    I'm so discouraged!

    I found that wearing a pair of liner socks under my hiking socks was very helpful. The extra layer absorbed the friction instead of my skin. The ones I have are a nylon blend and then I wear Cool Max socks. I also put a thin layer of Vaseline on my feet. There is also an excellent YouTube...

    Multipurpose shoes for shower and town?

    I use flip flops by Archies. They are good quality flip flops that have arch support, the straps are molded as part of the shoe so they are less likely to snap and there is a mild heel cup. They are waterproof too. I have 3 pairs. They are in men’s & women’s sizing. They also just launched a...

    Cell phone use in Spain

    No, it’s not a second slot. It requires no physical Sim for e-sim. In settings you switch it. You can buy a local eSim from a local provider or from an eSim company like Airalo or Holafly. Here is the Wikipedia link about eSims. Your phone would allow it. I’d still double check with your cell...

    Travel health insurance for canadian

    World Nomads has quite good coverage at reasonable prices. I used them before I got out of country medical insurance through my work. You can get a quote on the website easily too. Good luck.

    Overweight on the Frances?

    When I walked the Camino Frances form SJPDP in fall 2019 I called myself (not in a derogatory way, more an accurate description of myself) as the “short, slow, fat pilgrim” (I do carry a lot of extra weight but it hasn’t held me back). Plus I walked for my 50th birthday. Was I in shape...

    Video- How to STOP being a Chubby Pilgrim

    Health is good, yes of course. There are many factors in health & we are individual so our health needs are as well. Yet diet culture (which sadly, society has accepted as normal) tells us that only one body size can be healthy & all the others are not. Diet Culture says we have no health, value...

    Video- How to STOP being a Chubby Pilgrim

    Oh my goodness. Aren’t you all sick & tired of Diet Culture? The toxicity of it? No persons should be judged or told that they can’t do something because of their size. One’s weight does not determine their health or ability. Diet culture really is a toxic dangerous thing. I wish we would change...

    Pole Tip Protectors - A Serious matter - There are tips and tips

    So great to have all these recommendations. I went through all my tips too when I walked the Frances using the set of 3 that came with my poles. I did learn partway through that I’m supposed to remove them when going over gravel & rocky terrain so the metal tips can dig into the ground for...

    Forum Book Club - Getting started, with book nominations

    I have a few suggestions for the next list. The first Camino book I read was “What the Psychic Told the Pilgrim” by Jane Christmas. She’s a Canadian author. It’s has some humour to it too. The second is a fiction book based on the author’s experiences - “Rebirth: A Fable of Love, Forgiveness...
