Your slide show is beautiful – you have walked the French and Primitivo. Which one would you recommend, as I will not be able to do both.

Hi Elna, thanks for you comment. How much time do you have to walk? The Primitivo is ~330km and the Frances is ~800km so takes a lot longer. The Frances was my first camino and my favourite because of the new experience and the people I met along the way. The Primitivo is the most beautiful camino I’ve walked though because I love hill and mountain walking.
Whichever one you do first, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it so much that you’ll be back to walk another one 🙂

Thank you Kat! I’m truly inspired by your blog. I start on Camino Frances April 8. I wish you a grand adventure on the PCT. You will end it in my neck go the woods in Washington. I look forward to following you along your journey. Did I read you have a book coming out soon?

Hi Rene,
Thanks for your comment. I’m excited/scared/nervous for my upcoming PCT hike and counting down the days 🙂 The Camino Frances is my favourite walk and the most life-changing for me, I’m sure you’re going to love it!
I don’t have any book plans unless it was something like “How I survived a mountain lion/bear/rattlesnake … attack!” Which hopefully doesn’t happen 🙂
Buen Camino Rene!

Hi Kat: Love your blog! I’ve been thinking about a Portuguese Camino and your Camino Portugués book looks like just the ticket to prepare with! Interesting that in your blog you mention a counsellor service in Santiago for those who complete and don’t want it to end! I wandered for half a day with one of my Camino family and we almost decided to walk BACK to St. Jean ha ha. I had a bad accident on my last Camino, injury took two years to overcome. Bad bad feet but lots of friendships made. I’ve written a book about my experience and would love to send you a free ebook gift of one if you are interested. Cheers. Stan

Hi Stan, apologies, I’ve been off-grid hiking! I’m sorry to hear of your accident, but it seems you had a wonderful network of friends around you. I didn’t want to finish my first Camino, I wanted it to last forever! And now I have itchy feet again and am always trying to fit another one in! I’d love to read about your experience, thanks!
Buen Camino for your next adventure! Kat
