50 Tips for the Camino de Santiago

[@HamOnHill]

Nadine, yet again you encapsulate the Camino experience in a beautifully produced video. Thank you.

[@Kate_Pilgrim]

Nice video Nadine! 💚

[@geoffwaters9612]

Hi Nadine Another beautiful video. Thankyou. I walked the Camino Frances in 2022 and 2023. One tip I would add which I found very useful in the albergue is a small keylight which I wore on a cord around my neck. Very useful for moving around dorms at night and using toilets. Very small beam but enough to see by.

[@NadineWalks]

Excellent tip, thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video :)

[@dianapototska6684]

I’m planning the French way in a few weeks. It’s probably much different in winter. Thanks for the video, it’s very cozy. Buen camino everyone!

[@alexandrematosFL]

do you have any information on what to expect, or other channels I can check for information related to doing the Camino in late February? pretty good chance I am losing my job in 30 days, so I've decided that if it happens I will just pack and go thank you

[@grahamcullen100]

Thank you! A lovely watch

[@Muffin1280]

I loved it. Great video and selection of music!

[@helenvwalker7919]

Lovely. There speaks a true pilgrim. Thank you Nadine😊

[@lucvb1853]

#9. A backup of instant coffee will come in handy. Is a lifesaver for me. Also stock up on instant coffee when you can. Many thanks Nadine for all the good advice and stories.

[@jamesscharpf7726]

And sharing your instant coffee is a good way to make new friends!

[@NadineWalks]

Yes, good tip about stocking up on the instant coffee when you find it!! Luckily it's small and light, so carrying extra isn't usually a big deal :)

[@jamess7181]

Love it once again. Variation on a theme - always take you phone to the bathroom so that you always have a light source when the light goes off. 😊

[@NadineWalks]

Yes, good additional tip- I've often used my phone's flashlight for this! (but, haha, usually try waving my arms around first)

[@JDK-zw9cg]

Great video. Thank you Nadine.

[@martoony-repelkasteeltje]

So nice to see these 50 tips for the Camino, and they are all so very true. Buen Camino, Nadine.

[@NadineWalks]

Thank you, and Buen Camino to you as well!

[@ThePhantomMajor]

I readily admit you are a more experienced Camino walker than me. However I would agree with approx. 45 or so of your points. Your best one I feel is the last one ... when you have tapped into your hidden reserves & you are truly shaking with adrenaline & tiredness but have come out the other end ... those are the BEST OF DAYS!

[@EJN-kd6lm]

So much great advice. Thank you.

[@NadineWalks]

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@mikebaginy8731]

Fabulous tips, Nadine!

[@alanmentzer8756]

Excellent selection!!

[@shaylahale3718]

Love this!❤

[@NadineWalks]

So glad you enjoyed this!

[@carolinesaunders6656]

Fabulous. Great tips beautifully presented.

[@PaulWakely-vc7ik]

Thank you Nadine. This is more than 50 tips. It's a beautiful video that captures the magic and spirit of the Camino.

[@NadineWalks]

Thank you, I was hoping to put together a useful but also beautiful video! I'm glad that you enjoyed it.

[@AidaJof]

Thank you, Nadine ... you've curiated 50 of the greatest pieces of advice about the Camino🥰🥰🥰

[@NadineWalks]

And I know there are so many more than I missed!! (maybe a Part 2 in the future?)

[@AidaJof]

@@NadineWalks Any more you can think of, they are all great and very much appreciated. In our Camino Walking Group here in Calgary, you'd be surprised how much we refer and rely on your Camino wisdom. Much love and best wished for a great Holiday Season💖

[@amdelorey]

These are fabulous tips! Thanks for pulling them together!

[@NadineWalks]

You're welcome! It was fun putting this together :)

[@brucelillibridge3199]

Very nice Nadine…Thank You!

[@NadineWalks]

You're welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@buscandoando8843]

well done 👏 ✔️ my absolute favorite #15😅 and also #49 Buen camino!

