Wow! You're so close! Congratulations! Such an exciting time. I will be sure to check out your videos too! Buen Camino, friends! ✨
I love this video! I will be doing exactly this section in 1 week and I can’t wait x
You’re so inspiring as usual!❤️
Thank you so much! ❤
Fantastic work! You gave me goosebumps with all your nuances...Thank you for sharing and I look forward to your next video!

Loved your video. Looking forward to enjoying the rest of your journey. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much ♥️
Your video was extremely well done; thank you!
Thank you SO much for your comment! Making these videos has truly been a labor of love. It's so nice to hear your thoughts! 💜 Stay tuned for more to come soon!
Jen, just found your channel. Thank you for this honest video. You are inspiring me to do this. I am going to start “training” for the walk which I hope I will make it next year.
Thanks for all your infor, doing great
My pleasure! Thanks for leaving a comment!
I love this move.This is so sophisticated.
and philosophical.
Well done. Young lady
You filmed that really well!
Thank you so much! ♥️
I watched your TH-cam. Your every video is really awesome.
Great video! I did the Frances trail May/June of this year. What a grand experience!
It's an experience of a lifetime! 💜 Great to connect with a fellow pilgrim!
Great video, I walked last October had the time of my life, I am headed out to walk again this May from Saint Jean to Burgos, last October I walked from Pamplona to Santiago, this video was what I was looking for, thanks, Buen camino
It is no problem to walk from St Jean to Roncessvalles on a single day .. i did it already 4 times ..
Your story is compelling, also inspiring. I am much older with lots of travel experience, yet a little nervous about my upcoming Camino from St Jean this coming July. Buen Camino
Thank you for these kind words!! I think I will always be nervous before any trip, especially if I do the Camino again someday.
Respect young lady 👍 great video
Thank you!
what a memory!
It really is! Buen Camino, friend ❤️
I did camino francés to Finisterre in the fall of 2021 …Proud of you.
Amazing! Thank you! Buen camino ✨
You did really good! And luggage transport, why not, it sure is comfortabele! An occasional private room, yes, absolutely, I die that most of the time!
On my way to Santiago de Compostela this year, I cycled the biggest part (from my home in Belgium) and walked about 150k. That was the crossing of the Pyrenees and the last 5 days from Sarria!
It was such a great experience!
I'll try to watch some more of your journey!
Trekkingpoles are great!
Have a great day!
Kaat
Thanks, Kaat! That’s incredible that you cycled from your home in Belgium. Amazing to hear that you made it all that way. Thanks for sharing your story! 🙌🏼 Buen Camino ♥️
😉👍
I don’t blame you for taking a little bit of luxury with private rooms and a lift on your backpack. I would probably rough it the whole way, wishing that I was staying in a nice bed with a private shower.
I’m super excited to try this myself, and every video from you guys is an inspiration .
Thank you so much for saying that! For me, it was good to have a balance especially in the beginning when my body was adjusting to life on the Camino and sleep was super important. So glad to hear you’re inspired to do your own Camino ♥️💕
Loving the videos! Which time of the year did you go?
Thank you so much! I walked from the middle of August to the end of September :)
Jen how heavy was your pack? Did you end up 'ditching' unwanted stuff?
Hi Jen, really enjoying your Camino journey! Can I ask what month you walked?
Hey there! I walked the Camino last August through September. It was an incredible time, with its own set of challenges and beauty. Thanks for following along!
Camino montra = Walk, eat, sleep, repeat
I just saw the bathroom reflection, did you use and film the entire camino on a gopro? great vids! Thx.
Yes, I did! The majority of footage was shot on my GoPro Hero 11. A few but not many shots were taken with my iPhone and a mirrorless Sony a6700 also
@@jenontherunn I watched the entire series, very cool videos and editing. I'm planning my Camino for next year. Thx.
Great video. What date did you begin?
Thank you! Mid-August to the end of September
What month did you travel, walk?
Ok, August. I saw the answer.
Hi Jen, Richy in Pismo, I'm planning my Camino at the end of March, You just brought up a concern I have as I plan to just carry on my 20 lbs or less pack including my new sticks I just replaced. How much were the poles that you bought in Pamplona? as I will be pissed if they don't let me carry on in my pack. Thanks and I am on your first episode so like a good book don't tell me how it goes. Thanks, Rich "Woodman" PCT 88.. and forever..
Hi Richy, thanks for your comment. So excited to hear you're going on the Camino in March! The poles I purchased in Pamplona ran me about €120 for the set (€50 each). Pricey, but seriously worth it. I bought the carbon fibre ones, which are very lightweight, and I'm glad I did. There is also a gear store in Saint Jean where you can get yours at. I've heard that you can check a bag with poles, but can't carry on it on. Consider that the cost of checking a bag may equal the cost of new poles. LMK if you have any more questions!
Did you visit Roncesvalles? I don't think so!
When did you walk again? We were there in late Sept/ early Oct 2023. My wife is walking again this time from France, she's watching your adventure now. 🙌🫶🙌
So glad to hear she’s watching too!! How was the weather at that time? Funny story - I actually had originally booked a sept 20 flight to Madrid but then switched to August 😆
@jenontherunn wow, u would have possibly met her, the first day was cold, we expected rain, but it didn't happen, a heat wave swept in was around 90° for a while, and then perfect at the end 😀
Please, what month and day did you begin? Thanks
August 16 to September 20!
What month(s) did you walk?
I walked from mid-August to late September!
I’m trying to see which month you’ve started this journey.
August!
What time of years was this? I am going in April 2024
So excited you'll be walking the Camino next year! Congrats, you are going to have such an incredible time! 🎉 I walked my Camino from August to September 2023 - just got home a few weeks ago!
Awesome! Thanks for your response!!@@jenontherunn
Nice video
I thought I’d comment on your day 4
I’m 72 in a couple days
Have walked the Camino 4 times in the last 10 years
Definitely great choice staying at Orrison, I can’t fault that place
Wrong choice staying staying at hotels especially as you’re so young to meet some amazing people. Staying in hotels results in isolation and not enough knowledge being shared, how and what to do about aches and pains and Blisters.
Don’t shower in the morning, softens your foot skin and damp feet is your enemy.
You’re shoes look too new and reason for your blisters, not enough break in time.
Staying in hotels results in late starts and September is hot.
Early mornings are the best for walking.
These are not criticizing you, these are the things we do and hopefully someone will read these things and learn from my mistakes.
Aloha, Buen Camino and God Bless America
What airport did you fly into
I flew in and out of Barcelona! I think it would have been a bit more ideal however to fly out of Madrid, depending on where you’re starting the Camino.
@@jenontherunn how did you get to your start point
Train or bus or Uber
@@jenontherunn all we ever see is the start point never how to get there
I took a bus from Barcelona to Pamplona, where I took a taxi to Saint-Jean. You can also catch the bus leaving from Pamplona, but it only runs once per day. I believe it's at 12pm but I would double-check to be sure.
How much did you spend
Would you like to see a video with how I budgeted for the Camino? Let me know!
Yes, please
Working on it! Stay tuned for that video coming in the next few weeks 🙌
“Going off of testosterone” 😂
I know right 🤦🏻♀️ I meant to say adrenaline 😅 😆
Your Camino video is fantastic! I also have Camino content on my channel. Let’s support each other as fellow travelers!
