- Time of past OR future Camino
- None
I'm sure this question has been asked countless times, but most of the threads I can find on solo female travelers are significantly older than myself - so some of the advice I feel doesn't cover my concerns/doesn't apply to me.
Basically, I'm 18 years old (will be turning 19 during travelling) and about to start uni in October studying Spanish post A Level. During the summer I want to maintain my Spanish, and have wanted to do the camino for a long time. Growing up walking has played a large part in my life, and I've done quite a few long distance hikes (including camping etc) in the UK - though none for as long as I'm planning this time.
However, due to my age and the fact I'd be alone (and female) I'm worried about safety concerns. Does anyone have any advice on how to stay safe? Or any experiences they can share?
