I am from Sterling, Alaska. This is a new adventure for me, having never done anything like this before in my life. I will be on the east coast before departing Boston Sept. 10th, arrive in Paris on the 11th. Hope to travel by train to Pamplona and ready to take my first step Sept. 14th. Orison that night if I can figure out how to get them paid. I received an email from them but do not see where to pay on their website. I will be taking my time along the trail absorbing as much as I can.

I look forward to meeting you when our paths cross.

Hi Terri,
If you haven't already, you might want to secure your lodging in O'Cebreiro ahead of time. The albergue there takes in all the walkers before those beginning to walk, and it could be full!

Mike, Rina and Michele Spinello starting at Sarria September 15. (From Cambridge Ontario ). Buen Camino!
 
I'll be on Camino somewhere from 1 Oct for two weeks. Just haven't quite decided! Cobblestones of Camino Porto don't sound like that appealing. I might be back on the Frances, but thinking, thinking...

Looking forward to the videos!

Anniesantiago keeps pushing the Madrid... But I'm strictly a Frances man, myself.

Note, my son is a head fishing guide on Iliamna. I'm traveling to the Kuskowim this week to preview a lodge.

Hi ,

My name is Mark. I am from Melbourne, Australia. I walked the Camino Frances from SJPDP to Santiago in October 2015- in 35 days with 2 rest days . It was my first Camino.

I completed my Hospitelero training in Brisbane, Australia in Jan 2017 and subsequently received a posting to the donativo Albergue at 'Bercianos del Real Camino' for the first two weeks of October this year (2017) with my Canadian girlfriend Natalie ( who I met on my first Camino in 2015 ).

I will be arriving in Madrid from Melbourne on Sept 26 as will
Natalie (She will be coming from Canada). We will spend a few days in Madrid -then make our way up to Sahagun - & then from there onto our hospitelero posting .

After our hospitelero duties finish (first two weeks of Oct) then sometime around the 16th or 17th of October , the intention is to take a train to Porto (Portugal) and to walk the Portuguese Way from Porto to Santiago de Compostella (and possibly from there onto Finesterre- then Muxia and then back to Santiago).

Good luck and Buen Camino to all pilgrims .
