Anyone knows a good app to do a journal of my voyage that automatically publish my data and pictures (as I write on it and documented my experience) on the favebook, intagram and twitter?
 
Holoholo automatically captures your footpaths, places, photos, and journals.
www.blogger.com is free online app where your family and friends can follow and you can add pictures. I’ve used in the past and everyone who followed me would be automatically notified if I had made a new post. It worked beautifully. Not sure if this is what you are looking for. Very easy to use.
 
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
Interesting question. I used one years ago that no longer exists, so I did a quick search to see what's new. Wow, the features are now very cool, back then the app was very basic. Have a look at this list...https://www.keepgo.com/blogs/articles/top-10-apps-for-trip-logging

There are lots of ways of doing this. Danielle823 mentioned blogger which is great. Personally I’ve used Wordpress to record my wife and my Caminos. It’s pretty trivial to set up and use. Go to Wordpress.com, choose a username, give an email address and choose a password and you’re good to go. I set it up mainly so that our children can see what my wife and I are up to but friends have also enjoyed the images etc and ‘follow’ us when we’re away. I’ve downloaded the Wordpress app from the AppStore (also on Android) and the interface is fairly intuitive. Writing text and inserting media such as images and video is very easy. There’s no programming needed, it’s all nice and simple. I’ve since given Wordpress a small amount of money and I’ve got a distinct url at pererindod.com but it’s not necessary and we started with the free version which tacks wordpress.com onto your username. There are all sorts of clever things you can do with the site but the default settings are fine. Good luck.
 
...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).

This is an excellent site, thanks for sharing!

I use Find Penguin like Trecile. I decided to use it, because I like the feature that after the Camino or any other trip you can get a printed version of your blog and all your fotos with just one click - well almost ;).

Hello John
Interesting to find you on this. I am a friend of Wendy’s and she told me you were doing Del Norte at the moment. We have met years ago.
I’ve done a few caminos ( actually originally inspired by the epic Camino the Bernie and Wendy did with the children) and doing Del Norte with my daughter in August.
I usually write FB posts but this time think I’ll make a proper blog.
I hope you are going well.
Buen Camino
Lesley
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
Good luck Lesley.
I’m loving the del Norte you will too.
 
Thanks for the inside... .
I am looking for one that as I published, take pictures and together with my global position automatically post all at places like Instagram, twitter, Facebook, youtube, etc... .
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.

I know that Find Penguins will put your position on a map, and you can set it up to share on Facebook and Twitter.
 
It looks great....and it seems that I can share with Twitter and facebook. I wonder if I can share with Instagram and on YouTube...

I use Find Penguins, which is a travel blog app, and very easy to use.

 
It looks great!
I will try to find out about Instagram and youtube...
Thanks

Anyone out there using FindPenguins on Camino right now that wouldn't mind me following them so I could see what it looks like to people that follow!

Thanks - this was the one I found after being proactive and having a look - enjoy Aviles, it's old town is a hidden gem of Spain - if you haven't eaten and want something amazing - seek out El Panol

Can you edit your post to make the URL a live link, please? Would be so helpful to the readers who are less likely to check out your suggestion since it’s not clickable.

Thanks
I will take a look
Cheers
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

I used Wordpress for a couple Camino ‘s and vacations and it worked well but if WiFi or cellular was weak, It either took a long time to upload pictures or it didn’t work and I waited until reception was better. We just finished the Via Francigena and I used instagram. It only allows 10 images at a time but they upload almost instantaneously. You can’t put captions under each picture but you can do a narrative. If I had a picture that needed a narrative, I posted it separately. My kids liked Instagram better than Wordpress because they had the app and could go right to my updates when notified instead of having to log in each time.

My 2 bits.
