    I just walked the Frances. Here's what I learned.

    Thank you! On Paris -- I stayed in a cheap hostel in Nation (Jo&Joe). I personally would not recommend that hostel, or hostels in general, lol. I wish I would've planned ahead or taken up offers to stay with friends of friends. But that's okay! You can't really go wrong in Paris. I needed to...

    I just walked the Frances. Here's what I learned.

    Thank you! I had actually been working for a month in France before my Camino, and was in Italy prior to that. There were no testing requirements for me then besides the stuff required to fly. Will add - COVID didn't affect my Camino whatsoever, and I don't remember many rules in Paris in April.

    Which sleeping bag?

    Hi! Found myself hung up on another equipment question and know folks on this forum are kind and helpful so thought I'd ask you all! Which sleeping bag should I take?

    Hi!! My name's Jake and I'm hiking the Camino Frances from St. Jean in April/May. So excited! I'm picking out a pack this week.
