Hi! I am a little overwhelmed by the number of app options! I am hoping to save some albergues that I am interested in staying at. Is there an app that allows you to do this, so I can see where I have saved in the area I will be heading the next day?
Hi! I am staring my camino in Porto on Aug 29th and plan to start with the Litoral route before crossing over to the central route and adding the spiritual variant. I am hoping to be pretty "go with the flow" and not have to plan my stops too far ahead, but am getting worried about not being able to find accommodation or having to spend more.
I have seen a lot of advice that recommends staying "off stage" and I love the idea of this, especially because I know it is peak season and I'm seeking as much isolation as the route will safely allow.
Would be so grateful for any advice!
Hi all! I am taking a redeye but want to give myself a day to adjust before I start walking. Where should I stay in Porto when I arrive? I am planning to start on the Litoral route and want to go to the cathedral and get some snacks when I land :)
I'm also (very lightly, lol) considering the possibility of starting after I land... I get in around 10am so feel like I could probably do 5 or so miles that day, but given that I have two full weeks to walk (hopefully including the spiritual variant), I'm thinking that isn't necessary.
Hi all! My friend is doing an engagement photoshoot in the city at the end of August and will be doing it half in a fancy h*tel and half outside. They want to do the outside photos in a large, grassy field that looks as little like the city as possible. I'm linking some Pinterest inspiration photos. I am mostly familiar with the park in the 80s and below and would love any input on what might be the closest to what they are looking for. Would potentially be open to outside Central Park, but needs to be in Manhattan due to photographer policies. I know we aren't going to find anything *exactly* like this without leaving the city, but would greatly appreciate any ideas!
Hi all! I’m being so indecisive about which of these two backpacks to use for my Camino trip. I walked with them both for 30 mins weighted at 25lbs but can’t pick which fits better. I feel like they look pretty similar on but wanted to see if anybody had insight on the fit!
Hi! Has anybody ever gotten balloons filled (ideally in the 60s or 70s) that they did not buy at the store? I have a dozen balloons to blow up for this weekend
Hi! In a few weeks, I am starting the Camino de Santiago and will be walking 150 miles from Porto to Santiago de Compostela.
I am the kind of person who is always listening to music, a bit to drown out my thoughts, and I challenging myself not to while walking 10+ hours a day and just be with myself quietly.
That being said, I want to start each morning with listening to the same song once. I feel like I need a song that encapsulates what I’m trying to get from the experience and gets me mentally excited for a long, hard day.
I am seeking: hopeful, adventurous, turning-a-new-leaf, discovering yourself, letting go of the past and looking forward to a brighter future all wrapped up in a song
Chicago by Sufjan Stevens would be perfect but I already have a lot of things I associate with this song and I’d rather something new to me.
I would be so grateful for any recs!
Hi everyone!
I am back to dating after a hiatus and am doing so intentionally (looking for "the one" lol). I am not looking on specific apps like Feeld because I don't think that will land me where I want to be.
So my question is when dating, when do you bring up your particular interests? How do you start the convo and what do you say? I know that being direct is very important before any sort of actual sexual contact, but are there ways to "soft launch" the conversation?
I have had some very bad experiences in the past which has led to conversations about sex being a bit harder for me, obviously still something I do because I have to, but I guess that is why I'm looking for a little extra direction.
For some context-- my interests are varied but mostly to the more common side (spanking, slapping, and choking -- which is not mild but maybe more of a commonplace kink?) I think it would be hard for me to be with somebody who didn't take on a dominant role and had no interest in playing around with pain. There is a lot I would like to explore (more intense bondage, pushing dynamics further, sensory play, etc) but I think I'd be totally content in a relationship with somebody who didn't feel as adventurous.
