    Summary of my little trip + some tips

    Summary of my little trip + some tips

    Thats one of my things in backpack i never used 🤣 About a language. First thing, all my life I recognized English as an international language. In Israel all people know English and it's hard for me to imagine that in some countries a big part of people doesn't know it. Second, if someone...

    Summary of my little trip + some tips

    Oh, totally forgot about that. Thank you for reminding me. Before my flight i took 300 euros, and when i came back, i had 204 euros. I saw only one place that dont accept card. A few places preferred cash, so i payed with cash. Most places accept cards. I think in few years all places will...

    Bad weather - Is it walkable?

    No :( i have exactly 9 walking days for Camino Invierno. I think, if it will be heavy pouring rain all that days, ill go Frances instead of Invierno. Less km per day, more time to hide in shelters.
