    please help: Groups of school students walking the Camino

    Thank you so much. They all want to put us in hotels instead of albergues. I want the kids to get the "real" experience.

    please help: Groups of school students walking the Camino

    While hiking the stretch from Sarría to Santiago I noticed large groups of students hiking alongside and staying in the albergues. I am a teacher in Indiana USA and I would like to take a group of students to walk with me that same stretch. I want my students to stay in albergues instead of...

    What causes people to stop their caminos?

    Think about quitting?! Oh yes, it will happen. I remember two specific occasions during my Camino in June of 2013. The first time was starting out in the Pirineos. I thought I would never make it to the top. I sat down convinced I couldn't take another step and off in the distance I see this...

    Hospitaleros needed?

    Speaking Spanish is not an issue. I am fluent in both Spanish and English. I appreciated the hospitaleros who gave of their time and energy to help us all on our Camino. I would like to do the same. For me as well as the "Caminoists" Trent Shupperd Sent from my iPad using Camino de Santiago...

    Hospitaleros needed?

    I am part of the class of 2013. I am a teacher and my schedule allows 2 months of rejuvenation. I can think of no better rejuvenation than being a part of the Camino. Are there any albergues that need help during the busy months of June and July and would be willing to offer a place to sleep and...

    Pre/Post Camino ~ What advice would u give yourself? Did u overhaul ur life?

    Pre-Camino I knew I needed to do something. Something was missing but it felt just beyond my grasp, slightly beyond my grasp. I was compelled to do the Camino. I started and completed during June/July of 2013. My one year anniversary of leaving June 2 is quickly approaching. I had no assurance I...

    Would you recommend continuing to the ocean after Santiago?

    All along the way I kept hearing about continuing to Muxia or Finisterre. Making it to Santiago was a wonderful accomplishment, for sure. Yet I still felt unfulfilled. I can't explain it. I felt myself pulled toward Finisterre without understanding why. I arrived in Finisterre still feeling like...

    Would you recommend continuing to the ocean after Santiago?

    Going to the ocean is a must. Watching the sunset over the Atlantic is the perfect end to the Camino. I am so glad that Ansi told me to do it. Thanks Ansi so much.

    walking the camino "is it a virus"

    Wow! You hit the nail on the head. It is a virus and I am so glad that it infected me. I miss thinking about nothing. All of us needs to periodically get away to do the Camino as a reset, as it were. My mind was reset and allowed to clear out the bugs. I am so grateful that I found out about the...

    The Camino Italia

    Yes. It is supposedly a route that starts in Venice and heads west across the north. It ends in Montgenevre on the Italian-French border at the Alps.

    The Camino Italia

    Has anyone hiked the Camino Italia from Venice to Montgenevre? I am planning to hike it in June 2014 and would love some tips in English or Spanish. Trent Shupperd Sent from my iPad using Camino de Santiago Forum mobile app

    Would you recommend continuing to the ocean after Santiago?

    In my opinion, One MUST go to Finisterre and experience the 0.0km marker and the sunset. The feelings of accomplishment and finality overwhelms while sitting with other pilgrims and watching the sun set over the Atlantic. Yet a sense of a new beginning accompanied those feelings. I felt a...
