    Starting in 5 days and close to panic!

    I simply love it!! So many things happened already and this is day 2! People are nice, food and wine is great, my legs are muuuuuch stronger then I thought and today I've walked to Zubiri as quickly as in my trainings (where I had no backpack on *yeahh*) My mood is up, my head is high, my...

    Starting in 5 days and close to panic!

    Oh wow! :eek: Reading all your lovely, heart warming and supporting comments is just the greatest way to start a day (Could get used to this boost :)) I don't know what to say, really thankful for these upliftings - that helped a lot. Feeling much more positiv and energised now! It's just...

    Starting in 5 days and close to panic!

    Hello everyone, This forum is by far the greatest source available to prepare yourself for the Camino. I got fabulous advice, awesome tips & tricks and useful input I haven't even thought about yet. :) I have all my gear packed and ready to go - if there wasn't my heart beating faster every...

    Alert button is so tiny

    I simply press "Alerts" twice, then it "shows all" as well ;)

    US travel alert

    I am feeling very safe. I would never limit my freedom. We all have to die once and this lies in God's hands. Shall I somehow become a victim of terror, I at least can say "I have lived". :) Source: http://www.datagraver.com/case/people-killed-by-terrorism-per-year-in-western-europe-1970-2015

    Starting my first Camino

    random side note: starting my Camino on May 15, so we might bump into each other ;) Shall you see a big red back pack with a "Fritzi" label on it - that's me :) And PS: I've booked Roncesvalles in advance, just be be on the safe side for the first day. You might want to do this as well.

    A disappointing day

    Reading this story makes me really angry. How rude can people be. But you never know what happened before, I am pretty sure you weren't the reason for his misbehaviour. There must be something else and you were maybe just the trigger of his anger. But this of course doesn't justify it at all...

    Sim Card Questions

    Some feedback in bold ;) One site explained: it's 30 days; 35 Euros; 6GB data; at 4G speed; 30 mins voice. Assuming this includes unlimited text, right? Texting is how people make plans and keep in touch in the modern world right? Yes, but mostly I would say WhatsApp. Or does no one bother with...

    Best ways to organize one's pack

    I have a lot of these stuffed bags, mash bags and compression bags. This is a way to organise stuff in my pack and make it easier for me to find (e.g. jacket in the green one, medicals in the red one, etc). Furthermore it allows me to shift things easier that the weight is distributed evenly in...

    Looking For A Fellow Traveler To SJPP

    Hi Lisa, I am starting May 15, so I guess the chances are pretty high that we'll meet. If you see a big red backpack with a "Fritzi"-label on it, please stop and say hi ;)

    Pesticides On The Camino Frances

    What you have seen might not be pesticides but a very normal form of fertiliser very common here in Europe. Couldn't really found the right english word for it (might not exist?! - in German it's called "Gülle") and is a mixture of excrements and urine of animals, mostly of cows. It stinks like...

    Travel with Electronics - New Alert

    Smart- and mobile phones shall be fine, the rest (tablets, notebooks) just need to be checked in. As far as I've heard it's only flights to and from the US from/to certain Arabian countries.

    Poncho choice

    Hi Welly, I have this Sea-to-Summit Poncho: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00HUL26AE/?tag=casaivar-21 It's a little bit on the expensive side, but has several advantages: - fits easily over a backpack - is ultra light and super small - can be transformed into a tarp with your pole sticks (good...

    Ok, I had to google this, I am too curious :D I assume you mean this?

    walking it solo

    I am walking alone as well and to be honest, I am so much looking forward to do something just solely by myself. Not having to talk to colleagues I am not even interested in, not having to listen to another guy story from my single friends, not hearing any stupid, propaganda news story or having...

    a final request

    Redmerle, it is so wonderful what you are doing for your friend. Heartwarming, sad but still puts a smile on my face ;) I think Sarria is a great start and the CF the right choice as mentioned before (infrastructure, accommodation, restaurants, special services). Try to include/note some...

    Having Second Thoughts

    I remember the time when I was your age and left home to go to school in Toronto (family stayed in Germany). The first 2-3 days I was really home sick as it was, too, the first time I've ever been on my own. But that quickly changed as I met so many nice people and got totally distract from even...

    Camino for Koreans

    I think it doesn't matter at all from wich country they are coming from. And many people walking the Camino don't do it for a religious reason. There are so many more (spirituell, meeting new friends, doing the challenge, fleeing from a hectic environment, job stress,...) Everybody, irrespective...
