I have always loved hiking and could spend hours talking about gear, sites, and outdoor adventures. This site is where I can share all the fun times I'm having, how I live my simple life, and the tricks I've learned about how to do it all as a vegan.

I can't get my current photos to load on Google Plus yet...so I guess I will just type for now. My mind has been scrambling the last few days, getting from place to place. I think walking the Camino will be easier because the path is laid out for you. Not so much the days leading up to it. Yesterday, for example, I took a train to Pamplona (I was so excited about figuring out the two trains I needed to take for that). But once I got out I realized that there were no wifi hotspots at the station. I bought an international package through AT&T before I left...but that only promised me the ability to connect to a bunch of available hotspots....hotspots that weren't popping up at the station. I ended up turning on my "roaming" so that I could use my HostelWorld app and book a room. The hostel was about 3 miles away so I decided to turn on "maps" and hoof it. They have round abouts in the city and my little beacon kept giving me misleading information. I only had an hour of sunlight left. I decided that I should try calling a taxi....using "roaming charges" to look that up. (I haven't found a market with a SIM card yet.). Finally, I waited at a bus stop that looked like it would go in the right direction. I took a screenshot of the place I was going with its address. When the bus arrived, I showed the picture to the driver. Thankfully, he said yes and brought me there...letting me know when it was time to get off! The kindness of strangers to the rescue! When I sat down to dinner at my hostel, I felt so grateful to have found my place to stay before dark, the goal for that day met. ✅
