Thank you for the review. It is very helpful for my camino. But in order not to pick up / spread bedbugs I wouldn't put my backpack on the bed or spread all my things on it.
You're welcome! I'm glad it helped! Good point, put your sleeping bag first and then any items on top if you need to. Unless you do a RUclips Video :) @@anjabaumgart4606
Thank you so much for this video Jessie. I live in South Australia. I will be doing the Camino next June. You information has helped me to reasses my backpack size and minimise what I will take. I get very cold so that is a down side. I will have to be choozy on what I will take to keep warm. ❤
I’m so glad I could help and you will leave some things at home! I haven’t ever regretted not having something but I did regret carrying too much! I get cold easily as well, a fleece jacket and a medium sleeping bag will definitely do the job in June! Remember it’s summer by then in Europe :) Buen Camino to Australia!
Super helpful tips, thank Jess! I love to travel light and functionally and seems you got the essentials down packed :) You also look so great and so fresh after finishing the Camino :)
So true! That’s something I learned on the camino as well. The focus on the essential to see what’s really important in life and let go of the clutter in your life and in your mind x
hi! nice video. what size is your sleeping bag??I'm planning on buying the same one in size L, but I´m worried it won´t fit into my quechua 30L. I see yours fits
I’ll make a video on it as so many people are worried about it. But don’t let the fear creep in. It’s part of the Camino :) Some tips: 🐜 I would advise always using a bed sheet, even the ones you get at the Albergue. 🐜 You can spray your sleeping bag and clothes with an insecticide beforehand. 🐜Don't put your backpack or anything else on your bed mattress as the bugs are usually in there and will then travel with you :) 🐜 You can check your mattress with a flashlight as they usually hide in there. But I have done the Camino twice and only got it one single time. Good luck! Buen Camino
@@wanderlustpilgrim unfortunately I can’t tell you as I never weighed it. Anywhere between 7 to 12 kilos? 😬 But I am convinced that this is the absolute minimum I was able to achieve.
What is the name of the albergue? I will be finishing in May and would love a recommendation. Also, what would you suggest doing in Santiago? So many people must rush off to their "regular" lives, but I'd like to have some reflection time to consider what I have accomplished.
This is such a good point, I'll make sure to do a video on what to do once you arrive in Santiago! The albergue is called: Albergue Seminario Menor. It is a short max 10 minute walk to the Plaza de Santiago, but a bit on a hill (which provides great views). A bed in the dorm is around 20 Euros, I booked a single room for 25 Euros because I was dying for some good sleep and leaving my stuff everywhere :) So if you usually stay in albuergues on the camino, you will love this one. If you are used to something a tiny bit more luxurious, you might also book an air bnb and enjoy your accomplishment! I still wanted the pilgrim vibes, so loved the Seminario. It does close at midnight. I always made sure I have a couple of days in Santiago. To make sure I don't have to rush in on a specific day and also to take it all in once I get there. Some pilgrims rest and keep walking to Finisterre. Some leave right away. I made sure I have time for a Michelin star restaurant, sit on the plaza for 2 days straight and see friends and strangers walk in, enjoy the last days with my Camino family and reflect on the camino. Your body still wants to keep moving, so I walked around alot! :) Hope this helps and let me know if you have any other questions! Buen Camino! x
@@jessimoves I’m just in panic about get bug I already have the backpack like yours and my heat is orange heheh I’m not scary almost about nothing only about the bugs hehehe. I will get in Porto on August 29 Gratitude
@@lilipompom5 I’m excited for you! Don’t let the bed bugs worry you too much. I would advise always using a bed sheet, even the ones you get at the Albergue.

I did the French Camino in October/November and the Portuguese one in August/September. I think all these times were great. I have a packing video for my October November Camino as well to show what I packed there. Hope this helps! 🎒
Nice video! I went there last summer with a 16kg backpack (for a lot of reason actually) aha my foot was completely destroyed aha take a look at my documentary if you want :) Keep going!
Drop me any question in the comment section and I am happy to help if I can! Buen Camino!

Thank you!! The camino really gives you a whole new glow! I wish it stayed :)
Thanks for your great experience!👏 Minimalism is not only the best principle while traveling, but also for the whole life🙏

So ... do you know about how much your backpack weighed, fully loaded?

Do you have a video about the albergues please thx
Not yet but I’m working on one! Is there a specific question I can help you with until then?

Was it really all playback? I have the impression they sang partly theirself.
Are we talking about the obnoxious clapping or Milli Vanilli here? I’m a big fan. Of both.
In wich month did you go?:) want to Go in Nov and Sep but unsure if its too cold?
I did the French Camino in October/November and the Portuguese one in August/September. I think all these times were great. I have a packing video for my October November Camino as well to show what I packed there. Hope this helps! 🎒
Are you planning more Caminos in the future??
For sure! Ideally I would want to go every year but probably not feasible until I retire :)
Thank you ❤
I’m going on next August 29 Thank you so much
Do they accept this bag in cabin baggage
They actually did this time, but I wouldn’t count on every airline. I would risk it and see how you go :)
@@jessimoves hola from Santiago :) I brought the 40L version of this bag and they accepted.
❤
from wheere do you have short leggins which you wear on video please? they look awesome
whats the obnoxious clapping
Nice video! I went there last summer with a 16kg backpack (for a lot of reason actually) aha my foot was completely destroyed aha take a look at my documentary if you want :) Keep going!
Thank you! Yes it puts so much pressure on your body, I think we tend to forget that. Walking alone can be straining enough :)
