I can't wait to watch your Camino Portuguese video! My trip is booked for May 2024!

Yes, post more! Anything, everything... love your personality and would watch anything you share hehe Also, I'm doing my first camino in April and your videos have inspired me and helped me so much already!

Glad to see you back. Best advice: Never show your building or your general street. For those outside of the City we can't tell the difference, but you can never be too careful these days. Never let fear hold you back from anything in life. You are a very interesting, engaging and entertaining Blogger. I think you would be great at it. I look forward to all the videos you have lined up.

Welcome back from Camino, we missed you and can hardly wait for your film.Knew you and your mom would have a great time. All sounds good. See ya on Tour de Mont Blanc🎉

What I loved about your Camino film was the heart it had. It wasn't a guide to a physical journey, but rather a spiritual one. You're ability to connect with people really shone through. Maybe you can do that with NYC? Talk to real New Yorkers, tourists, friends etc, in cool locations. What do they love/hate about the city. I've been to NYC 4/5 times, but never much outside Manhattan. I think it's definitely changed over the last 20 years or so. Maybe there's something in noting that evolution? As an Irishman what's always fascinated me is the cultural melting pot it was/is. Most cities are that now, but NYC was that 150 years ago. The EU existed in the five boroughs long before it came to Europe. If you stand at the famine memorial in Lower Manhattan and look at what the Irish came from, to what they (and so many other nationalities) built all around it and over in Jersey, it gives you that feeling of how the American dream seemed achievable for all of them. It is the most graphic representation of 'rags to riches' I've ever seen. A relative of mine made a tonne of money in NYC in the early C20. Later, he lost most of it in the crash of 29. But the Department Store that he and his Jewish partner built still stands opposite Bryant Park on 6th Avenue. Today its lower floors are a Japanese bookstore and a Pret A Manger. I can look it and think how grateful I am that America allowed him to make so much money, send a lot of it home, bail my family out of debt, and be part of the reason I'm here. Your city is the reason that a lot of families, all over the world, could put bread on their tables. Also, where else in the world could I sit in a Japanese bookstore, and drink coffee in a building built by a Jew and an Irishman?

I met some Aussies on the Camino and somehow, while standing at one of those magical food stands, we ended up talking about your Camino video together 😂

I just finished a 12 hour nightshift and was so happy to see a notification on my phone that you had posted a new video. I love your Camino videos but also loved the new york walking video. I am travelling to New York in 2024 from Australia for a holiday so would love some more walking videos so I can see some different places to visit. Can't wait for your next video 😊

It was really nice to meet you and your mom in Barcelona! My Camino was a crazy experience that would require a long talk over a tinto de verano or 4. Thanks for stopping and chatting and I hope the flamenco show was a good one! Please do post more. Of course you’ll get criticism on here as it’s an online platform but remember there are a lot more of us here sending you un abrazo and positive thoughts.

Hi, I'm looking forward to your Portugal Camino vedio. I just did the Portugal to Santiago de Compostela Spain. We started in Lisbon and did a little part of the beach to Porto. Then, we continued on to Santiago de Compostela Spain. We did 25 days of walking with two days off twice in between before the end. We flew into Lisbon on September 4th, and our start day for the Camino was September 6th, which ended on October 4th at the Cathedral. We spent a few days in Santiago De Compostela Spain as a tourist before flying back to Lisbon for a couple more days as tourists. Then, we flew back home to Portland Oregon on the 8th of October. Looking forward to seeing your vedio. You do such a great job.

I think you're doing great. A natural. God bless.

Waiting to watch Camino Portuguese 🥰😚

I think the pressure of coming home and going to R.I. to do the shoot is indicative to the freedom you have in being single, not having to worry about putting someone else in an uncomfortable situation, It's a game we play with ourselves. I am much more free after my divorce as since then I have done cross country motorcycle trips, stayed at a nonastery in the French Alps etc., things my ex, therefore I, would never have done. Deep down inside, with all you've accomplished, the logistics were hard but you were confident you could do it. Putting oneself in uncomfortable situations is the game we play, extending the goal posts, because we are confident we can succeed.

I did the Portuguese route sept 15-27 so I just missed you, but your past videos inspired me to do this trip and I am excited to do the French route sometime in the distant future!

Looking forward to the Camino montage but looking to any contents to you upload really - ❤ Hugs from Canada

I can't wait to see your Camino Portugues video, you made me fall in love with the Camino Frances and I hope to be able to get there soon. I turn 40 this year, my daughter is in college, it would be a wonderful way for me to welcome my new chapter of life. I would love to see videos of New York in Christmas time.

I’m looking forward to your Camino Portugués video. I’ll be walking part of the Camino Portugués in the spring. Part of the reason I’m walking in the spring is because your CF video inspired me to do it. I’ve been planning on walking the CF when I retire in a couple of years, but after watching your CF video I decided that I did not want to wait that long to experience the Camino.

Omg, I got so excited when I saw you posted. So happy it all worked with your mom and can’t wait for the full video.

