, the Camino did make a fundamental change in both my life and the way that I look at things. I've lost about 40 pounds by walking Caminos. I've also taken a much better attitude towards...

      jabrown reacted to trecile's post in the thread Cancelling Camino - Soliciting Advice with Like Like.
      The easy and obvious solution is to start closer to Santiago. And I find that since my only "job" on the Camino is to walk from point A to point B that I can walk farther on the Camino than I can at home where I have a dozen other tasks that I...

      jabrown reacted to J Willhaus's post in the thread Booking return flights! with Like Like.

      Hey guys, I have just returned home to Canada early from the Camino Frances and thought my story might help others. I left Canada on Feb 29th and started walking on March 4 in Leon. I had done SJPP to Leon last spring and my plan was to...

      I know I get easily confused but you've got 11 days? 5 of which will take you from Ferrol to Santiago? You are planning a bus tour of the Norte? You might do better using the FEVE narrow gauge railway that parallels the Norte...

      If you stay in Markina Z, I would recommend booking ahead.

      jabrown replied to the thread Camino Frances Social Dynamics.
      I'm a long distance walker, so for me, the Camino's are a European crawl along a well provided infrastructure. The athletic challenge, the nature, the history, the moment in time experienced with people you meet and other intangibles make it a...

      Personally I have a much different take on the "camino family" experience. When I first walked in 2012 I believe (oly 8 to your 11 so I am a rookie haha). There were no camino families nor did I hear that term used. People I encountered walked...
