Here's my question, and I definitely do not mean for it to be confined to any particular religion:

What present/s did you get (or give yourself) for your upcoming Camino, whenever that may be?

I gave myself a Garmin InReach Mini. And a new butt pack.

I've found people really love to give you something that you'll use everyday when walking. I guess it's because, when packing light, you treasure every item. And I adore being reminded of them when using even the most mundane items of kit.
But there's definitely things you need to gift yourself and I've just had my Navigo Easy (contactless Paris metro card) delivered. Buying through a French website (and not trusting Google Translate for online shops) is not a task I wanted to inflict on others.
Oh. And new quick-dry pink knickers!

I gave myself a new waist pack too! I'm still working on finding the prefect shoe though.

I got a gorgeous silk sleep sack system that @trecile made for Christmas from my wife.

I was looking for a pair of short winter boots on Boxing Day and found these Keen sandals that only cost me $65cdn as they were in the discounted racks. A true find and exactly what I wanted to wear at the end of each walking day. I walked out of the store with the biggest grin and felt like a little girl

Wow! What a happy find!

This was not for Christmas, but I splurged on new Eagle Creek packing cubes at a Sierra store earlier this year . Lots of them!

Buen Camino!

You won't regret those! I took them on my last hot-weather camino and they were great. Good for walking in, cute enough for dinner or museum entry...

Amazing find. They are usually twice the price or more and they they were my size. If you ever saw the IKEA commercial where the lady is running out of the store with the receipt in her hand and screams out « Start the car » …well I felt like doing the same lol

My grandchildren gave me a goat from Oxfam. My daughter gave me a gift for the RFDS. Best Christmas ever.

Hi all, I’m starting my Camino Frances on May 12. I’ve booked my first night in SJPDP, but I’m starting to worry I need to book more. My plan was to take it day by day and just turn up, but lots...

Hello all. Here to give a brief account of my (and many others) first day on the Camino on May 1. The trip to Roncesvalles was tough. I went Valcarlos route because napoleon was very ill advised...

I am wondering how you disconnect, in part, from the world. I have a couple of reasons that I need to be accessible but, I don't want to be constantly connected on this journey. Ideas?

Zara123 · 2024-05-04T00:40:36+0200

I struggle with social anxiety and I was wandering if anybody with the same issue had a positive experience on the Camino walking alone. I saw lots of posts and videos people talking about forming...

Money stolen from bag on bed while sleeping. Estelle municipal hostel. Not a big inconvenience as my passport and credit cards were left.
