Time of past OR future Camino
I am planning to walk the Camino for the first time, from Leon to Santiago, starting in mid-January 2016!
Hi all,

I am conducting a short(ish) 25 question survey on pilgrim experiences of the Camino for my university dissertation and need responses!

It is a mixture of multiple choice and open ended questions so you can take as long or as short amount of time as needed! Responses would be much appreciated.

For more information or to take part, please go to - https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/W5K67J8

Many thanks and Bien Camino!

Promote your Camino Project on the forum
€2,-/day will present your project to thousands of visitors each day. All interested in the Camino de Santiago.
Camino Ready, Backpacks, Boots etc
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
Done.
Good luck, Chloe!
I assume by now you've walked yourself? If not, please consider a little summer 'field work' ...a month or so will give you many opportunities to do face to face interviews, beginning with yourself!
 
Done. I suppose that, as a student on anthropology, you are familiar with the concept of "participant observation". Well, do it, as suggested above.
A methodological note: it is possible that members of this forum does not represent your "average pilgrim", but those more enthusiasts, and also more compromised with the "Camino spirit"
Most pilgrims are still Spanish, with sizeable groups of Portuguese, Italians, Germans and, recently, Koreans. See the stats from the Compostela archbishopric.
Good dissertation!
 
Camino Preparation Guide
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
I hope all these "student surveys" we are regularly asked to fill are not for original Ph. D work or else they risk being onsolete the minute they are defended. Ans don't forget to add a "does not apply" or "do not know" answer option. But your questions about what walkers communicate about were interesting, I just can't remember what I chatted about...

Thank you so much for all of your replies! I do know surveys are very annoying so I really appreciate your responses!
Bien Camino
 
A pleasure to have such a well thought out and original survey to fill in - it made me think and brought back such fond memories.

Thanks.

Done. Interesting. You could possibly have made some of the answer boxes multi-line, to encourage more response eg. for the story question.

Done.

I found several of the questions, taken at face value, to be phrased in such a way as to appear to have a bias and not a neutral, objective perspective. Possibly there is an objective or context for the question that isn't readily apparent to the respondent, but I found one question particularly off-putting, and I noted it as such in my response.

Done. Post up the study when done
 
Done. There are two questions I would have liked to have answered:
1. What was your mental attitude a week after returning home, and
2. Do you intend on doing it again?

Good luck.
 
Get a Spanish mobil number + data while on the Camino
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
Another completed. A very well composed set of questions - they made me think about those 4 weeks. Good luck with your doctorate/masters?
 
Done.
 
2024 edition: The Brierley Camino Frances Guide
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
Tried to do it but the survey is now closed apparently. Let us know if you're planning to reopen it and I'll happily fill it in.

New Original Camino Gear Designed Especially with The Modern Peregrino In Mind!
Seems the survey is still closed ... Any updates on that? SY
 
Thank you so much for all of your answers! Unfortunately I have begun to analyse my data so I cannot reopen the survey, but thank you everyone for participating! I will definitely post up my results when I have finished!
Many thanks and Bien Camino!
