Btw your Camino video..the long one..is absolutely delightful and makes me cry! i love it! its beautifully done!!

[@StefanieHurtado]

Thank you so much Amy! 🥹

[@Tubie1111]

It really is, I watched it so many times. I cry on the intro every time

[@StefanieHurtado]

@@Tubie1111 Aww hahah thank you!! 🥲

[@cristelaymerich]

Gracias por tus videos. El año pasado fui sola y tu video de el Francés me ayudó a tener el valor. Gracias y espero que aprecies que haces una diferencia grande en la vida de la gente con tu talento. Buen Camino.

[@AnaSanchez-kw8jz]

Your "Walk Through Fire" Camino documentary is the most inspirational, creative content about the subject by far. You captured the essence of the Camino and beautifully curated your experience by encapsulating the beauty of Spain, its people, and the memory of your father. I was not overwhelmed with 2 hours of video content, in fact; I wanted more. The length of it really spans the time of your journey as if we are walking with you! I've watched a million Camino videos and yours resonates with the spirit of the Camino every step of the way. I'm planning my trip for next year but torn between the mountainous route vs. the French route. I'm glad you're in a good space to lend your artistic view to others. It's simply what differentiates you from the others; you are baring your soul. I can't wait to watch your Portuguese Camino. Ignore the mean people because you have the talent to inspire the masses. Stay true to yourself!

[@StefanieHurtado]

Omg Ana 😭 This made me so emotionallll hahah THANK YOU 🥹 Seriously the nicest possible words. I really really appreciate the encouragement ❤ Are you deciding between the Norte and the Frances? Or maybe you mean the Primitivo? The Norte and/or Primitivo are next on my bucket list! They look soooo beautiful. I'm sure you can't go wrong.

[@mattnorris241]

I just joined your Patreon ! I am 50 and walked my Camino Frances solo in summer 2023 and I believe I watched many of your videos before I went. Your stories have so much heart. In summer 2026, my 21 yr old daughter and I will walk the Camino Frances together. She graduates from Georgetown University in 2025 and is taking a gap year before starting medical school. And I am not going to be surprised if she and her boyfriend aren’t married much longer after that. For that reason this trip means so much to me. Maybe the last time I will ever have that much one on one time with her and I already know it will be one of the highlights of my life. I can’t wait. And thank you for being a great inspiration

[@StefanieHurtado]

Ahhhh that's SO sweet, thank you Matt!!! 💖 Literally crying at the thought of you and your daughter walking the Camino together soon. That's going to be the trip of a lifetime for sure! Also your daughter sounds like such a cool person. Thank you for sharing this!!

[@mattnorris241]

@@StefanieHurtado haha I think it makes me tear up when I think about it too!I have 3 daughters and A son. My two youngest are on the spectrum and have rare heart conditions so they won’t be able to ever walk it but we do other things. Lindsay is my daughter who will walk with me. She’s always the child who wanted to do whatever daddy did so this is the ultimate honor to me!

[@guneyd]

Oh wow, you're back! I actually have done my first Camino (Frances) since your last video xD. Thank you for the informative videos. I actually recommended your documentary video to others whom I've met on the Camino as well. Keep up the good work Stefanie

[@StefanieHurtado]

Omg no way!! How was your Camino?! Thanks so much for your support! 🥲🫶🏼

[@guneyd]

@@StefanieHurtado It was amazing! I've been back for around a month now and I actually miss it haha. The grind, the people and the routine. I'm thinking of doing the Portuguese next year, so I'm looking forward to seeing your next video :D.

[@StefanieHurtado]

@@guneyd Ahhh that's what I miss too! The grind is so simple there, but so fulfilling. I definitely recommend the Portuguese!

[@amygadapee9730]

I completely enjoyed the 2 hour Camino video! You are a wonderful storyteller Stefanie.

[@StefanieHurtado]

That is sooo appreciated! Thank you Amy!! 💖

[@edelmirajensen2983]

Thank you very much for your videos. Can’t wait to see the second part of the camino with your mom. I am planning to walk the same Camino early next year. Thank you!

[@teresashultz5815]

Stephanie I am so so looking forward to this!! It is perfect timing! I am going on the Portuguese camino in September !!! ❤

[@StefanieHurtado]

Oh how exciting!! Do you know if you're doing the Coastal or Central route?

[@teresashultz5815]

@@StefanieHurtado our plan is to start on the coastal and maybe move inland if we want a change of scenery!!

[@StefanieHurtado]

@@teresashultz5815 That's a great plan! That's what we did :) And you can always switch back to the coastal if you don't like the Central too.

[@teresashultz5815]

@@StefanieHurtado perfect!! I can’t wait to watch your videos about it. Also, do you have any recommendations for luggage transfer from Porto to Santiago? Thank you !

[@StefanieHurtado]

@@teresashultz5815 Ahh I don't have any experience with luggage transfer, I'm sorry!

