    Camino Frances with 5 Year Old--Am I CRAZY??

    Hey, I am planning a trip with my whole family in two years. By that time our oldest son will be 6, our daughter will be 5, and the baby boy who's still in my belly at the moment will then be around a year and a half. I think yes we have to be slightly crazy to do something so against the norm...

    Help! First Timer Unsure of Anything!

    Hey Nancy, I haven't been on my Camino yet but I have a Deuter 35l + 10 act lite womens bag that I got through REI. It has great hip belts and an awesome structure. I feel like if I pack well that the 35l should be good and the extra 10 I'll use for little presents I pick up for my family at the...

    Sports bra recommendations?

    Hey Camino ladies! I'm having trouble finding a bra that's quick drying and has plenty of support. I would really like merino wool as some percentage of the fabric for the stink free properties, but do they support well enough? What have you taken and what would you suggest??

    Should I do CF, another route, or just travel?

    Thank you for all the support! I am still calming nerves but I think I will continue with planning, either from SJPdP or Leon. :) As for some of the questions asked by @jirit I did some traveling solo in my teenage years and never outside of the states. My husband and I have given the trip a...

    Should I do CF, another route, or just travel?

    Hey all, I am struggling to decide what to commit to doing. I have been planning on walking the Frances and there's part of my heart that longs to do it. As I delve into the process of getting ready the time away is a growing worry. My husband, Sean, is so supportive and will be staying home...

    Poll: Which backpacks are most popular on the Caminos?

    I'm looking at the same pack as you, or the fjallraven bergen 30. How do you rate the support system and the hip belts? I'm a rather hippy shaped short woman and really should have a women's specific bag. But I really like many things about the fjallraven's. Otherwise I am looking at Deuter ACT...

    September-October 2015

    Hey all, I'm going on my first Camino this fall and I am going solo which is an intense idea for me, both thrilling and scary. I am a wife and mother of two young kids. My planning is all in the beginning stages, but I am interested in others' experiences of weather at that time of the year...
