i hiked camino del norte at the age of 16 we started in the south of france and ended in finistera a trek of 3 months. for the most part we slept in tents and occasionally in inns. very special experience

[@kinganowicka2503]

This year I want to do my first Camino and it will be Primitivo started from 30th of June. I am afraid, with so many fears which I want to leave behind. I want to find myself and find my life way. Thank You for Your channel:)

[@caminotellers]

This will be a magical journey for you, Camino Primitivo is special! Dont miss the Samblismo albergue of Jorge! Trust life and smile brightly, and if you have any doubts, write anytime :) buen Camino

[@katarzynarybczynska4351]

For me, June 30th is also the beginning of this adventure. I’m leaving from Saint Jean Pied de Port. I hope you’ll find what you’re looking for and more. Good luck 🍀

I agree with trying it on your own. This gives you such an amazing satisfaction. Everyone is different but I planned only 3 things before starting my Camino: 1) 8kg backpack containing my needs 2) A plane ticket and 3) A map. I travelled in the middle of September. Sometimes I stayed in the Albergue but honestly preferred to stay in a cheap little pension. I prefer the privacy and not having to worry about anybody else. Sure, you miss some of the people but you meet plenty of people on the trail. I carried the 8kg all of the way, no postal service required, and the map got me lost on many occasions. But that was just part of the adventure. Thanks for the advice. Keep walking, keep up the great work. Hope to cross you on the way one day.

[@caminotellers]

I am planning to do the Camino del Norte in October 2022. I have only done the Camino from Sarria due to time available. I have since listened and watched many KZbin Camino comments and advice. This is one of the most structured and comprehensive I have seen and listened to. A very good prestation and good advice especially on the financial side.

[@caminotellers]

Thank you Albert! I was preparing this video for few weeks and I m glad it can be of some help! The Camino del norte is a unforgettable experiance, and there is also the chance to take the Camino primitivo or follow the coast!

[@MotherGosling]

Although i can not walk well enough to do this now, i would like to have but now i enjoy it vicariously through your videos. One of my favourite movies is "the Way", produced by Emilio Estevez (not his brother Charlie Sheen.) MARTIN SHEEN plays the father in the movie, who is struggling with the loss of his son (played by Martin's real son Emilio.) He does it very touchingly. In struggling with his grief and loss, he decides (although mostly unprepared and uninformed,) to take on the challenging journey of the Camino on behalf of his late son, inadvertently, taking his grief out on fellow walkers, who all have their own reasons and issues. A heart-wrenching story with fabulous views and interesting information. There are many amazing walking tracks in New Zealand, but I have missed out on them too. I hope your readers/watchers get out there and have these amazing experiences while they still can, and most of all be well-informed and prepared from watching these videos. Thank you so much for including the part in one of your videos about taking care of the feet. SO IMPORTANT!! Bless all!

[@caminotellers]

Lyn! Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts. The Way is deffinately the movie worth to watch, and for many, the first meeting with Camino. And from what I see, when talking with many pilgrims on the way, they all have an important reason for their Journey. Stay connected and accompany us in our walks on Camino Portuguese and French this year, we will post many personal content! Big hugs for you

Thanks a lot Howard! Most of the places have a card payment access(bars or albergues), but there is always few in small villages where they prefere not to use it or simply there is no internet connection there. Every bigger village has a cash machine and you can use some Camino apps to see which are the facilities in every place you go!

@@anthonydeakin3834 Thank you Anthony, for the very nice encouraging message, I’m also thinking that try to avoid the rain in early April and try to start late April or the first week of May, I’m also in contact with Pilgrim Camino , company in Spain to pre pay for 7/10 days at a time to see how far I can walk, or if I have to abandoned the walk and then go back few months later, I also need some health related material and they will will carry my small bag day to day, they will also make my reservations in Private albergues etc. I’m 72 and widower, need to know where I will be sleeping etc. God willing ,hopefully I will be. Able to walk as much as I can at this age. This will also be my first walk on the Camino. It would be pleasure to meet you on the Camino, till then Buen Camino, keep well. Cheers ! 🇨🇦

I truly enjoying your content and your funny way of storytelling. Could you please share some meditation that you used on the Camino? I’m curious about it. I’m actually in saint Jean now, starting tomorrow and I want to build a routine for this journey. Some insights will be truly appreciated 🙏🏻 Greetings!

[@caminotellers]

Big hugs to you and I’m so excited for your journey… the few options I could suggest would be to observe some silence while walking(in some parts not all day as talking to other pilgrims is also a part of Camino), meditation 10-15 min just when you get to the albergue( just observe the tired body, and the let go), and as well, what could be a interesting practice, conscious eating… The walk itself will bring you many answers on what is necessary if you pay attention… hope it give you more ideas, if no, write me an email ([e-mail]) and I can explain myself better, hugs

[@Nichole111]

@@caminotellers thank you so much for the kind thoughts, Ricky 🙏🏻 And for taking the time to answer me. Conscious eating sounds pretty interesting. I try to be careful with what I’m eating during the Camino so this will fit perfectly in my plans. Btw, I was talking with some other pilgrims in the albergue about you and they also watch your content, so you are pretty popular on this Camino generation. 😁 Thanks again, Ricky, for the great content and the energy you put on it. Hugs from us! 🤗🤗

Hello. I have just discrovered this channel and loved it. But i do have a question? Do you think it is good to take a tent to the camino?

