It's the snorer who should get a private room. Snoring isn't a disease. It's self inflicted (the vast majority of cases, alcohol and excess weight).
And it ruins people's days.
Keeping a dorm of 20+ people awake at night is no joke.
It's sooo...
Oh, and also: hospitaleros lose money and pilgrims lose a bed when you reserve a bed that you don’t show up for. If you’re going to make a reservation, you absolutely should cancel it once you realize you won’t make it. It’s just disrespectful...
YES 👏👏👏
Also, if you want to listen to music, get some headphones. Many people come to the Camino for reflection and value the silence.
But most importantly, remember: the tourist expects, the pilgrim gratefully accepts.
Don't give up!
Do drink lots of water 💦
Don't litter 🚯
Don't stress out about small stuff, and it's all small stuff
Do have fun and make friends and stop to smell the roses 🌹
since don’ts never work…
be the one you would like to encounter
be like your own favorite guest
be the one who shares a smile a kind word
be the one who leaves the world a little bit better
be the one you like walking through your garden
be...
One of the most annoying things I've encountered on the Camino are pilgrims playing music out of Bluetooth speakers attached to their backpack. Not everyone enjoys your taste in music!
Not to do?
Do not overplan!
Do not overpack!
Do not book ahead too far!
Do not expect anything "magic"!
Do not leave anything behind other than footprints!
Do not shout or swear out loud!
Do not mess with cattle, horses or dogs!
Do not forget to stop periodically to look behind you wherever you walk. Those personal pleasures of seeing how far you have come will stay in your memory forever!