The cure for the post-Camino blues is exactly what you are doing. It was similar to my experience is that after the Camino Frances (2022) and I had that post Camino 'what now' feeling. I immediately began planning my next Camino, my next Scooter Cannonball across the USA and my next trip to Southeast Asia and so on. Keep up with the KZfaq postings and keep your creativity set on "high". Camino Frances for me mid-September 2024.

For other content I honestly think the way you did your Frances video would work so good for New York as well? Like just day to day, ‘interviewing’ people, like kind of humans of New York approach? You would honestly be so good at that. You did it so naturally on the Camino videos, you really are a great story teller in my opinion. And I’m stealing your ‘life is to short for that shit’ mode for the new year! Haha. X Nina

You are such a JOY ❤❤

Did the Norte (from Bilbao) this summer. Absolutely beautiful, highly recommended.

So glad you are back and posting again. I walked the Frances this year (Sept/Oct) and know all about the Camino Blues. You videos, all of them, cheer me up. Keep them coming and thank you!

Thank you for your great videos and impressions. Well… I guess I should also go, somehow the Camino calls me. Your video motivates me. Just started to search for equipment.

Excited to see the newest Camino journey!

Looking forward to your Camino Portuguese. Did I say I was not a big fan of KZfaq videos🤔,

So happy to see your new video. Looking forward to seeing your upcoming video of your new Camino.

wow, Stefanie, what an update... you went through so much, and sound quite 'casual' about it (probably only in retrospective)... I just couldn't believe my ears, to be honest! 😯WOW!! I bet, there were a lot of tears and moments of despair to get through... So good to hear, how the camino with your mom went... really looking forward to the video (perfect for Christmas!). Also the bit that you shared about how special Xmas is in NY makes me curious - looking forward to that too! Although it were mainly your camino videos which brought me to your channel, I'm also interested in more NY footage... I lived for 15 years in Berlin, and found it quite exciting to see, how I built my networks in the city... of friends, event places, cafes, eating places, parks, study/meditation/yoga groups etc etc... I'd love to hear more about that, although I don't expect that you will reveal your private life too much (and its good to draw a line somewhere), but what excites you about the city life. When I left Berlin (when I turned 40) I moved to the country side (but into an eco-village - so I have community and culture around me), and to be honest, never looked back... very happy now to live in a small rural environment with lots of nature, and not just parks, but unspoiled, wild one - magical dunes, and the sea (long + clean beaches) is 20 minutes away on foot, and fantastic mountains within an hour's drive ... in Scotland, my home country-of-choice... much love, and blessings on your next few weeks 💖

Subscribed. I thoroughly enjoyed your camino documentary. I watched the whole video that lasted a little over 2 hours as it gave me an idea of what camino is ( just newly heard of this from friends) and it was enjoyable to watch. Here’s to bigger KZfaq channel! You deserve it as you are very pleasing to eye and a great storyteller

Your first video was amazing I really enjoyed it, your dad would have been so proud of you. Really looking forward to your Camino Portuguese video. I’m going my first Camino in June and was planning on the Portuguese coastal but you might sway me with your video

Love you❤ You are a natural story teller and a very interesting person. Please continue with more videos 😊

I can’t wait to see the Portuguese video but would also love to see great restaurants in NYC!

So glad you're back 🙂🥰

It was great to see your post. I was honestly worried about your absence since you stated the Camino would be done in September. You are blessed to have been able to experience and share events of this magnitude with both parents. Great memories. I will say that you have inspired me to do my own Camino in the spring. Already started training. 😂 I need to, considering my age and previously sedentary life. I am really looking forward to the experience. I am looking forward to you sharing this last Camino. Keep up the great work! Mia San Mia!

Cant wait for your next camino video :) if you are thinking about the del norte i highly recommend crossing to the primitivo for the final part. its much harder but sooo worth it.

Did the Camino Portuguese from Porto last year, and Camino Frances this year in September.. It definitely " gets in your blood. " Looking forward to your video:)

Your storytelling style is very authentic. I’m sure any video you do will be worth watching. I would love for you to visit & review stores in Brooklyn, particularly eclectic ones.

Hi Stephanie, you make great videos! Congrats and thank you so much for being so informative compared to many others I’ve watched. Keep it up! Just one thing I need to ask… how much do your backpack weigh? Which model Osprey was that? Thanks a lot.. in anticipation for your reply.

Yay! So happy you're posting again!!! I am loving your video ideas but please be safe.

hey 😁 would like to see early morning views in NY, special places special times, people and animals 🤗 you will catch the right moments 😊

I would love to see art galleries!

Awesome…can’t wait for the video!

Thankyou

When are you posting yr Portugal Camino?

Very practical question. How did you like your 2L Cotopaxi bag? Was it the right size/durable?

Yay! Anything you want to share will be very welcome. If you were ever open to sharing your filming process/advice for how to capture meaningful moments without ripping oneself out of the present experience if even possible that would be awesome too!

Everything thet goes, including books, you don't need them anymore

Have you watched anything by Efren Gonzalez? He is a Camino blogger and you sound like you have similar aspirations. His content is a bit formulaic where your is wonderfully spontaneous. Enjoy your editing.

Where can i find your Portuguese video? Going in Sept☺️

I wanr to see allllllll the New York content... just film away from your home for privacy ❤
