    Definition of a Pilgrim 🤣

    Tips: chop the handle off your tooth brush to save 10gr, use an eye drops bottle for hand sanitizer to save 90gr (because you'll only need 8ml of hand sanitizer on a 3 month backpacking trip) Wear your clothes inside out to get another days wear! Only bring one pair of underwear!

    Money taken from my Cash Passport! ☹️

    I have set my accounts to text and email me when any purchase is made over $5.00 which is always a nice reminder that I spend too much and often more painful with exchange rates. I also lock and unlock my accounts as needed.

    Definition of a Pilgrim 🤣

    LOL I lurk on an ultralight forum and they are the dirtiest people. I would hate to walk downwind from them.

    The Camino will provide?

    In these cases I (not Christian) am very willing to buy someone lunch. It's lunch, I'm not giving them hundreds of Euros. I'm not willing to financially support them for the entire Camino, but I can buy lunch. At home, I am known to take homeless people to lunch when asked for spare change...

    The Camino will provide?

    I was frequently the provider, and while I didn't mind I was always surprised at the lack of planning of some peregrinos. Water, cheese, bananas, and nuts handed out to people who didn't have and needed something now. How can you not think to bring a snack or a bottle of water? Handing out...

    LIVE from the Camino Account of a very challenging day SJPdP to Roncesvalles (crazy weather)

    Day one done! Glad you made it through the rain and snow to food and a bed! Buen Camino!

    Need to ship stuff home

    They should have everything you need. I mailed stuff from Burgos to Santiago and from Finisterre to Canada and in both post offices the staff were amazing. They boxed everything (in Finisterre she packed it all in a box and then realized it would fit in an envelope/bag and switched to that as...

    LIVE from the Camino They are recommending the Valcarlos route tomorrow, how foolish would it be to go Napoleon?

    I'm not sure why someone in France should be expected to speak Spanish, or English, yes, it's nice but I never expect it. I have found a translation app works wonders when I need specific information.

    Commercial walking stunt from Wolksvagen

    Some do. I don't tend to buy things with large logos or brand names across them, but I am not going out of my way to cut the logos off my shoes. That would damage them. Some wear brightly coloured clothing while hiking so that they don't blend in to environment and can be easily seen. Most...

    Commercial walking stunt from Wolksvagen

    I'm confused. I didn't use the word maybe. Did you mean to respond to someone else? What Blog?

    Commercial walking stunt from Wolksvagen

    I've seen much worse shirts. Nothing stopping you from wearing it inside out or a t-shirt over it - although that could get hot depending on weather. Easy entry for someone on Camino though! Most of us are walking with advertising whether we admit it or not. Our shoes, packs, and clothing...

    Upcycle walking poles

    I clearly have been on the internet too long or need less coffee. I thought you were looking for walking poles that had been decorated or turned into something else.

    Camino banner map - where to buy?

    Please let me know when you have them in stock! I'll also try to remember to check your site lol. Thank you.

    Camino banner map - where to buy?

    Yes, I saw that before I asked. I prefer not to deal with Etsy. I had hoped Ivar had it in the shop but sadly no.

    Camino banner map - where to buy?

    This one. Sorry, I was unable to grab this earlier. The tear is not quite as bad as I feared and I'm having them tape it from the back. This framing project has been a nightmare and they have had to redo it twice lol. On the upside...they did refund my entire costs so I guess my vanity...

    Camino banner map - where to buy?

    I had bought the long Camino banner-style map in Santiago and finally got around to having it framed. The framers managed to tear my map and I'm in need of a replacement. Does anyone know where to get one online? I have seen it on Etsy, but I hate Etsy and would rather send my money elsewhere...

    Holed Up With a Nasty Cold

    It's amazing how quickly people have forgotten about Covid. At this point it should be the first thought instead of a cold.

    Holed Up With a Nasty Cold

    Hope you're feeling better soon! Thank you for being a responsible human and staying put for a few days to allow yourself to recover and prevent others from getting ill.

    My own socks test

    Injinji and Darn Tough are my favourites as well. I throw everything in the washing machine and dryer because I am lazy that way. The socks survive and I have very happy feet. Buen Camino!

    What about “té con leche”?😀

    My sister does drink coffee and getting tea was sometimes a challenge. Be prepared for a herbal tisane in some places or if you're lucky Earl Grey. Prior to my first Camino I had a Spanish language app and one of the conversations was about beverages. ¿Te gustaria cafe? No gracias. Té por...
