    Where to Find Vegan Protein Powder in Porto

    Thank you! When I looked last night, it didn't give me stores to look at in Porto. I don't want to be running around Porto looking if I can know where to start so I'll look in Decathlon.

    Where to Find Vegan Protein Powder in Porto

    Does anyone know if vegan protein powder is easy to find in Porto? I have looked online, but if someone has seen it in a specific store, that would be helpful so I'm not walking all over hoping it might be in-person. I try to have protein every meal, I'm just trying to plan my...

    Sleepwalking on the Camino

    Thank you very much. I can't sleep on top bunks because I will roll off, but I think being in the liner and having to maneuver out of that will force me awake. I'm going to let the people around me know. I usually wake up pretty quick, but I have been known to go through stuff so I'm hoping...

    Vegan Portugues Route

    I am also vegan going from Porto to Santiago in July so I'm also curious. Thank you for starting this thread! I need protein at every meal or I get very spacey and light-headed, after two days of not enough protein I get physically ill so I'm hoping this won't be an issue on the Camino. Gonna...

    Sleepwalking on the Camino

    Sounds good! And not usually. It usually has something to do with whatever I am dreaming about. So one time I was dreaming about snorkeling and woke up my husband to tell him there was an octopus in the bed and it was touching me. Or I stood up to stand at the bottom of the bed and then woke up...

    Sleepwalking on the Camino

    Great idea! It's nice hearing that we have options. If it was all or nothing one way, I think I'd be so anxious, but I feel pretty good and excited. Thank you for response!

    Sleepwalking on the Camino

    Is the liner the silk blanket I mentioned? I found one on Amazon and they called it silk sleeping bag liner. I'll refer to it as silk liner as I think we are talking about the same thing. And yes, no sleeping in a sleeping bag as it'll be much too warm. Sorry, trying to stay consistent with the...

    Sleepwalking on the Camino

    I really just need someone to tell me "go back to bed" as that's what my mom used to do. Someone probably would in a shared dorm. I'm not a violent sleep walker, just a very embarrassed and apologetic one. I hate disturbing others, even my husband! I think I'll let the few people around me know...

    Sleepwalking on the Camino

    This is actually my first time out of the U.S. so it's all new to me. The first night will be private as we get into Porto in the afternoon. It's all very new that's why I'm trying to plan for it, even if it doesn't happen.

    Sleepwalking on the Camino

    That is a really good point! I have not slept walked in a sleeping bag before, maybe the "struggle" of trying to get out would be enough to wake me up. I'll be in one of those silk blanket things so that may be enough. Thanks!

    Sleepwalking on the Camino

    All good tips, I'll do just that once we have our stops and everything planned out. Thank you for your response!

    Sleepwalking on the Camino

    It's mostly walking, but sometimes I do talk (absolute nonsense about dinosaurs or how there was an octopus touching me) and I do "search through things" sometimes. I don't sleep walk every night, maybe once every two weeks, but I'm trying to be on top of it for myself and others. My husband...

    Sleepwalking on the Camino

    I shoot for 8 hours now so I'll keep up with that and go to sleep earlier if I need it. Definitely do not look at my phone even an hour before bed so that won't be a problem, when I am going to sleep, I mean it! Thank you for your response.

    Sleepwalking on the Camino

    I've luckily never gone outside while walking, I tend to wake up after a few steps away from my bed. I think I'd need to try to stay as far away from the stairs as possible, to be safe. I've suggested a private room to my husband and he wants to see if it's even an issue first. I'll have to...

    Sleepwalking on the Camino

    We are considering it, a private room. I think my husband wants to wait and see if it even happens and if it does, go from there. I might be so tired, it might not be an issue. I only do it sometimes, but I'm always conscious about it. That is terrifying, in a strange place and someone comes...

    Sleepwalking on the Camino

    This is a good point. I really appreciate your response and letting me know common layouts. I tend to wake up after I have stood up, but I sometimes talk and I have been known to sit up in bed quick. It's a lot to consider. Since I'll be with my husband, I think a shared room might be a good...
