"Buen camino" - my dream

What an interesting question... Before my Camino, I had to ask myself "what is spiritual?" I am (was?) an atheist. Does spiritual mean something of a realm independent of reason or science? Things happened to me on the Camino that I will never be able to explain in those terms- coincidences...

Introduction and in dire need of feedback on tour vs. solo w

Hi Kate! The best answer I can give you, based on my own experience, is that you may arrive alone, but you always have the option to share the experience once you're there. Remaining alone may actually be the challenge. In a tour, someone else attempts to generate a particular experience with...

Sleeping outside

Thanks! I've decided to bring a thermarest, which is cheap and super light, because I know I'll sleep better that way. If it turns out I don't have to use it, I'll leave it somewhere or give it away. I have slept on hardwood floors, cement and grass in my life, the latter being the only...

Sleeping outside

Weather permitting and if the hostels are full and I can't afford a hotel (which I can't, by the way, at the prices I've been reading on here :shock: ) MAY I sleep outside? How common is this?

new pilgim..anyone off to festival of st sara? foot advice?

Flip Flops I would just like to recommend good old Brazilian Havaianas flip-flops for all-purpose schlepping around, even walking for a while if your feet are hot. They are the best flip-flops I've ever used, and I consider them the fine products of Brazilian beachwear engineering. They seem to...

Sleeping outside

Hi XM, I'm leaving 2 weeks from today! Not sure if I should get a sleeping bag or just a liner. Everyone says a liner should suffice with late May-June temperatures, but I think sleeping in the rocks without some fluff underneath may be a bit rough. Does everyone bring a sleeping bag? Any big...

Sleeping outside

Hello, I'm trying to make St. Jean PdePort-Santiago in 28 days...if I walk farther than most daily traffic, what are the chances I'll be sleeping alone outside? Just need to buy the appropriate sleep gear. Thanks!!!

Michigan Pilgrim- Leaving 5/20- help!

Bilbao Thanks, everyone! I can't express how helpful you've all been. I'll be walking alone, so if anyone sees a 20-something American (we stick out like a sore thumb) with very short blond hair, shout "Emily"! Isn't the internet great? Our Camino starts here.
