Hi Nadine, great information! You speak about second hand websites to purchase gear. Which ones did you use?

This is so incredible, the Movie "The Way movie" is great.

Have you walked the Ingles? I don’t have a lot of time and thought I might do the Ingles, then to Finisterre and Muxia.

Question: how do you know a town/village has or doesn't have a bar/restaurant/supermarket ? Thx

The previous pack has such character!!!

I heard you on Dave Whitsons podcast a couple of weeks ago. His is a fantastic podcast and it was great hearing you talk about the Primitivo .

😅thank you

Can’t wait to see your videos from Norway!!

Dearest Nadine, your videos are so precious to me and have inspired me immensely. Thank you for the value you share to this community. 🙏🏼 I will selfie and turn around. Love from Sydney, Australia. 🇦🇺

Thnx for this video! I am going for 3 weeks to the Camino del Norte ❤ & looking forward to your Norway adventure 🙏🏻

Yo, Nadine, Thanks for your update. I just finished the Chemin de St Jacques from Le Puy to Conques. Wow! Thanks for all your help and advice in my preparation and thanks for all you do for our Philly APOC chapter. Rick

Wow, great update! We've had our eyes on St Olav's Way for years. We can't wait to watch your experience. Please send us a message if you get to Spain this summer!!!

Cant wait to share the St Olav's way with you. I am hiking the Camino Portugues (coastal route) at the end of September... All thanks to you, your inspiration and reassurance. Maybe Norway will be the next dream!

Very helpful, thanks Nadine!

Question for the next Q&A: what is your favorite type of material for clothing and other aspects while on the Camino/other trips? Do you go for cheap gear for certain items or just look at quality? Do you go off of looks? I really hate plastic and so I try to avoid anything made out of it. For example I switched my shirts, jacket and underwear for merino wool (very pricey but worth it (Decathlon has great quality to price ratio actually)), switched my microfiber towel for a linen towel... small things like this

I really appreciate your videos Nadine, I really do. Keep them coming, cheers and thank you

Wow, Norway! I look forward to your videos! This year for me it’s hut-to-hut hiking in the Dolomites in late Aug/early September.

Good for you! I love your sense of adventure. As the Stoic guy likes to say, “the obstacle is the way” - take a tent! Consider it an opportunity, rather than something you have to do, but something you get to do; a skill you get to learn/improve on and talk about for your YT channel. Save money, but more importantly, have fun with that experience. You could leverage all your Camino skills to dial in your pack (after researching temperature range and rain on the Norway trail), and practice pitching a tent in your area. There are excellent ultralight tents out there - The Durston X Mid Pro (and Pro 2) are super lightweight and very easy to use, and excellent in wind and rain (great ventilation). There have been some small upgrades to those tents, so you could find an older used one for less money, perhaps (and those would be great - i have an older one).

Hi Nadine, 12 of us from Ireland and the US are just back from 5 days on the Fisherman's trail, our ages range from 60 to 30 and we all had amazing time, your tip regarding the gaiters was a game changer, many thanks for that. Best of luck. Paul

What for you is the best keen shoe to walk the Camino... and is there now a Cam8no industry....to avoid. And are the hippie dippy american hipster yuppies making this another sht show in Spain. Is this even a religious pilgrimage anymore or just another ironman walkathon

If you don't like microfiber because it smells and eventually will release microplastics and you don't like cotton because it takes too long to dry and is bulky, let me introduce you to linen towels: packs small, lightweight, anti-microbial and fast drying

Looking forward to seeing your St Olav’s way pilgrimage! I’m going to do the Camino Ingles in a few weeks so I’m excited for that! Buen Camino! 😊

I think it’s refreshing to walk a whole different route in another country. Riktig Vei!! PS. Golden Girl Rose would have been proud of you to walk St Olaf(v) way!!😊

Great video, a lot of information that was new to me. Looking forward to seeing your Norway trip. This year is about staying local to Kent, Surrey and Sussex in the UK and building up my fitness (went deverly downhill since 2020).

Hi Nadine, I just finished my 100km Camino Primitivo from Lugo to Santiago de Compostela. I learned a lot from your videos, so I was quite well prepared. Luckily, I bought a Camino Passport from Lourdes, France while on holiday there. Lugo Cathedral did not any stock. After some research, I managed to get it from the Lugo Camino Association which only open during certain time only. I couldn't imagine starting the Camino walk without a Camino Passport at the 100 km point.

