  • I walked the Camino Frances this spring and summer. Loved every minute of it! Well almost! Took my time and smelled the roses and enjoyed the landscape and the people I met

    Thank you for this video. You put into words exactly what I was feeling but could not articulate. I walked my first Camino from SJPDP this spring, celebrating my 70th birthday in O’Cebreiro. I cannot recapture those feelings of serenity at home, no matter where I walk. There will be another Camino for me!
  • I celebrated my 50th birthday on the Camino this summer and it was a great way to mark a milestone birthday.

    Great video Kate, and I’m excited to hear your thoughts on the Ingles once you’re feeling ready to make the videos. And I hear you on the post-Camino blues! I just finished this year’s Camino, and this was one where I was feeling okay about ending (but it’s literally three days later and I’m like- “wait, I now have to wait how long until my next Camino??”)

    Hi Kate I would recommend the Norte staring at Gijon or Aviles as opposed to doing the Primitivo. The first two and last two days of the Primitivo are so so. Every day on the Norte is magic.

    Soooo cool! Hang in, Kate! I know, 5 days and it feels as if you are just getting your legs, and then it is over???? And then the conflicting mindset because you are done just when it feels like you are beginning. So, give your head and heart some space and focus on the moment. Come visit in SF if you are nearby...would love to meet you in person. be well...bc!

    I’m doing Le Puy - Santiago next spring! Feeling nervous and giddy. I’ve completed the Frances and Portuguese Coastal. Enjoy your trip to my home state. ❤
  • @peterfontaine4627
    So great to see you again! Still going back and forth between the whole Portugues or the Frances. I like to do memorable trips for my decade birthdays too! So I can look back and go--I turned 30 in...I turned 40 in...etc.

    Hej, Katie. I can’t believe you’re only thirty eight years young, twenty eight maybe. It’s good to hear from you and that you are planning up some new channel content. The ingles route, I had a great time, early spring, warm weather and citrus fruit on the trees. Now I come across people who do the same route regularly, over and over and very often in winter. I was due to start one of the longer routes this September, but I may have to wait a bit. The blues bit, I didn’t believe at first, probably because I tend to not have too frivolous a lifestyle in the first place. However, there is something in the blues bit. I guess I’ll have to explore more. Well here’s hoping…. My best to Cashew. Dan

    I sent a text about 3 news stories about ETIAS 2023 New travel authorization requirements required for Americans to visit Europe and info on another channel that is covering the issues on the cominos about where to report dangerous places or situations and how and who to report incidences too. Camino Tellers channel, they are gathering a lot of info and producing a book to help pilgrims, I thought you might like the info.

    I think that you and your partner deserve a stone house somewhere in the Cantabrian mountains close to the Camino. Maybe in the coming future...
