    Where in the forum I could find some philosophical / existential crisis threads?

    Sir John, that might be a really good advice, since my head is like bursting now with all the thinking and decision-making. My heart and intuition say you better go... especially now, it really is the time to do all the things in my life I've planned and dreamed of, and not to wait for 'a...

    Where in the forum I could find some philosophical / existential crisis threads?

    Thank you Robo! 'Rhythm' is a great word for that stage, or feeling - I've sometimes tried to describe it as 'flow', or 'meditative flow' or such. Your description of Phases was a good remainder for me. I try to train the physical side as much as I can beforehand, but it's so good to remember to...

    Where in the forum I could find some philosophical / existential crisis threads?

    Kiitos Kurt - thank you Kurt! I especially liked this crystallization: the Camino removes the distractions of everyday life. I've always missed a short expression when trying to answer the question why do you like to do all those walking trips. That's exactly why - too see more clearly.

    Where in the forum I could find some philosophical / existential crisis threads?

    I'm trying to find threads / discussions / thoughts about more philosophical issues or such - at least I'm not able to find any sub-forum title for these... - I'll (re-)start my walk in a month, and a week ago my 'regular, normal' camino changed into totally something else: doctors found an...

    Needing a bit of help with Spanish Phrases...

    Besides the basic phrases (buenos días, gracias, hasta luego etc.) I would next rehearse the numbers very well, especially 5-15-50. Maybe sesenta-setenta, too. I'm also trying to learn more and more Spanish, and I manage simple questions, but also I find it difficult to follow the answers when...

    VdlP Rest Days Recommendations Please

    My vote goes to Mérida as well :) - a great cheap hotel there: La Flor de Al-Andalus.

    Passport/credential?

    Ok, thanks! One more question: can I start with the new credential in March, or is it valid only from the 1st of April?

    Passport/credential?

    ...but what about this new policy concerning the credencials? With my basic Spanish I couldn't quite figure out what it means (the pdf in the Camino Forum shop under the topic of credencial). Is the new credential different, the one, which is valid from 1st April 2016? For example, I'll start in...

    Shampoo/conditioner

    What a great thread, I'm just testing different ways to handle the hair issue (long, thin hair, departure in March)! Now it seems that a no-conditioner but a TangleTeezer brush tactics would do it, but I'm still looking for some good concentrated conditioner stuff. I'll also try the Lush...

    Starting in Astorga

    Thanks falcon, especially reminding me about the weekend opening times in Spain! I plan to handle my Spanish prepaid sim card issues at the airport upon arrival and I think it's a good idea to buy some food in Madrid, too. Then by bus to Astorga and I'll probably walk to Santa Catalina on the...

    Starting in Astorga

    Hi! I'm from Finland and starting (or rather continuing) my camino in Astorga on 12 Mar 2016, probably at noon when I'll get there from Madrid Barajas! I'm planning to take it easy, hoping to get to SdC by Easter.
