    Newly minted EU citizen

    Though it’s nice to have a couple of languages, but not too many :)

    Newly minted EU citizen

    I of course know that, but it is a short hand that most folks generally understand to mean a passport from one of the EU member countries.

    Newly minted EU citizen

    Hi Mirta thanks! I think, at least with respect to US-Polish dual citizenship, unless I were to reside in Poland, I wouldn't have to pay any taxes there (I don't know if that would be the case if i owned any property there, but I don't, so that's a moot point). That said, you would have to pay...

    Hiking/Walking Shoes or Sandals

    l almost always use Keens, because of their wider toe box - the only problem with them is that they are very hard on the feet/ankles, etc. when you're walking on asphalt. Is there a work around for that? Like everyone else, weight is a concern. Is it worth bringing another pair of asphalt...

    Newly minted EU citizen

    Hi all - I don't know where else to post this, but this looks like as good as any forum to do so - So, now that I have my EU passport, I'm curious to know whether there are any 'perks' (other than not worrying about the ninety day limit for staying in the EU and avoiding the non-EU line(s) at...

    GR34 tips

    Thank you! As a follow up question: I've walked along the Voie Littorale from Bayonne to Irun (and then the camino del norte all the way across to SdC, but is there a long haul north-south coastal walk from Northern France (the same Voie Littorale?), or a recommended set of GRs to follow?

    GR34 tips

    Hi folks - if anyone has done some or all of this Grande Randonee, I’d love to hear about your experiences. Is the trail marked continuously the whole way? How is the gite/auberge/lodging situation. Etc., etc.? Best time and section to stroll in late September or early October? I’m looking at...

    Hydration pack or water bottles?

    I would be careful with ‘bladders’ (hydration packs), as they have a tendency to leak. I learned this the hard way two or three times on different Eurowalks. For that reason, I always carry bottles in addition to my bladder, despite the extra weight.

    My plan is not to have a plan, is that the point of the Camino?

    Having no plan sounds like a good plan to me!

    Starting from Lisbon — good or bad idea?

    Sports = Porto

    Muxia first or Fisterra?

    100 percent agree!

    In praise of Motel Truckstops on the Camino

    Then there are those godawful ones too, though… and I’ve experienced a few of those as well.

    Water Discussion (I thought you might like a laugh)

    Bladders are great - IF they don’t leak. I’ve been left almost without water a few times because of that - no fun. I recommend always carrying at least a liter bottle of water just in case.
