Definitely, I was kind of shocked after walking so much how I didn’t lose a single pound but then I remembered all those amazing Tortilla breakfasts, the tons of Beer and Tinta wine and pounds of Chorizo I kept eating!

It sounds like a wonderful adventure and I’m glad you got to check off an item from your bucket list. I’m sure you will carry the Camino with you forever, and I mean the lessons learnt from it, of course, not the pounds of dirt & rocks in your boots!

Haha, yeah I ate and drank like I was starving every day & didnt really gain anything while walking the Camino Frances route! Best side effect ever!

haha, well I did it very simply Jamie. Of course, there were people who paid for Pensions or even small hotel rooms along the way. I tended to be in bunks to save money for food and wine and because I was walking with a friend from Ireland and it was better price wise for us to share a bunk bed!

There were some days where you completely walk alone and others when you walk with a group. But ultimately it is up to you on how you travel. I went completely by myself and decided to make friends along the way. But there are many who walk alone and reflect. I would say it is probably less crowded than several of my big hikes on the PCT or Appalachian Trail on certain days!
