    Blogs & book authors, are you walking to write them?

    I'm a freelance writer, so of course when I walked last year I had "well, maybe I'll pitch it to someone" in the back of my head, but that wasn't the purpose of my trip. I wanted to experience it for myself. If there was a story to be told, then great, but I didn't manufacture one while I was...

    When you say "calling ahead..."

    Sarah, a buen camino to you as well and hopefully we will meet on the path! Thanks for the information and assurances all. Whenever I embark on a new adventure I like to do tons of research as preparation, which is great, but sometimes can lead me down a rabbit hole that only creates new...

    As a rule, what Americans view as a nail salon (and its accompanying services) is vastly different from what Europeans consider a nail salon. And believe me, I loooooove my gel manis and spa pedis. In my travels throughout Europe, every opportunity I've had to get my nails done as been a...

    September 2014 Peregrinos

    Greetings! I'll be embarking on my first Camino in September, likely starting from Burgos or Leon (that is still being internally debated) on the 23rd, hopefully making it to Santiago by October 14. Once I've committed to my starting point, I will update!

    To go with my partner or go it alone???

    There are a lot of things to take into consideration: has she already heard of the Camino and has thought of doing it herself already? Or does she just want to to do it because you're doing it? Does she like to even walk? But the fact that you've already expressed hesitation and have even taken...
