This is not my list but one I have crossed paths with several times. It is from a commercial site in North America so there are a number of references for that part of the World. So, take a look and see if it teaches...
Ok, I have now been home 6 full days. After falling on May 5, head first down a spiral staircase in Paris, just leaving the Hostel for the train station, I had to miss that morning train. After laying on a couch in the hostel common area for nearly an hour, waiting for a taxi / ambulance, I...
A new rain kilt was shown here a few weeks ago and I ordered one immediately from China. It is light, (nylon, though I first thought it to be cuben), with a velcro belt allowing for a proper fit. It falls below the knees which is just perfect. Did I say it is very light? It is replacing a pair...
A wonderful British chap has created a number of videos including pilgrimage preparation, logistics, packing and my most recent find of his is a short list of 5 or 6 videos on Spanish for Pilgrims. Most main topics are covered and words / phrases are provided in written form so they can be...

I have posted this link before and do hope that the Series of video logs provided by Efrem Gonzalez as he traversed the CF in the Summer of 2017, will provide important daily insights to all Pilgrims as they progress on their own journey.
Not only will you find great information as you go but...
Now that both of my Parents have paased, I felt it important to begin my pilgrimage on Mother's Day, May 13/18. This will ensure that I will be near the end on Father's Day, June 17/18.
A friend, Mony Dojeiji, lives in Ottawa, Canada and is a Caminoist. Here is a copy of a post I received from her on Facebook;
Announcing...my new book "Walking Alone: a pilgrim's guide to the inner journey"! :-D

Hello Everyone. I am Michelle and I live in Canada, new to this Forum.
The Camino Frances will be my first Camino experience. I do not know when I will go but I know I will. At this time I am caregiver for my Mum, 89, and cannot see going on this trip until it is easier to do so.
