    Camino Family Experience

    Yes, I agree. Not family, with all its connotations good and bad but connections. The brief connections I experienced, the kindness and charity, to me, make the Camino special. I’ll never forget the warmth of many locals, the help offered when needed by fellow pilgrims and the sense of a shared...

    Social anxiety

    Set yourself small goals of doable social interactions like smiling at one person a day or saying Buen Camino once a day. If that is not possible is nodding at someone who greets you doable? Set no further expectations for yourself than that. When that feels reasonably comfortable then up the ante.

    Bed bugs

    Hi, fellow Aussie here. I’m not sure if I encountered bedbugs on the Camino but… I did spray everything at the end and washed all cloth in 60 degrees at the laundromat at Santiago de Compostela.
