Covid and Phone plans

If it's a later generation Samsung phone I suspect it would support eSIM.

Covid and Phone plans

If your phone supports it (most iPhones do), I highly recommend going with an eSIM. No need for getting your hands on a physical SIM. I know Orange offers eSIM. Here is a link to the Apple support web page on eSIM. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212780

Hiking poles from USA

I put my poles and other sharp objects (knife, cork puller) in a shipping tube and checked that. I carried on my pack. This worked out great.

First timer - foolish or not to try the St jean pied de Porte route ?

Go with your gut feel. If you’re reasonably fit you can handle it. I’ve hiked more difficult trails in the Rockies.

How Important Is The Compostela?

My credencial means much more to me than my Compostela. I am a Protestant Christian. The Camino has deep spiritual meaning for me, but none of that meaning is impounded in the Compostela. I’m ambivalent about whether to get one on my next Camino.

Photographing the Camino

Yes, they were made on the Camino Frances. The funny thing about the Camino is that it’s really not about the scenery, it’s the people. That’s why I wouldn’t worry about it having been over photographed. Any photographer with an inquisitive and open mind will be able to find new and compelling...

Photographing the Camino

You have a good photographic eye. I like the style of your portrait work especially. There are so many ancient buildings that would make excellent backdrops for your portrait work, it’s hard to pick out any particulars. The most interesting might well be the least notable. At the time of year...

Newbie seeking wisdom and advice

If you can swing it, I’d get a smaller pack, say 36-38 liters. The problem with using a pack that is twice what you need is all that extra space believe it or not. I’d be concerned about things shifting around in there. The Valcarlos route starts in SJPDP and takes you through the village of...

Looking for a buddy

It may be hard to imagine, but even though you might travel to the Camino on your own, you won’t have to walk alone or be alone. I was a solo traveler when I did my first Camino Frances in 2015 but I was not alone or lonely on my Camino. I suggest going with the flow. You will be just fine...