[@brianohare9607]

Thank you …still the best smile on the internet

[@NadineWalks]

Thank you!! :)

[@shaunminehan]

NUMBER 9 IS MY NUMBER 1 ! absolutely essential.

[@NadineWalks]

Hahaha I'll never walk a Camino without it :)

[@DaysWeSpend]

These are perfect!

[@pinkiesmum]

Thank you Nadine! I have attempted the Camino this year and had to return home due to a viral sickness so I am a bit hesitant to even think about it again. I have unfollowed most of the channels I used to follow on the topic but you resonate with me. The last few tips are a god send !

[@NadineWalks]

I'm so sorry that your Camino was cut short, and I can understand that Camino-related content would be hard to consume. But I'm so happy that you were able to enjoy this video, and that the last tips especially were ones that resonated. I hope- if the Camino is still calling you- you'll be able to return!

[@francefehr429]

I truly enjoyed this summary -your tips about the Camino. You summarized it so well and each pictures has been well chosen. BRAVO Nadine and Have a great holidays ( very soon- I guess only one more week at the school and then more time to be OUTSIDE...)

[@NadineWalks]

You've got it exactly right!! One more week of school (and these are busy days) but then a break with family/friends/and tons of walking! I can't wait. Thank you for your kind words :)

[@billkrueger9305]

Thank you, Nadine...it is just the Christmas gift I have needed...lots going on, but I have followed your many adventures, and I hope to see you one day on the Camino soon...perhaps in 2026, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays...praying your students are doing well!

[@NadineWalks]

I'm so glad you enjoyed this video, Bill, and thank you for continuing to be here and following along! It's always nice to see a comment from you. I hope you have a wonderful holiday season!

[@billkrueger9305]

@@NadineWalks be well, Nadine, and a joyful holiday from a rainy San Francisco...take care and get some rest during these days!

[@bigcitycommute]

Wonderful! Thank you, Nadine! I walked my first Camino last summer and look forward to going again. It was absolutely a beautiful experience.

[@NadineWalks]

I'm so glad you had a great first Camino experience! It's a bit addictive, isn't it?

[@betsybowman4176]

Love this! I thought I was done with Camino “lists” but you had a few new gems in there. Thank you!

[@NadineWalks]

Oh I'm so glad! I tried to give some basic and more common tips but also a few that it's taken me years to figure out :)

[@vintagevirgoT]

Thank you

[@sandgroper-ig9nk]

Nice post tx👍

[@shoshanafox727]

Boa viagem. I 5:41 got back from my first camino in October. I don't know why, but it was very special. ❤

[@monikas.4559]

What a beautiful video. Thank you Nadine ❤

[@NadineWalks]

You're very welcome!

[@ilannir4834]

Nadine, A rare talent to make such a smart and exciting short videos🎉🎉🎉

[@NadineWalks]

Thank you so much, I loved putting this one together! Eventually I'll make a part 2 :)

[@stinaolsen6909]

You did it again ❤ Well done ❣️👣❣️

[@AlexanderVerbeekVideos]

Nice one Nadine, I recognize it all (except that I keep my feet dry if I still have to walk).

[@NadineWalks]

Oh that's true... I make sure that my feet are fully dry if I dip them into a creek, etc, while on the walk (otherwise, walking with wet feet is a recipe for disaster!)

[@jeremywilliams703]

Awesome Nadine! Thank you so much. ✌️❤️🙏🇦🇺

[@annakapp7908]

Thank you Nadine .much appreciated as usual.Buen Camino

[@rowenabisschoff]

😂 I can so relate to waving your arms furiously when the light goes out in the bathroom 😂

[@NadineWalks]

Hahaha, I laugh at myself every time I do this!

[@MrsBrent]

Beautiful video!

