Hi Mirta thanks! I think, at least with respect to US-Polish dual citizenship, unless I were to reside in Poland, I wouldn't have to pay any taxes there (I don't know if that would be the case if i owned any property there, but I don't, so that's a moot point). That said, you would have to pay...
l almost always use Keens, because of their wider toe box - the only problem with them is that they are very hard on the feet/ankles, etc. when you're walking on asphalt. Is there a work around for that?
Like everyone else, weight is a concern. Is it worth bringing another pair of asphalt...
Hi all - I don't know where else to post this, but this looks like as good as any forum to do so -
So, now that I have my EU passport, I'm curious to know whether there are any 'perks' (other than not worrying about the ninety day limit for staying in the EU and avoiding the non-EU line(s) at...
Thank you! As a follow up question: I've walked along the Voie Littorale from Bayonne to Irun (and then the camino del norte all the way across to SdC, but is there a long haul north-south coastal walk from Northern France (the same Voie Littorale?), or a recommended set of GRs to follow?

I would be careful with ‘bladders’ (hydration packs), as they have a tendency to leak. I learned this the hard way two or three times on different Eurowalks. For that reason, I always carry bottles in addition to my bladder, despite the extra weight.
Bladders are great - IF they don’t leak. I’ve been left almost without water a few times because of that - no fun. I recommend always carrying at least a liter bottle of water just in case.
The Le Puy route is fantastic snd though my French is not bad, you would meet enough French persons (as well as Quebecois) who will be willing and eager to practice their English with you. I’m surprised you can’t find much cheaper flights, say to Leon and then blabla car it yo Le Puy.
