    Women on the camino!

    Nichola - Have you skipped the sugar pills before? If not, try it before you go to see how your body reacts. I have done it, but I definitely pay the price during the next cycle - and I still spotted, so I didn't really gain much. For other women, it works great though.

    Women on the camino!

    I use OB tampons - because they don't have an applicator, they are very small and pack easily. Worked well on the Camino.

    20 yr old female solo?

    We walked in June and there were a lot of younger people walking - mostly university students on summer break. I think it's a great experience for everybody - young adults especially. Once you are a pilgrim, you are always a pilgrim - it's part of your identiy - and I think that becoming a...

    A College Girl's Camino Packing List

    Me too. I wore the baseball-style cap most of the time because it is more comfortable for me, but on hot, sunny days, I really liked the wide brim hat. On cold and/or wet days, the baseball cap was better because I could snug my hood up around my cap, while still having the brim to keep the...

    A College Girl's Camino Packing List

    Here are my thoughts: Socks - bring an extra pair. They are light and don't take up much space - in August, it could be very hot, and you may want to change your socks more often than you think. Undies - also an extra pair for the same reasons. Sleeping bag - leave it at home, bring a...

    Are there any pilgrims currently in Madrid,

    I hope your pack has found you :) If you've got to hang around someplace, Madrid isn't a bad place to be.

    Am I being naive?

    I don't think that people plan for years as much as anticipate the Camino for years - until they are in a place where they can take the time to do it. As others have said, planning is minimal. Get your gear, make your travel arrangements, go. Maybe make reservations for your first night...

    Meeting people beforehand

    This is terrific advice.

    We're all signed up

    Congratulations on making your plans and Buen Camino! We knew a couple people on the Camino who booked a package with baggage transport and all of that. Overall, I think it was a good choice for them. We are not going back until 2016, so until then, I am just hanging out on the board...

    Leon to Santiago

    We are going do walk from Leon to Santiago (leave for our Camino in less than 2 weeks!) We have planned 14 -15 days for the walk - so an average of about 20 km per day, or 12-13 miles. We think we can probably do it in fewer days, but don't want to push ourselves unnecessarily. If we get to...

    Hawaiians on the Camino 3rd week of June, 2014.

    We are also walking next month in celebration of my 40th birthday! We start the beginning of the month though, so we won't see you on the way. I just wanted to say "hey" :)

    Starting Late May 2014 in SJPP

    I have a Leatherman-style pocket knife with a cork screw. I got it for the other practical things, such as the knife and scissors, but I suspect the cork screw will be the most used implement on the thing ;) We are starting from Leon on June 5, so we might run into each other. You'll have...

    Class of 2014

    Hello Class of 2014 :) My husband and I will be walking in October/November 2014 to celebrate my 40th birthday. He turned 40 last year and we did a 2 week Beer Pilgrimage in Germany and Czech Republic. Ok - so it was a trip that I planned myself and just called it a Pilgimage, but we did...
