    I have thought about writing our Camino love story, this gives me the perfect opportunity. On May 1st, 2023 I was walking ( my 3rd) just out of Ledigos when Dudley came up from behind and we started the usual conversation, where are you from? He...

    After getting to know each other while walking on two Caminos, we decided we wanted to try to build a shared life. A few months later, when *he* first came to ‘the other end of the world’, as he described it, I was wearing a summer dress and...

    From my own experience I very much agree. And *he* and I have often said as much. Sweaty clothes, muddy clothes, same clothes, albergue living, all the ups and downs, the falling down, the fatigue, the tears (mine) … and on it goes. And that’s...

    I did mention the Camino on my online dating profile and folks would often mention it when messaging me generally along the lines ‘I would like to do that’. In fact it acted as a good ‘filter’ to see if we we were potentially suited. Some nearly...

    sugargypsy reacted to Luka's post in the thread Camino Dating with Haha Haha.
    Not a very serious topic, but I just realised how ideal it would be to find romance on the Camino. A fellow pilgrim seems like the perfect match: he likes walking, he likes Spain, he does his own laundry, he gets up early, he shares similar...

    sugargypsy reacted to PawelB's post in the thread Shower/bathroom etiquette in the albergues? with Thank you Thank you.
    from my experience Europeans are more 'relaxed', for example small kids run naked on the beach.....and guys used to wear a speedo like, unlike North American knee-long loose 'pants', lol.
  • sugargypsy
    I find most Americans are more modest about nudity. Of course, there are variations from family to family and person to person. But overall, I find americans are more modest now than when I was little. For example, when I go camping with...

    When I lived in Germany there were many spas sans clothing and women sunbathed topless. We don't see that much in the parts of the US where I have lived.
  • sugargypsy
    Out of interest, because this question comes up here from time to time: I am German, but I also lived in the States (in the 1980s). Is there really a big difference in the way this topic is dealt with? I don't remember feeling that it was handled...
