    Has any pilgrim decided to move to Spain?

    How's it going? Are you right on a Camino? Thanks for sharing....

    Has any pilgrim decided to move to Spain?

    Hi! I have many years experience working for big company brands so have built up my resume over 15 years and can work remotely in this new world of ours. I also followed my favorite boss (align yourself to someone who knows what you're capable of and who can make things happen) to a new company...

    Has any pilgrim decided to move to Spain?

    I think every word of this is perfect insight, gleaned from someone in the middle of it all. I appreciate the real talk. I'm gonna keep reading this a few times and get grounded, but really perked up about having feet in both worlds, about not idolizing the Way, and interesting to see your...

    Has any pilgrim decided to move to Spain?

    Amazing. Do you find you're in a state of Camino essence living right on it? Can you describe what's rewarding about it? Looking for the invisible things, the feelings :)

    Has any pilgrim decided to move to Spain?

    So many responses to read! Cannot wait to dive in. Just to clarify: The offer is for an American-based company (with visa sponsorship) with offices in a few European cities, so I'll be paid in local currency but they'll handle all that. I'm fluent in Spanish and have lived abroad before so aware...

    Has any pilgrim decided to move to Spain?

    Heard about this visa! My friends are on it in Valencia and loving life. Absolutely LOVE this quote. You're right. Just go, figure it out, or let destiny provide. Done. Ok, ok, I'm done thinking about it. Just needed a push hahahha. THANKS!

    Has any pilgrim decided to move to Spain?

    That was my fear, like will I always want to just follow the pilgrims out of town haha, or can it feel like a real little city where I volunteer and work, and yes, walk, even out of my own town. I do wonder though about the balance. Would love to hear from others about the reality of actually...

    Has any pilgrim decided to move to Spain?

    Hi pilgrims, I'm wondering about anyone who's decided (or trying to decide) to go and live in Spain alongside the Camino. I have a job opportunity (remote w/visa) and am considering a life in Pamplona or Burgos. Does anyone live there now and do you feel close to the Camino and the passing...

    An alternative system for Albergues

    Oh no. I don't plan my Caminos. I don't check reviews or prices. I just go. I don't train. I just walk. Mighty slowly sometimes. Pools? Where? There is no planning ahead and strategizing for me (recognizing this isn't for everyone!). I prefer to let destiny guide me. I've walked it 6 times and...

    An alternative system for Albergues

    I hope there never comes a day where anything is automated on the Camino. I think a lot of us go there for the simplicity of just living and relying on the goodness of the universe. Whenever I haven’t found a bed, something always worked out. That’s the beauty of the Camino. Automation defeats...

    What is open on Camino Frances in Winter?

    Absolutely beautiful description of what it'd be like, also considering. Thank you so much for taking the time to write this all down.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Is the mask required in the albergue and while sleeping?

    I look forward to the day when everyone is in crowded bunk beds again with snoring coming from every corner because then it'll mean that the worst has past and we'll all be together again, snoring and all ;)

    Camino Primitivo May 1st, 2022

    Yes! If you've got the time and the will, go slow, saunter across the land, meet all the people, stop by a stream, and enjoy every step. Buen Camino!

    How many pairs of shoes did you go through?

    I walked nearly 1,000 miles from Le Puy to Santiago in these. Broke through to the foam layer but they carried me through!

    Same Camino over and over again

    I once met an elderly French man on the Chemin somewhere in France and he told me he had walked it 26 times. I asked him why, and he said, "Well, I've never met you, have I?" It's about the people, the caring, the discoveries, the ancient path worn thin by all the soles and souls who've walked...

    Fear of heights and the Way from Le Puy

    One last chime-in! I do not recall any cliffs or situations like steep drops when I walked from Le Puy to Saint Jean all alone. I would have remembered that. Now crossing the Pyrenees I remember vast views, but nothing from Le Puy to the border. Bon chemin!!
