    Packing List Final Review. Starting in a week! :)

    I have in SJPDP, roncesvalles, and Zubiri, hopefully will get a bed in Pamplona, and after that I will evaluate if I make reservations or just hope for the best in the albergues (also depending on my walking speed)

    Packing List Final Review. Starting in a week! :)

    Thank you! I will try an buy them at decathlon in Bordeaux, which is my last stop before SJPDP. (I would also use them on el salvador; which I read is tough) but I think it's worth the 15 euros investment, so I might as well get them from the beginning.

    Packing List Final Review. Starting in a week! :)

    Thank you! Yes I realized if I bring "nice" tops, I can wear them as an evening outfit :) so not bringing the extra shirt. And only brining the sarong :) I just ordered a scale on amazon

    Health Insurance for Mexican Resident

    Hi from Yucatan too! I was wondering about your final decision after your research? did you use mapfre? was it the best option in your opinion? it is a bit more expensive than Allianz, or Axa, but it seems like the decision is between Axa and mapfre, so I was wondering which is the one you...

    Weighing Travel Insurance Options

    Hi Trecile!! If I remember correctly, were you the one that said that you only showed your policy print when getting into the hospital, and didn't pay anything? I just wanna check once again I found an option from Axa for my trip, it is a bit expensive, (350 USD for 85 days) but GeoBlue is no...

    Am I packing too much?

    Yes, this is what I was trying to avoid, adding a new thread (I think there are plenty already with great information, didn't want to repeat over again the same thing), but well, I will do. That's true! I can always turn the pants into shorts, but not the other way around! hahah

    Am I packing too much?

    I do not have zip off pants (and won't get them as I already spent too much in shoes, socks and that), they are light cargo pants.

    Am I packing too much?

    I was all set on my packing list, but now I'm realizing that it might be too hot to wear hiking pants. (I will walk MAY 8 - JUNE 21. Frances-Salvador-Primitivo) So, questions: 1. I'm planning on bringing, 1 hiking pants, 1 capri leggings, and 1 shorts (shorts and leggings will work as pijamas)...

    How many days from Oviedo to Santiago?

    Well I'm planning 16 days for the primitivo, after 7 days on El Salvador 😂 I was worried that I wouldn't make it on time but, you give me a lot of hope that I will definitely make it in those days hahaha

    Walking the Salvador, starting June 26th

    I'm doing El Salvador starting may 30. But I see most albergues only have capacity for 4-12 people, and not a lot of options to book somewhere else, is this capacity enough for the few pilgrims doing this camino? or should I definitely look for booking options ?

    Alternative to Allianz travel insurance

    does anyone know if GeoBlue is available for internationals? or just for US citizens ? I find their website not as easy to navigate, and not as easy to get a quote

    Weighing Travel Insurance Options

    I see everyone suggesting AXA, all I can find is trips no longer than 45 days; mine will be in total around 90 days, so...AXA is out of question apparently, unless someone has a way around

    Need help deciding to bring or not to bring

    Yes, I did check the sunrise time, but still, it's not pitch black before sunrise, so 6 am...I think will be doable. Plus, as someone else said: if I'm not sure I will need it or I'm bringing it for "just in case" then don't. So I'm not. If I end up waking up to leave at 4:30 and I can't see...

    Need help deciding to bring or not to bring

    I'm unlikely to bring any type of knife tools, I'm traveling overseas, so...I will buy tiny scissors at a pharmacy and that's it. No point in investing in a Swiss army tool that I can't bring back home anyway.
