I've finally decided to show my face after lurking around the past couple of months to gather some much needed advice. I want to say hi and thank you to everyone for providing so much valuable advice, experience, and some hilarious entertainment! I'll be flying from Toronto to Paris in exactly three weeks and getting to SJPP on April 18 to start walking the next day. My feelings have been regularly fluctuating between extremely excited to super nervous, but overall I feel like I'm ready for it (this will probably change about 5km into the walk :lol: ). Hopefully I'll run into some of you in a few weeks!

Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
I will be one day behind you so look out for the badge on my backpack. Im getting butterflies in my tummy every time i think about it which is pretty much every waking hour! :)
 
€2,-/day will present your project to thousands of visitors each day. All interested in the Camino de Santiago.
Hi Daniel, we'll be in SJPDP on the 18th as well. Look out for 2 Aussie girls.
 
Awesome! I can't wait to start. Trish, I think about it all the time too. I'm glad I'm not the only one obsessing about it.
 
Daniel,

i will be a couple of days ahead of you however we may meet as I am scheduling a rest day every week.

Look for the Forum patch on my pack plus the Aussie flag!!

The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
We will also be on the camino around the same time. Leaving Melbourne 18 April, arriving in SJDP 21April, and setting out the following day. Like everyone, we are super excited, amongst other emotions. Looking forward the journey and meeting new friends. Can''t believe we are finally down to 3 weeks. Woohoo...
Buen camino.

Lex and Judy.

I will be staying in Orisson on the 20th April too :) fingers crossed that the weather is in our favour. See you there.

Looks like a lot of you will have some kind of a pilgrim patch. Keep an eye out for my blue and purple backpack with a canadian flag as well. Hope to see some of you there, and if not, have a great trip!
 
Hi Trish and Daniel,

Oops. I got my dates mixed up :oops: There's a good start to this trip, lol. I’ll be arriving in SJPDP on the 20th in the evening. I will be at Orisson on the 21st. So I’m one day behind you! We might still run across each other!

Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

€83,-
And I'll be seven days behind - like yourself really getting nervous but very excited, just want to do it now after all this time it being in my head :D
