Have you considered the extra weight carrying a laptop?
I even leave my Kindle at home..
And regarding wifi on the Camino...there seems to be even more wifi than yellow flechas.
Good luck!
Haha I love your honesty. Okay, good one to consider. Are you taking all your stuff with you, everywhere you go? I kind of trust everyone quite easily, so I'm quite forgetful and just put my stuff everywhere I am not...Well, as long as you don't mind taking your laptop into the shower with you. And the toilet. Any everywhere else you go.
I think a laptop will be safer on the Camino than taking it with you to DisneylandNo, not everything, but everything of real value. So I take my smartphone (and wallet and passport) into the shower with me, in a waterproof bag. And everywhere else. People on the Camino are generally honest but it is not Disneyland and a laptop lying around would be a big temptation to some.
When are you going @Nienke91? I will be better able to answer your question after my grand daughter starts walking with hers. We are leaving SJPP on April 15. I think it is a horrible idea to have to lug the extra weight and concern ourselves with the extra security, but in her case, it is the only way that she can travel as she will be completing online classes for university. So for us it is worth it and there will be two of us to watch over it when showering, etc. It will be sent ahead to Ivar as soon as she no longer has the need for it (early May).
We will most likely see you in SJPP before you leave us in the dust. Your new plan does sound much better. Think "simple and safe". Buen Camino.I'm leaving SJPP at April 15th as wellI'll be walking by myself, so I guess I'll have to really re-think about what to bring. I'm currently thinking about extending my iPad mini with a keyboard, therefore I can connect my camera with Wi-Fi to the iPad and edit my drawings, photo's and videos on the iPad instead of a computer A compact camera, iPad mini and small phone is also easy to take with me everywhere I go (as in: the shower)...!
Leave it at home. Of ot's an old one it will weigh about a 25% of all the stuff you should be taking. Also, there no longer are internet cafes to be found.
Question: why blog? For others? If so, there are already so many lf them out there for people to learn about the Caminos. For yourself? To keep memories? Just live the Camino. The more you live it the more memorable it will be. The Camino is not about site seeing, it's about the process, and I would be afraid that as you spend all this time blogging away about distances and churches you walked by you will create a bubble that will cit you off from experiences, with others, and within yourself. There's something to be said about not having much to think about when on the Camino; funny things can happen, but only if you let them, and typing away and thinking about layout, and gathering info won't leave much room for that to happen.
Hi all,
As I'm planning to post blogs/vlogs/photos/short docu's on my website when walking the Camino, I want to bring my laptop. I have thought about using internet café's or my iPad, but I'd like to edit video's on my computer first. Even though it's an old one, I am worried about losing it. Is it safe to bring a (video)camera (compact camera) & laptop on the Camino?
And, how about internet? Is there often Wi-Fi available?
Nienke91, normally I would encourage you to consider the weight, but I can see your heart is truly going to be in this experience and especially as an artist, I would do what your heart says. Because of the weight, any 'would-be culprit' might think twice. I admire what you are doing and how you are thinking about life, both for yourself and others. Choose your own way. Wish you Buen Camino.Good question. To answer: I'm currently graduating at an interdisciplinary art school with an auto-ethnography on staying true to oneself and finding happiness. In addition to writing my thesis about this subject, I'm also implementing the theme 'auto-ethnography' on the final artistic outcome. I'm currently running an online, magazine for Dutch thirty-year-olds on spirituality, philosophy & art. It's a bit of a 'movement' that wants to break with all the perfect websites that focus on creating ego's (in my opinion). The autobiographical part of my graduation is the part where I'll try to find 'my' answer to what happiness means to me in life. For me, that has to do with my connection with Nature. I share my raw insights on life on the magazing using videosnacks (I don't like the term vlog), short documentaries, texts/poems, photography, drawings (whatever comes around). As an artist, I work multidisciplinary, but stories & holism is what drives me. So in a way, yes, I am framing the pelgrimage in a 'form'. I've always wanted to walk the Camino and now that I have a reason, it's easier for me to go. As an artist, I just want to share the experience with people that normally wouldn't be interested in spirituality (and the Camino). And yes, if my bag gets stolen or all my stuff breaks or life overwhelms me and I don't feel like sharing... I'm okay with that
Keep your nose in the computer and thinking about reporting back on finding happiness and yourself and you won't find the Camino, yourself nor happiness, you will just walk along others who are doing all that.answer: I'm currently graduating at an interdisciplinary art school with an auto-ethnography on staying true to oneself and finding happiness. ..