[@Fr._Smilla]

I'm very excited about the camino Portuguese videos...!🧡 I was watching the camino Frances film, it is sooo good and, in my opinion, not too long. You are such a sweet, natural, and positiv woman, and it makes me sad to hear that there had been weird and negative comments. Yes, there are a lot of weird people around right now 😂 but also many great people. Thank you very much...🙏

[@StefanieHurtado]

That is so sweet of you to say! Thank you so much!! 🥹 Yes, the good wayyy out weighs the bad ❤️

[@ClaraBarrerabeautyisageless55]

My husband and I loved your Camino Frances video, looking forward to the Camino portugués 💕

[@StefanieHurtado]

Thank you Clara! ❤️

[@amyrullo549]

Can’t wait to see! Been wondering where you went! I did my first Camino May 30- July 3! France’s solo! Your videos helped me so much!!!❣️

[@StefanieHurtado]

Ahhh congratulations on your first Camino!!! 🥳 And solo! 💪🏼 I’m so so happy to hear it!

[@joeh2715]

Hey, so I left a comment on your Camino Frances video expressing my delight at how beautiful it was, despite the length. Since watching that, I have committed to walking the Frances in September - this is no small part because of your documentary. So I just wanted to say thank you :)

[@StefanieHurtado]

Ahhh that's so crazy to hear 🥲 Thank you for sharing that, Joe!! I hope you have the bestttt time and best weather!! 🥳

[@nancycompagnie6500]

Well, i saw the previous camino video more than once and it was one of the first things i watched again when i returned home from my 3 month camino, 2 weeks ago...that says it all, i think 🙂

[@StefanieHurtado]

Nancy, you are amazing!! Congrats on your Camino from Belgium to the end of the world ❤️🥳

[@nancycompagnie6500]

@@StefanieHurtado aaaaaw, you remember...🥰 It was such an amazing journey, by the way 🙂

[@McFee-m1d]

I look forward to seeing new things from you. I love your video about the French Way. You have inspired me to walk the Camino myself and also to meet lots of great people. To have shared moments along the way. I would have liked to have seen your Portuguese route before walking it myself. But I'm looking forward to reviewing it again through your eyes. ☺️

[@StefanieHurtado]

Ahh hahah did you already walk the Portugues?! Did you have a good time? I'm so sorry it's taken me so long! It's coming next week 🤗🥳

@@StefanieHurtadoat the moment very very hot and sticky! But lovely obviously 😂

[@That_nature_gurl]

I’m excited for the new videos! For me, 2 hours was NOT to much. We watch movies that are over an hour long. I eat up anything Camino.

[@StefanieHurtado]

Haha that's good to know, thank you!! ☺️

[@traciewalker7892]

OMG I'm so happy you are back dropping videos. Don't worry about the keyboard warriors they are not worth a single ounce of your brain power. I am about to rewatch your NYC walking video as I will be there in 2 weeks 🎉

[@jornspirit]

...so good to see you again, Stefanie... you recently popped into my head, and I had the feeling that you might have been struggeling for a while... looking very much forward to your Friday videos now... I completely get what you said about Patreon being a bit more safe, than just putting everything out on youtube... its such a sad reality, that there are people out there, who seem to enjoy to leave nasty comments... what a poor state of self value they must be in to get a kick out of such disrespectful behaviour... lost souls... I'm a bit in a corner with my finances right now - otherwise I'd be more than happy to donate back in exchange for your content... it will balance out eventually... ...I want to close with that I can understand so much of what you share about being excited about sharing your life and building relations with your followers, and yet so nervous, and just feeling socially vulnerable in doing so... thats so feasible for me... sending much love and blessings of well-being to you, dear Stefanie 💖

[@StefanieHurtado]

Ahh hello Jorn! You always leave the most thoughtful comments 💖 Thank you for this one! I hope you're well!

Hello Stefanie I am Rita from Portugal. In the end of the month i will follow to SJPP to start Camino Francês with my cousin. Unfortunately we only have 2 weeks vacation, so we finish in Burgos this year. We would love to make all the Camino, but now it's not possible. Bettet to do this way, instead of not doing at all. 🤷‍♀️ I love to see your vídeos from the Camino, you're such an inspiration! 🥰🙏 Please try to put you're vídeos at KZbin. Only this way i can have access. Best Wishes and keep on Buen Camiño! 😃🙏

[@StefanieHurtado]

Ahhh Rita, that's so exciting!! I totally agree, better to do it in parts than not at all!! I really admire that. I hope you have a magical time with your cousin! ❤ Buen Camino! ✨

[@AidaJof]

I was looking forward to watching this one but good luck. I am not joining another platform like Patreon to watch it.

[@StefanieHurtado]

I totally understand! The Portugues video will be on KZbin in 2 weeks 😊

[@ProBioMech]

Super thanks are great but you lose 30% to YT and then if they do it on an Apple device you lose another 30 😮

[@StefanieHurtado]

Woahhhh I didn't know that about Apple! So crazy
