  el Sol reacted to Nelle's post in the thread is it safe to walk alone at 18 with Like.
  
  Traveling alone requires a bit if street smarts at any age, and particularly if you’re just learning to navigate the world on your own. You might want to read a few articles on how to carry yourself in an unfamiliar environment aimed at college...

  el Sol reacted to Vacajoe's post in the thread Locks and cables, recommended or not? with Like.
  
  I use the existing backpack straps to secure my bag to the chair, table, luggage, rack, etc where I am located. It simply stops someone from accidentally or purposefully walking off with it. Sure they could undo or cut the straps, but in the...

  el Sol reacted to peregrina2000's post in the thread Sexual harassment on Camino routes with Like.
  
  The topic of sexual harrassment and violence on the Camino has been discussed many times, but it’s done in the context of a woman actually reporting on her experience. This is the first time I can remember having a mainstream press article as the...

  el Sol reacted to SEB2's post in the thread Sexual harassment on Camino routes with Like.

  If you are fine with dorm type accommodations there are several great places to give you a good start. Beilari in St Jean Pied de Port. Then either Orisson or Borda to break up the stage over the Pyrenees. https://www.beilari.info/en/home/...

  The Camino Planner As the click-clack of walking sticks fades here in Santiago, the tap-tap of my keyboard picks up with exciting changes planned for 2025. Earlier this summer, we published the complete content of the Wise Pilgrim guides here...

  el Sol reacted to Kevin Considine's post in the thread Aging On The Camino with Like.
  
  Like many of my Camino buddies, the years are passing away and while I am not done, I do wonder how many more Caminos are in this 69 year old body. Having walked over 13,000 kilometers on The Camino since that late August day in 2015 when I...
