    While Waiting to Walk - What are you doing?

    Reno, Nevada area ... so, too far to walk to Sac, but hoping to walk in Spain as soon as it's possible :)

    Has anyone done anything 'new' since lockdown?

    I started selling skincare and nutrition products in August ... well, since I don't sell very much yet at this stage, I 'share' about skincare, etc. I used to use the example of the acquaintances that I knew from college that did this as people who needed to prove that they had something useful...

    Breakfast in France

    Maybe he gets discounts 😆

    Bed bugs while in confinement

    Having dealt with bed bugs three times, twice in an apartment when other tenants moving in brought them with them, I would say if she does have them the most likely place would be the books that were unpacked. After my place was treated the second time, 7 or so months later I went through a box...

    Usernames, real names, and Zoom

    I think it helps to refer to people in the Forum by their Forum names, otherwise it would be a lot harder to put a post with who posted it, etc. when going through threads.

    Nationalities on the Camino

    I think a lot of the reason people from the US are more specific about where they are from has to do with different states being created for completely different reasons at different times. Nevada has the motto 'Battle-Born' because it was created during the Civil War to add another state to...

    Doing the Camino in style

    One of my favorite quotes is from Mark Twain - "Clothes make the man; naked people have little or no influence on society." As for myself, I have found myself very uncomfortable at times wearing clothes that were not mine, and didn't end up really reflecting me, or, not fitting me the way I...

    When did you first become 'camino conscious'?

    My father is an Anglican priest, and at some point in the 90s, when I was a teenager, he and another priest were happily watching a treasured (by the other priest) video clip of the botofumerio (sp?) swinging, while pointing out to me what was so exciting, particularly that it was so heavy, the...

    10 rules for not upsetting EVERYONE in the Albergue... add your own

    This would probably be less applicable on the Camino, but from a situation my friends and I experienced once in a hostel, I would add, "If you must share a bed with someone [when you paid for two] please do not kiss them every 10 seconds for 4 consecutive hours." It makes drifted off to sleep...

    Why does everyone have an opinion!

    I don't agree with any of these things. I haven't done the Camino yet, but I am the type to get worried about anything in the future that I could possibly need to be ready for ... and that is why I am on this Forum, to find out people's experience of what it is like. If you feel called to the...

    The Next Generation of Peregrino

    My father had to dig up part of our backyard to lay some pipe when I was that size. He laid pallets over where he had dug and I felt like I was walking on little bridges.

    Fitness after the Camino

    I have not done the Camino yet, but since I have been thinking about it for a few years already, I started the last year to prepare for the transition to and from as much as possible. A lot of this involves simplifying my closet ... but also connecting exercise goals with what will hopefully be...

    Hair

    I like my hair either very long or very short (see picture, lol) in general, but for low-maintenance and simplicity, I prefer it very long. When it is long, it can dry when I am sleeping, and I don't have to comb it. I can put it up in 20 seconds. I feel much better with it up. When it is...
