    Safety for young women travelling alone

    I don't think she looks 12, and if she does look younger than she is that shouldn't define her---its probably something she already has to deal with too much as it is (people underestimating her because she looks younger than she is). I try not to judge by age in general (I had camino friends...

    Safety for young women travelling alone

    I'd also like to add that the camino would be entirely safe for a woman to walk alone. And if you are 18 or older go for it. Don't worry about your parents (other than to assure them you are safe and direct them here). The worst thing that happened to my generation was helicopter parents.

    Safety for young women travelling alone

    Whoa, people are making this confusing by talking about/defending group showers in the same conversation as mixed gender showers. Let me state for the record that I have never heard of a communal/open shower with both genders, and I highly doubt you would run into one on the camino. I am a...

    Mom walking with her 14 year old son

    Before I walked I walked I was really worried about being seen nude by the opposite gender, but I found: 1) while most dorms were co-ed, you could always change in the shower 2) you did occasionally see other people change out in the open 3) but no one was like having sex or having drugs 4) most...

    Thanks for all of your detailed advice, lists, links, etc. I really, really appreciate it. I wasn't actually worried about safety (having been to Spain and Czech as a study abroad) but wanted direct reassurance I could quote to give my parents :) You know parents :) I feel a lot better...

    Do you know which are co-ed with no curtains/doors? Eeek. Are those common enough that I should maybe pack a swimsuit to shower in? But even then, where could I change into it? By translucent doors, how translucent are we talking about? Are the curtains fairly covering? If I stick to...

    So you are saying the men's were separate from the women's and had doors. (I was asking which, but it sounds like its both)

    Thanks for the confidence! Define separate please? Do you mean separate as in men vs women or separate as in curtains/doors. If I had to pick I'd rather wide open, no privacy but a separate, totally private room for all women......than have a "private stall" with a semi private curtain or...

    What 'qualifies' as a pilgrimage in terms of breaking up the

    all that officially matters is that you do the last 100 km uninterrupted and document it. The rest is all up to you.
