    Do you think trip insurance is necessary?

    Absolutely! The costs of medical evacuation and aftercare can be huge. Skimping on insurance is, in my opinion, a false economy. Sorry if this isn’t the answer you wanted to hear...

    Camino Ended, Sadly

    Sending you commiserations (having broken my wrist twice in the last 10 years) and good wishes for speedy healing. It’s no fun being in plaster, and the comfort and support of your home environment will help you to mend. The Camino will wait for you, too...