[@caminotellers]

Camping in Spain is not legal, if not on the designated camping spots! you can find many of them along the way. but probably you will still have to pay for them, so sleeping in albergues is advisable... Join our Thursday Q&A and ask any question: kzbin.infoe4dHf2sb_Zs?feature=share

Hi there, thanks for you channel and all the information you share. I am planning to do the Portuguese Camino Lisbon to Santiago I noticed the most common route is inland but I am conceding doing it all along the coast from Lisbon to Santiago. What is you views on doing it all along the coast. I am also planning to do it by myself and I am also in no rush.

[@caminotellers]

MARCO! i like the way you plan to do it- with no rush! The Camino on the cost from Lisbon as you already could check, is not common. From Lisbon you can go towards Santarem or towards Sinatra, which is more to the cost. SINTRA - CALDAS DA RAINHA -BATALHA... it is not the official way, but it apears on some maps. The long Camino portugueses we are planing for 2023, but with no rush niether :) buen Camino

[@wheeliemum6253]

I have been toying with doing my own pilgrimage but have so many questions. This will not be my first long distance trip. I did 200 miles up the Cumbrian Coast and across Hadrian's wall last year. My first and biggest question is, I'll be doing it by off road wheelchair. From the snippets in your video everything (except maybe the beach) I could manage, though the forest would greatly slow me down. How much would you say is well compacted earth/ surfaced and how much is rougher ground? Is one route or another better for easy surfaces? I've got about 2 weeks available with me covering 15 to 20 miles a day (my average speed is generally under 4 miles an hour, though I don't know how much the heat will slow me down) Is it possible to camp along the camino? Many thanks, I'm just starting to investigate this so will go and watch lots of other videos and read more

[@caminotellers]

Hi! How are you? Let me come back to you with satisfying answer as there is lots of subjects to be considered, for the moment I'll tell you that it's more then possible for the bikers, shouldn't be a problem for you, espetially with the experience that you already have. Big hugs and text me on [e-mail] to continue the conversation

[@julianz.9164]

I did NOT vaccinate and I did the camino 2 times and perfectly fine.

[@caminotellers]

Nowadays, no vaccinations necessary! I did the French camino 2monts after posting this video and I had only few episodes with the vaccination regulations … so, now is only a personal choice rather then the government case. Hugs

[@michellegiles4152]

Thanks for the great content. Do you have to be vaccinated to go do Camino this next year 2024? How would I find out this information?

[@caminotellers]

No, no vaccinations needed no more.

[@CMVaskova]

There are a few organized trips (accommodation included) tackling only the last 120 km of the journey (I guess it's more beginner friendly?). How much would these tips apply to that?

[@caminotellers]

I would recommend… to do it without the company that organises all, it’s made easy for pilgrims to DIY… but if you decide to do it with the company, similar knowledge applies, please clarify with your agency for specific details… P.d. Do it on your own ;)

[@chakaka801]

Thank you again for this! Do you have a recom for an accommodation in st. jean? Where do we get the pilgrim passport? How do we get to SJPDP from Paris?

You are taking it seriously :) in France the closes bus would be from Bayone or Biarritz, directly from the airport :) once you get there, all the passports(credential) and usefull info will be provided in pilgrims' officee which is just in front of a very special guest house Beilari.

Thank you so much for info as I'm planning to go next April 2023. I plan to go the whole way which I believe can take up to 3 months. I'm starting to take lots of walks in my area so as to be a bit more physically fit for next year. Not sure if I'll be mentally fit 🤯by the time it comes around as this is going to be a first on my own traveling but best being prepared anyway which your video is showing. However I'm not taking any vaccine for anyone....so will this affect the whole process ?! Also it would be nice meeting up and sharing the walk with other single women especially at the beginning until confidence grows but how do you find them ? I am more Spiritual than Religious and have had this calling for a while now so next year it is happening. Blessings to you and Thank you. 🙏❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Hi Debbie! Sorry for the late answer but I was walking the Salt Satyagraha in India and just finished. the season for camino starts in April- all mayor Albergues/hostels open at this time… the weather is already nice, could rain a bit but it’s nothing close to the unbearable august summer. Frequent walking anywhere would be enough for building the muscle resistance and getting them used to prolong efforts. During my preparation we were going for a long weekends, where we would continuously walk for 3 days(each day 20k) and sleeping along the track, so we could see how the body reacts to this long effort. Any questions , please, let me know, hugsssss