@Nienke91 - I agree with Kanga. You to devise a security device that will lock your backpack against all but the most determine thief. I have a travel pack that my backpack goes in when I send it as checked baggage. It can be locked - even secured to my bunk. But to paraphrase Kanga - anything that "can't be replaced" needs to be with you 24/7. As weight and size are a the major factor would one of the smaller notebook computers - with USB slots; photo memory cards slot, be an alternative??Haha I love your honesty. Okay, good one to consider. Are you taking all your stuff with you, everywhere you go? I kind of trust everyone quite easily, so I'm quite forgetful and just put my stuff everywhere I am not...
Hey, greetings from another artist. I carry 8kg on my back and that includes my (aging but trusty) Samsung nb30 notebook.Haha, yes I have considered it. That's why I ask. I love to work with the editing program on my computer and I use the laptop often for Photoshop, Indesign, and so on. I'm an artist that works mostly digital, so... I have the feeling I just have to take my precious laptop
ditto...So....
Something I would to ask people who think taking a computer or lap top is some how going to take away from the Camino Experience (same with social media)
Would you tell a painter to not take his/her sketch pad?
Would you tell a writer not to take a note book and pens?
I mention this because as digital artists, iPads, Notebooks and yes, even lap tops are how we work creatively. And the process of the adventure is also the process from which we draw our creative inspiration. Trust me - we will socialize and we will connect and we will get the "experience". We see everything - and often times more ;-) We know how to embrace solitude and to go deeply inward. We are almost always found in nature. As artists life IS the pilgimage. And we share <3 And yes, that sharing and connection extends into social media. It's who we are.
So....

I like my portable keyboard with my iPad. It works great and holds a charge for a really long time. It's much better idea than taking the laptop, imo. If you want to blog about your Camino go for it! Hike your own hike and don't let others try to tell you how you should experience it. I plan to blog mine too but I'm sticking to using my iPhone because I just don't want to carry another piece of electronics.I'm leaving SJPP at April 15th as wellI'll be walking by myself, so I guess I'll have to really re-think about what to bring.

Absolutely, if they were claiming to translate the Camino experience on paper or canvas. You need to live it first because you can express it, and by painting or writing, instead of living, you are not experiencing. You are just a person following others, watching others experience something you have pulled yourself away from.Would you tell a painter to not take his/her sketch pad?

I was going to suggest an iPad rather than a laptop. If uploading is essential, I'd make sure you have cellular on your iPad and that you get yourself an international plan. While most alburgues have wifi, I found that at a good percentage of them, say a quarter at least, the speed was awful, and at some you just couldn't get connected. Frankly, I was surprised at the sorry state of wifi in the Camino.I'm leaving SJPP at April 15th as wellI'll be walking by myself, so I guess I'll have to really re-think about what to bring.

I'll try to find 'my' answer to what happiness means to me in life. As an artist, I just want to share the experience with people that normally wouldn't be interested in spirituality (and the Camino).
First I hear about Hemingway having pilgrimaged across Spain hoping for some "Camino Magic". In fact, I would be surprised if he remembered a whole lot about his days in Spain considering his love for alcohol.If Hemmingway can traipse around Spain during the Spanish Civil War with a typewriter in his carpet bag then I reserve my right to use my iPhone for artistic endeavours! LOL!
Oh dear. Poor you. My first Camino in 2001 I didn't have a phone, even. I managed. Does the Camino NEED wifi? Does the world need yet another Camino blog?Frankly, I was surprised at the sorry state of wifi in the Camino
finding happiness
Here's the challenge, Nyienke...to be totally in nature. Just be. Without thinking about the experience, creating anything from it, or identifying with whatever response you have. Just let it live through you.For me, that has to do with my connection with Nature.
Therein lies a hook that creates a ton of stress.It's who we are.

Not sure I understand this comment. I thought the OP invited advice/opinionsRe-read the fifth sentence in Alaskadiver's msg....about hiking your own hike.

But Sabine, you are not walking for the purpose of writing. Very different than walking to produce a thing, especially one that is supposed to express what the walking would have been about, had you not ended up walking for producing the piece.I understand what you say but for me using the paper diary is almost a ritual , like I said it has a certain rhytm..
Here's another thought. If you get Apple's SD card reader that plugs into the Lightning port, you could upload your files without having to draw down your camera and iPad batteries. It's a lot faster than using wifi to boot. Also, if you got an iPhone Plus, you might be able to do everything you need with it and a Bluetooth keyboard.I'm leaving SJPP at April 15th as wellI'll be walking by myself, so I guess I'll have to really re-think about what to bring.

