Is there a way to find friends pilgrims?

Hello everyone!

I wanna ask if someone know how to find friends pilgrims from my Camino expirience? We walked for a long time together through all the way, but suddenly we parted ways and we were unable to exchange our contacts. I wonder if I ask in some albergue where we were staying for names of pilgrims for current date, will they share that info?


Does somebody has a better idea how to find our friends pilgrims?

Thank you!
Happy Easter!

Hi!

I would second kanga's advice. I was also searching for a German pilgrim I met in 2011, but without success. Also sent e-mails to a few albergues that I know this person was sleeping in but no response from the staff. I guess they were so busy with pilgrims arriving each day. But you never know when the person you're searching for will join this forum

Ultreia!

KinkyOne, Kanga, thanks for your answers. I'll try to send some mail to these albergues, as you said you never know. Next time on the way I'll be more thorough!
If it is written, we will meet again.

Thank you fellows!

Hi V.
You never realise until later, some of the chance encounters that leave a mark, and you wish you'd got contact details.
Then again, I'd end up with a book full as they are all special when you walk through it again with your photos. Good luck with your search.
On a previous thread though /suggestion was to 'post a photo ' here of your camino friend.
Would also help to mention camino dates walked along with name, country of origin and main language spoken etc as above).

If anyone on this forum walked then, they may recognise him/her, and have the contact details . you may be lucky.

Annie, you are quite right about everything! It is a pity that we could not make even a single picture together, I shot a hundred pictures, but unfortunately only nature and beautiful views. The guys we met were from East Germany, 27-28 years old couple. I remember the name of the girl only, it was Andrea. We walked together from Rabanal del Camino to Melide the dates between 9 and 16 of September 2013. There were a lot of lovely people there I hope if someone recognize me or my girlfriend from picuters of our blog, they can say "Hi!". We will be very glad!

Thank you again for your responsiveness!

BR,

Ivar,
At the risk of institutionalizing the Camino is there some way by which this Forum could inform people at critical points along the way, the pilgrim office at SJPdP and other principal ones that the following forums (name them) are resources for "finding lost people"? Those of us who were lucky enough to find it beforehand are fortunate but there are many who are not even aware of it. I too am looking for an "Elaine" from either Oregon or Washington State who left suddenly last September after Villamayor de Monjardin because of a medical issue.