[@cynthiahunter4510]

Beautiful Nadine. Perfect summary of all you really need 😊

[@AineTaiki]

This was a lovely video, thank you for sharing ❤

[@dathang]

Beautiful and useful. Happy Holidays, Nadine! BTW BBC will have yet another season of their "Pilgrimage series dropping at Easter... no route announced yet. Cheers and adventure on!

[@OmaRuns67]

Love this! Cannot wait to be there ❤

[@buencamino-f2j]

wonderful video! Thanks. I can't way for May 2025 for my Camino!

[@NadineWalks]

I hope some of these tips help for your upcoming Camino! Buen Camino!

Brilliant. Thank you 👍

great video nadine!

Goes straight into the Camino HOF videos.

[@DavidMacvaugh-go5kv]

Brilliant!

Hi Nadine. I expected a talking head video but instead it was a philosophical meditation. Thank you.

[@muxia_camino]

Nice post and video thanks , muchas gracias a ti

BRAVO! 😊

#25 Play by your own rules. I did walk every step of the way - it worked for me.

[@NadineWalks]

Yes, that's a great tip, to play by your own rules. I try to walk every step of the way when I can, and prefer to... but it was a big lesson for me to learn that it was okay if I didn't or couldn't!

[@elizabethwestwick7401]

Nadine...you always know when to post a video that resonants with me. Working on scheduing my trip for 2025 (hopefully.)

[@NadineWalks]

I hope you'll be able to get on the Camino in 2025! What season/month are you hoping to go?

[@elizabethwestwick7401]

I am flexible since I am retired. I am a fair weather gal, so can't take a lot of the heat. My preface is late September or early October. I also joined the American Pilgrims as recommended. It would be nice speaking with someone in my age group and fitness level on which path is best for a newbie.

[@pyronitro]

i always have #9, #22 really works ! #29 is also important! #37 is usually spectacular #49 & #50 is just transcendental...

[@NadineWalks]

I'm glad you agree with some of these tips :) #49 and #50 might be the most important (at least for me)

[@MaryBoutilier25]

lovely

[@scott882]

#29…. You never told me! 😮 😊😊

[@alexandrematosFL]

Nadine, do you have any information on what to expect, or other channels I can check for information related to doing the Camino in late February? pretty good chance I am losing my job in 30 days, so I've decided that if it happens I will just pack and go

[@michaelpowell2717]

All good.

[@rvanhelsing8768]

Ahhh, Aquarius (orange, not lemon for me) and a zumo, Everlasting taste memories.

[@03085716]

an entire bottle of wine at lunch is a wonderful idea, cant do it when your working, let your hair down nadine

[@NadineWalks]

Haha, I've never been able to drink an entire bottle of wine, it would probably be disastrous for me in the middle of a walking day!

[@scott882]

[@RC-qf3mp]

0:46 Fellas, be careful taking pictures of other people’s undies hanging on a clothes line. Just sayin’. 😂😮 Further tips: 51) plan as part of the trip to go to Finesterre (the highlight of seeing the ocean after doing the Frances is amazing); 52) electrolytes, 53) eat lots of fish; Spain has high quality fish and its anti-inflammatory; especially good fish at tapas bars. 54) don’t automatically go for the ‘pilgrim’s menu’; take a look at the ‘normal fixed price’ menu, 55) the best snack is trail mix, not ultraprocessed cookies or even fruit; nuts/seeds have more nutrients per ounce of weight, and healthy fat, which is what you need on trail for concentrated calories and to stave off hunger. 56) eye mask and ear plugs are a must. Even in private rooms you never know what random noises could happen at night (roosters, trains, dogs barking). Nice video Nadine. You can always add to this one. Hopefully it gets a 100k+ views. 👍

[@johnbutler8998]

I normally agree with everything that comes out of Nadine's mouth ... but not the bit about large quantities of cheap wine in the middle of the day being a bad idea! The messages about needing much less than you realise and being much stronger than you realise are the two most important to me :)

[@NadineWalks]

Hahaha 🍷 🍷

[@rowanmulvey8632]

Great video!
