A plea from a Student

Alexandrax

New Member
Time of past OR future Camino
June 2016?
My name is Alexandra Humphries and I am currently an undergraduate student at Bangor University in Wales. I study Spanish with Business and I am currently in the process of writing my dissertation. I lived in a town called Cee which is around 20 minutes (drive) from Finisterre/Fisterra from September 2014 to June 2015, I taught English at a local primary school whilst I was there.
My plea is that I ask if some of you could complete my dissertation survey. I am looking at tourism in the region, people's perceptions of Galicia and how the Xunta promotes the region. I want as varied a response as possible and while asking my friends on facebook to do it is great, I'd like some views of people who have explored the region like myself.
In addition I am also planning to return and undertake the Camino in June 2016 with the hope of returning back to Cee and Finisterre.
I understand if this is not allowed on the forums but I thought I would give it a shot as I am unsure how else to collect views from people who have actually undertaken the Camino.
Thank you so so much to anyone who completes the questionnaire and I am willing to answer any further questions. Also if you have any views on the region and the Xunta in promoting the region please contact me further as this would be invaluable for my dissertation! (survey link is below)

I wish that your survey and your camino will be fine.
My question is why Galicia is always compared to Ireland?. Apart from the religi0n I think that North Wales has more similarities. That was my impression when i visited both countries.
 
...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).
Done with pleasure. Good luck with your project and..............
..................Buen Camino!
 
Holoholo automatically captures your footpaths, places, photos, and journals.
Good luck with your studies. Would like to know what your survey results show. On this Forum the results will be skewed towards our collective knowledge and love of the Camino de Santiago. You will have to statistically correct for that bias.

Good luck with your own Camino adventure.
