    Potential Disappointment is Tough to Handle

    In 2013 I was 19 years old with glaucoma threatening to take the vision in both my eyes. I'd waited long enough to finally decide to get surgery that I was legally blind in my left. I'd thought that my situation was urgent, since I was losing sight rapidly and my right eye was still "good." They...

    Getting things off my chest post Camino Frances

    Peaceloving American...

    Aseos, WC, restrooms in the bar are not open to the public. I made the mistake of walking into a bar and using the restroom then leaving, some point after sarria or portomarin. The lady at the bar was not very happy as I walked out and carried on with my camino. But hey, sh*t happens.

    Just got home after finishing the Camino Frances

    In Zubiri without a way to withdraw money?

    I leave in 9 days. Last minute decisions for an overthinker!

    Hi everybody! I first posted on this forum last year when I decided I wanted to walk the Camino. When I was about to book my trip, medical issues came up and I was forced to store away my plans. That was May 2015, oh how time passes. I'm 22 and I'm nervous. This is my first trip out of country...

    Wow thank you so much everybody. I find things much more simpler with my choices narrowed :) I have 2 more questions: Can I bring my debit card along and convert my USD to euros somewhere along the way?

    Needing a little bit of reassurance/clarity

    Hi everybody. I plan to be in Spain from June 4th to July 18th, a total of 45 days. I haven't pulled the trigger on the plane ticket yet because I'm not sure if I should add a bit more if I wanted to get from madrid > sjpdp > muxia. Am I underestimating the Camino and should add a bit more...

    Questions from a soon-to-be Camino walker

    Hello everyone, my birthday is in May, so as a birthday present I'm buying a plane ticket to France to start at SJPDP, where my plan is to walk to Fisterra or Muxia. But I'm very new to traveling, I haven't even been on a plane since 6 years ago. I'm wondering if I should leave in Mid-late...