and that's a bad thing because? ha haFirst I hear about Hemingway having pilgrimaged across Spain hoping for some "Camino Magic". In fact, I would be surprised if he remembered a whole lot about his days in Spain considering his love for alcohol.
Hilarious the spiritual and philosophical musings directed towards the simple question of whether or not to haul around an electronic device.
It's just a laptop, people.
Here's the challenge, Nyienke...to be totally in nature. Just be. Without thinking about the experience, creating anything from it, or identifying with whatever response you have. Just let it live through you.
And then create, afterwards.
Walking the way without creating a story about the pilgrim who is doing it;
Resting in the peace that comes from letting life life through you without grasping it or creating a story about it;
Settling into the sounds and sensations of nature--the crunch of gravel underfoot, the breeze in your hair, the wetness of rain and warmth of the sun...
There is a very deep and quiet joy in presence that transcends simple happiness--and if you allow yourself to live that for a month and really let it in, the creative energy that comes as a result of that will likely be much more profound and powerful.
Therein lies a hook that creates a ton of stress.
Without our superficial identities that we put out to the world (however that happens, virtual or otherwise), who are we? Just in our skins, here and now.
The Camino is a chance to access that.
Take the risk. As an experiment in another way of creating, and to challenge habitual ways of being.
Leave it at home and see what happens.
If you never try you won't really know for yourself one way or the other.
and that's a bad thing because? ha ha
Papa's crude scrawling/carving of his name (intoxicated I am sure ha ha) on the piano at the hostel in Burguete. I opted to stay there instead of Roncesvalles in 2014. It was just another 3 km down the road.

Wow, I just woke up and I saw all these messages! AmazingLovely to read what everyone's opinion about my question is. Perhaps indeed I thought a bit too much about 'graduating art school' and fitting my camino in that framework. Hmm, a lot of thoughts to sort out. These are personal questions and I'll find an answer to it, I'm sure. But, because you all put so much effort in helping me, you might be interested in reading them (so you know that I've indeed read all your comments)?
Thank you all for your comments
- I do want to walk my camino and just walk, walk, walk and let go (however that works out)? Can I even combine the walk it with graduating?
- In addition, (maybe even on the contrary), my one and only passion in life is telling stories (mine and others). I don't feel so much for blogging/vlogging, because as most of you already noticed: many people have done that. But art + sharing is for me a way to reflect on what I experience (almost a meditative moment).
- How am I going to enable myself to 'create' whenever I feel I have to (and not because I feel 'I need to')?
- Last night, I've dived into the possibilities: taking my iPad (plus keyboard) & a drawing stylus + a small compact system camera with HD-video (therefore I can leave my bulky laptop & dslr at home). I'll just take a tiny phone with (just for emergencies, I'll leave my gigantic phablet at home). In total my equipment will weigh max. 2kg (including chargers/extra batteries).
- Okay, Wi-Fi... it will probably lead to 'Life happens while you're busy making other plans'. It's possible for me to uploads and photos via my camera to my iPad/iCloud, bút... only if the speed of the Wi-Fi is okay. And I read from your comments, that it's not haha. I'll have to prepare myself for that
Perhaps indeed only shoot the interviews/footage and edit them at home. Drawing/writing I can do without Wi-Fi.

It was nice. Simple accommodations, but nice. I had stayed in the albergue in Roncesvalles on a previous CF, and it was cool and all, but just wanted to do something different.

I didn't the time I stayed there, but sounds like it can be a popular place. Maybe a good idea to do so, if you know for sure what day you will be there.We are hoping to stay there Easter night. Do you think I should make a reservation?
Maybe check again at a later date when your Camino trip gets closer.Sadly I just took a look for the date I would be there and no room at the innI'll have to get my Hemmingway fix when I get to Pamplona ;-)
Elizabeth, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think you are the OP, and therefor not the person to whom people have responded. The OP asked a question, then explained why she is considering taking her laptop, and therefor yes, we do have a sens of what might be going on.Again - can I please ask that veterans on the forum not make assumptions about where a person is at or where they are going spiritually or creatively in terms of their Camino. You don't know me or even how I am planning on doing my Camino since I have not shared any of that on this forum. This isn't my first deep, long journey. It won't be my last. I trust in my own process. Please honour that. Isn't that what the Camino is about?
No-one is assuming anything. We're all just expressing where we're coming from, and nothing more than that. We all have different lives and vantage points; the OP asked for our opinions and so we offered them.Again - can I please ask that veterans on the forum not make assumptions about where a person is at or where they are going spiritually or creatively in terms of their Camino.

It's a nice place to have a drink, but definitely over priced for dinner. And strangely, they don't seem to promote the Hemingway bar, which is in a back room.Maybe check again at a later date when your Camino trip gets closer.
When I'm in Pamplona I always get a beer at Cafe Iruna. Popular Hemingway fan's bar/restaurant. I'm sure the place is overrated, but what the heck, I'm in Pamplona. Life's good.
yeah, I remember dinner there was nothing memorable, but it is kinda cool to go to the barIt's a nice place to have a drink, but definitely over priced for dinner. And strangely, they don't seem to promote the Hemingway bar, which is in a back room.

You can find decent wifi on the Camino, but you can't count on it. Likely you'll be able to eventually upload your work. It could be at the albergue or it could be at a coffeeshop. You never know.
