    Where are all the Americans???

    This was one of the more strange threads I have read. People are people, American or European or Australian. You have all types. Assuming any one American is the stereotype on the Camino can really take take away the meaning of walking to begin with. I just finished Valenca Portugal to...

    14 days available, best route

    Have you considered the Camino Portugues? It's flatter, shorter, a bit easier? I only have five days and I'm walking from Valenca Portugal to Santiago and I'm no spring chicken :) I'm 51 walking with my friend that is 34! Good luck! Bom Caminho C

    Lost and Hopefully Find with the Camino

    Tommy, only you can make such a huge decision as to quit your job or not. I am 50 and think the same thing very often, since I am the only one that does what I do for my company, it makes it difficult to take time off. If you have five days off, especially if they are in between the weekends...

    Starting point?

    Time constraints is why I am walking the Camino Portugues from Valenca Portugal. From this point to Santiago, you can get your Compostela. I would guess there is a same type of starting point for the French Way. With my partner's father being from Portugal we wanted to do this Way...

    How do you manage to get out of work for 5 weeks?

    Almha, some people have started at the beginning of a camino, say in Lisbon, walked as far as their vacation allowed - say to Porto. They went home and came back and started at Porto to Valenca the next time. They went home and came back and started in Valenca to Santiago. As others have...

    How do you manage to get out of work for 5 weeks?

    You don't have to do it all at one time, so those of us that are still working full-time do partial walks. My walk in September 2012 along the Camino Portugues will be from Valenca to Santiago this time. When we can take more time, we plan on doing at least a bit of each Way. You can always...

    How do you manage to get out of work for 5 weeks?

    I read alot of posts and don't always respond. I have never agreed more. I turned 50 in October and am a working professional woman. September 2012 I am venturing on my first of many Caminos. I have learned that my expertise, education, knowledge, etc. will all be there and better accessible...
