Oh Stephanie! Again, I sit here with emotions stirring after watching your video!! I literally cried with your last Camino!! You are one fantastic storyteller. Your mom is as beautiful a soul as you are, she must be so proud of the woman she raised. This time together will be cherished forever. It’s obvious how much you miss your dad - have that cry and walk on!! Buen Camino from Orlando, Florida!!! God’s blessings to you both.

I love your camino videos! You've been part of my inspiration to go on my own grief walk after loosing my mom. And I completed the portuguese route in July of this year. It was very hard, blut glad I went through with it. You and your mom are so cute together 🥰

Stephanie, I enjoyed your France to Spain video. I have been looking forward to see your Portugal to Spain video. I did the Lisbon to Santiago Spain last September 2023. I only stayed in one hostel. It was at Mosteiro de vairlapo. We had private rooms. The staff volunteers were very nice. I've been thinking of starting a KZfaq to post my Camino. But I don't know how to go about it? Thank you for sharing your knowledge and adventures.

Just an FYI, in case you frequently leave rude comments on KZfaq videos... The creator gets sent the original comment. So even if you edit it to make it less rude, the first thing they see is what you wrote first (how much this video sucks).

Hi Stefanie, I finished walking the Camino Francés on 25 July (just over 4 weeks ago). I first thought of doing it on 1 June and left New Zealand on 16 June so I had little time to prepare. Amongst others I watched your videos and I want to say they were a big help. I only wore Keen Newport H2 sandals, no socks - fantastic. I have just decided to walk it again next year and leave a week or so later to catch the sunflowers in bloom, and am considering following your lead this time and wearing Chacos - were they as good on your 2nd Camino? I found the Keens superb although slightly too narrow for my feet (I often walk barefoot, and might walk parts of it barefoot next time). I love it. So … are you going to do another? Maybe the Primitivo or Portuguese? I want to walk the Francés again because while I walked the whole way, I want to stay in different towns and albergues, learn some Spanish before I go so I can communicate with the locals better (which I loved doing despite the language barrier). Take care, Alex

...loved this video so much, Stefanie, and its been so nice finally meeting your mom (and can't wait to see Andre again in Part 2)... the flow of you weaving your inner camino, thoughts, feelings, anxieties & happiness, into your outer camino, is so touching and spell-binding... I feel so much empathy for you... your thoughts and feelings about your parents remind me very much of my own journey (my parents both died within the last 4 years)... yes, we become aware of how life can feel like a fleeting moment, and when our loved ones go, there is no turning back of the clock anymore... and eventually we will get there ourselves, at the crossroads of life and beyond... you also touched a very crucial reflection of today's breathless culture: to get nervous, when there is nothing left to do... like hamsters in a wheel, that don't know what to do, when it suddenly stops... I think, thats why meditation is so hard for us... and so important... ...if we would meet on the camino (my 3rd one is still waiting to come, maybe next year) I'm sure we would have a wonderful and deep conversation, and quite a laugh too (life's paradox: its serious, and at the same time also not)... thank you so much for being so open, vulnerable and enthusiastic, Stefanie... sending you a heart-felt 'ultreya' 😎💖🌈

"Sit down and cry by yourself if you need to, and then ... keep walking." What a great way of looking at life. I'm a 45 year old guy, so I'm not into all of this weepy emotion sometimes expressed by modern youth. You seem like a more sensitive soul, but clearly you've still got your head screwed on and your shit together. Congratulations on another terrific film.

What a wonderful record of your journey with your mom and yourself. I thought it was sweet how you worried about her when she went ahead of you that day. How the roles were reversed from when you were young or even when you went on your first two Caminos. It was also refreshing to see your vulnerability in missing your dad. This video was so full of the love you have for both of your parents. And all of this with the images of the Camino Portugues! So enjoyable sipping coffee on a Saturday morning in North Carolina with my two dogs. Thank you for this gift to us all!
