    Did movie: "The Way" motivate you...

    Hei everyone, I didn't see the movie 'The way' 'til after I decided to go. Then I just wanted to see and learn all about this walk. Thank you, Heather, for your tips on other documentary's. Very good. I watched them last night. Maybe I should stop doing that, watching everything about this trip...

    Married, spouse can't commit time...help!

    Hi skiingEngineer, I agree with what the others have said before me about your dilemma. Not easy to comment from the outside on what is a wise decision. Just wanted to add my thoughts: why do you feel you want to walk the Camino? What is your aim? (Besides arriving in Santiago in one piece ;)...

    panicking today!!!

    Hi Annie, I hadn't checked your age and I certainly didn't mean that you were a 'live'veteran! Just saw you had been walking to Santiago a few times ;)

    panicking today!!!

    Thanks Annie, it's nice to hear some reassuring words from 'veterans'. I have been walking a lot, in the mountains, but never alone. And never for a whole month. As you say, I am really looking forward to it! In my previous experiences it was as you describe; once you're on your way, you just...

    I hated yesterday

    If you guys are interesting in reading about other peoples walking aroudn the world ( Iam!), then you should definitely check out this book by Rory Stewart, 'The Places in between'. Here is some info on it: 'In January 2002 Rory Stewart walked across Afghanistan-surviving by his wits, his...

    panicking today!!!

    Thank you, Domigee and Falcon269, for your kind replys. I have not bought anything new for this trip (apart from a poncho which I'm not sure I will take and I'm looking for a new Mp3 player which will hopefully play a bit longer than half an hour ;) ). Think I'll be having this moments of worry...

    panicking today!!!

    Hey So now i'v also booked my ticket (one-way) to SJPdP. I'll be arriving the 12th of may. Setting out the next day for Santiago. Can't say I have really cold feet, but reading all these tips and ideas about what and what not to bring and wear makes me a bitt nervous! Makes me wonder if I...

    Coffee in the morning...

    Thank you for the abundant and quick replies! Doesn't make me less concerned tough about being able to maintain my good mood in the morning ;)! Getting rid of this coffee addiction was not on the plan, for starters, but I might have to consider it a possibility anyway... Might take a chance on...

    Coffee in the morning...

    Hi to you all, I have a question concerning my most important morning ritual: I just won't wake up or start a day without a cup of coffee! (and a cigarette, but that won't be so difficult to arrange ;) ). So my question to all of you who have walked Camino Frances before is: are there...

    To Christopher: it sounds like you really need a time out for yourself! I am sorry for you difficult situation right now. I am not in a fantsastic period of my life either, and keep remembering myself that what doesn't kill me makes me stronger. Maybe that might be something for you to remember...

    Hey Stefania thanks for your welcoming words. Yes, I intend to start from SJPdP. Might be a slight change of plan in how much time I've got to walk, but eventually Santiago is my goal! And if I will walk very slow I might have to come back another time to finish! I still keep all open. Are you...

    Class of 2014

    Hey Larry from Sydney, I'm starting from SJPDP! So there will be a big chance we meet. I have no clue as to how fast or far I'll be walking on a day (might be that I've become a bit rusty ;) ).... I have no intentions or expectations from my walk on the Camino. Just to be away for a while from...

    Class of 2014

    Hei everybody of the class of 2014 (and others interested!), I'm a new member to this forum, although I've been reading a lot on it since several weeks now. I plan to start my tour on the Camino on may 14th. I'm in between jobs (no, correction: I lost my old job and am still looking for a new...
