My Research: It's Dynamic, Not Static

I'm reading everything I can get my hands on.   As a solo traveler, knowledge is power.   By reading so much, I tend to get a lot of redundant information.  But, each person shares things uniquely and everything I read offers up various tidbits of information that will ultimately help me.

The plans I'd made initially, from the backpack I would carry to my flight destination in Spain, have changed several times...all because of the research I'm doing.

The APOC Forum on Facebook is one of the most helpful.   Here is where actual pilgrims....veteran and hopefuls....share their insight, their fears and their blessings.  https://www.facebook.com/groups/57453722347/   

The APOC Website.  Please join APOC and support their cause.  You will get a free patch for your backpack and a free credencial to take on your journey:  http://www.americanpilgrims.com/   

The Camino de Santiago forum where answers to questions of all kinds can be found :  http://www.caminodesantiago.me/board/  

Books I've read:

John Brierley's "A Pilgrim's Guide to the Camino de Santiago"

Hape Kerkeling's "I'm Off Then:  Losing and Finding Myself on the Camino de Santiago"

Shirley Maclaine's "The Camino:  A Journey of the Spirit"

Joyce Rupp's "Walk in a Relaxed Manner"

Susan Alcorn's "Camino Chronicles"

Cheryl Strayed's "Wild"

 Jean-Christie Ashmore's  "To Walk Far, Carry Less"

Conrad Rudolph's "Pilgrimage to the End of the World"

Blogs I follow:

Patricia Herr "Girls on the Way" is a wonderful day-by-day blog of their journey.  http://www.girlsontheway.com/   

Bill Bennett "PGSTheWay" is an Australian's journey.  http://pgstheway.com/

And, of course, Emilio Estevez's movie, "The Way".

I spend time reading & researching the Camino each and every day.  This list is not inclusive; nor does it end here.  I will update this from time to time.

Buen Camino!
