    Safe to walk alone?

    quick question if you don't mind guys... I've previously walked the Frances in 2010 as an 18 year old, alone at points along the trail and sometimes not even bumping into other pilgrims for the majority of the day. It just depended on how it worked out, I paid no attention to whether I was...

    Norte or Frances?

    Too cold to walk in October? Too deserted for a woman alone?

    Hi Jade, I'm also leaving SJPP on Sept 20th as a 23 year old solo female traveler...perhaps I'll see you there! Buen Camino :)