I'm happy to watch vids from other long distance hiking trips. Norway sounds great!

I’ll be walking sanabrés next fall and your vídeos really helped. Thanks!

We did the Vía de la Plata from Sevilla to Mérida a couple of weeks ago. Looking forward to seeing how you get on in Norway. Haven't watched the Perú series yet.

so glad to see you hale and hearty...especially at the end of another school year! I find it amazing that you were able to do the trek in Peru and then get back to school. I had plans for an early summer return to the Camino, but health and life issues have intervened for now. So I will try some of the early stages nearby of the Mission Walk in California. So cool that you are a Phillies fan, I have a number of friends who are too, but that being said, "Go Giants" especially over the next several days! be well, Nadine, and, of course, bc!

Thank you! My son's also an avid hiker, & his Mom's family is from Trondheim. Maybe an outing for us next year as a bit of memorial to his Mom. I really hope you post videos about your journey there.

Norway - Oh, my goodness😊 I am looking forward to this next adventure👏👏👏

I am flying out tonight to Madrid. Starting from SJPP Thursday 5/30 first timer, solo and you were part of my inspiration! thank you thank you! my pack is 13 lbs thanks to your videos and I am so excited!!!! ❤

Before you go to Norway, contact the DNT. (Der Norsk Touristforignen?). For a years membership, you’ll get a key to the mountain huts (hyttes). Which is your accommodation sorted out. They’re full of great advice. Well it’s their country after all…..

Spending 2-2.5 weeks on a Camino starting in Sept. Not sure which one. It will be my first. I'm looking at Sanabres or Frances :)

Great to see you branching out into treks in other countries. Norway seems fascinating, so I´ll be looking forward to this one! I´m going to do part of the Camino de Invierno when i´m back in the fall.

Nadine, I wanted to share with you that I just got back from my first ever Camino, the central portugués, with lots of encouragement and inspiration from your channel ❤ it was amazing and really inspired me to do more multi day hiking and walking trips or Caminos, I felt so safe and confident, and it was wonderful. Thank you for everything you do here! ❤

I hope you know how far its between the beds and how few they are over here... Havent walked it myself, yet, but its on the list. Gudbrandsdalsleden is very different from the caminos we know from Southern Europe, both in logistics and terrain... On the good side, everyone here speaks English and you are allowed to free camp. I wish you a great trip, looking forward to your updates, whenever they come. In Norway we say "God tur" (= have a good trip" when we go hiking or travelling). God tur and enjoy 🇳🇴

How about the Ingles from A Carina or the Portuguese and do the Spiritual variant after Norway?

I have a 35L backpack from a brand that I love but their 30L doesn't have a hip belt so I'm kinda stuck with the 35L. I just don't compact things as much but 30L is enough for you to be comfortable and still be below the recommended weight

Amazing footage at the site Nadine....I really had a sense of the magnitude of the views and altitude...thank you for making this series, you really captured your experience so well that it felt like part of me was walking with you.

P-H-I-L-L-I-E-S! My friend was on the camino (Frances) last month and met friend's of yours from PA. Small (camino) world!

My wife is looking into the La Via de Francesco, Camino St. Francis, in Tuscany, Italy. You may want to consider that one too... Buen Camino or however they say it in Norwegian!!

Looking forward to watching your Norwegian series! My great-grandmother came from Trondheim and I've visited the area before, but I'd love to walk St. Olav's Way!!

Norway sounds great, and a stark contrast from Spain (weather/land/language wise) I'll be following with interest as that's just a short hop across the channel from me, so you might end up expanding my bucket list. Have fun :)

Looking forward to hearing about your Norway adventure! Lots of Camino-like hikes around, I'm thijking about ones in Italy and Turkey too ...

Thanks for your update. I’m doing the Camino Norte in August. I did the Frances in 2022. This will be my second Camino.

Camino Convo with Nadine... yeah, there is a certain ring to that. St. Olav Ways sounds like an amazing time... bring mosquito repellent though. I was in Norway when I was 16 for the World Scout Jamboree. I's a beautiful part of the world. The people can seem reticent at first... but once you get to know them, they are some of the warmest folks you will come across. Looking forward to your videos. Cheers and adventure on!

Fascinating. All the best. I'm off to Sweden in late August to see my son and his family, so I'll be in the neighborhood. I'm writing from Australia.

That is fabulous. A friend of mine did the whole way a few years back. She loved it so good luck
