Packing Tips and Tricks
-Pack a dress/romper/cozy clothes for after walking amzn.to/3GcB3vy
-Bring pajamas rather than always sleeping in walking clothes
-Have blister prevention socks that are thin amzn.to/3UMzXfb
-Put vaseline on your feet before you put your socks on amzn.to/3Xl3uOT
-Moleskin: Cut a hole in the middle of your pieces to allow your blisters to breathe amzn.to/3WPWcCU
-Get your shoes one size up
-You can bring hiking shoes or regular walking sneakers, lots of hokas! Make sure your shoes are comfortable
-Needle and Thread Method of popping your blisters, leave the string in your blister so it doesn't continue to refill amzn.to/3ieK535
-Bed bug treatment: I sprayed it on every bed I slept on and on my pack every time I arrived at a new place amzn.to/3FoL0pk
-Some albergues provide disposable sheets/pillowcases, but some people will bring their own amzn.to/3ImVxV8
-Have a converter with more than one outlet - helps when there are limited options amzn.to/3Yaf0h5
-Fleece hat with light amzn.to/3UNT602
-You can put your phone in your packs waist strap and use your phone flashlight
-I brought a sleeping sheet/mummy liner and it was all I needed. I did travel in September so the weather was not too cold, but I slept in layers when it was a chillier night amzn.to/3ImVxV8
-There is a lot of snoring so ear plugs are helpful amzn.to/3hf0l3z
-Eye masks are also nice because people are coming in and out late at night or early in the morning amzn.to/3YfF9ej
-Airpods/headphones were nice to have to listen to music, podcasts, or audiobooks amzn.to/3W7B4Hc
-The app Libby connects to your local library and you can borrow books/audiobooks from your library for free libbyapp.com/i...
-Helpful apps I used were CaminoTool and BuenCamino
-Using a SIM card is nice and not too expensive. 20 GB should be more than enough. It is nice to have to communicate with new friends (mostly on WhatsApp) or to navigate on the camino apps
-My water bladder made it really easy to have access to water while I was walking. I usually only put 1.5L because water is pretty accessible along the way. It helped me stay hydrated without having to worry about taking a water bottle out amzn.to/3Bnr2df
-Bring a light plastic water bottle to carry around with you after you are done with your walking day. It’s important to stay hydrated
-Bring a small backpack for showering with your clothes/essentials and you can use it when exploring the small cities for a warm layer/charger amzn.to/3FGMA7a
-Scissors would have been nice to have! Especially for my moleskin because I had to buy pre-cut blister bandaids. I don’t think you can travel with these so double check! amzn.to/3i9t1eR
-If you want to save money, buy your certificate case before going to the pilgrim office
