Maybe off topic? New thread? Moderators?

Just returned home after five wonderful (and occasionally tough) weeks on the camino. Now tending to my neglected garden, I came to think how wonderful it would be to share reminiscences with others who have been on the camino.

This led me to think that I would be happy to accommodate 'camino' persons in my home (in the Copenhagen area). I think that those who have been on the camino – however different, differing in views and ages – may have a common denominator. I have consistently met wonderful, thoughtful and considerate persons on my camino (and in this forum) – and I would like to pay back in some way.

Just a thought – and a question of whether others have had the same thought? Could there be a thread about offering home-stays in your country (where the credentials would, of course, be that the person requesting accomodation have walked/walked on the camino?)

Interesting idea, Annelise. A sort of Camino Couch-surf.
Is there a Santiago Pilgrims confraternity or group in your area? Maybe they could advise.

idem in Belgium

Volunteers here already opened their house for long distant pilgrims passing through Belgium. Parents of one of my friends have a room available. Most pilgrims that stay a night there are from German or Holland. They can be contacted though the confraternity.

If anyone ever finds themselves in Portland, OR, USA I would be happy to host a fellow pilgrim from the Camino. Just PM me.
