I recommend
1) flip flops to cool down your feet and to use when you take a shower, e.g.) https://amzn.to/3bmX2Pf
2) ear plugs, e.g.) https://amzn.to/33HpE2T
3) and warm and welcoming heart to new friends.
I believe you can get other items on the way or your friends will help you to walk...
I am 65 kg (143 pound?). I bought a flight ticket to Pamplona on a Friday and left for Saint Jean on the coming Monday (3 days later)o_Oo_Oo_O. I should have prepared well. But my heart wanted to start the Camino right away🥰🥰🥰🤩🤩🤩. I was not ready but I learned how to pack day by day on the way.
Right. Simple is the best. I sometimes need a book or web site because too much information make me confused, too. :):):). Trials and errors seem to work by packing over and over 🥰🥰🥰
I mostly collected information from web sites by searching "camino de santiago" or some friends read books in advance. What was your case?
