i like your attitude and how you think about the whole languages thing. knowing many languages is awesome! but especially on youtube i see many americans who go to different countries for a year or several years and dont even bother learning the language! i am always shocked by that. i feel like talking to people is one of the most interesting things about traveling. i am just trying to learn korean so i can talk to people on my korea trip next year. :)

I walked the Camino in April in 28 days. and I usually suffer with planter fasciitis and had HOKKA Challenger atr5's on my feet the whole way. They are made with a huge arch support and a ridiculous amount of cushioning. I was averaging 40+ km every day and never had a blister or any problem at all with my feet and my pack was 13kg and more with food and water. I highly recommend these shoes for her if she wants to do more hiking!

Hey Dixie, am loving your Camino series, and you inspired me to hike the Tour du Mont Blanc this summer (which I highly, highly recommend.
Many places in Europe no longer give out drinking straws automatically now (because, as you found out, they blow away, make their way into rivers, then to the sea, and then end up stuck up a turtles nose.
A sustainable alternative is to buy bamboo or metal reusable straws.

It's always nice and polite to try and speak at least some standard sentences in the native language of the country you are visiting. In the recent years the southern part of Europe and Germany have picked up on their English so English as second language is pretty common now most of all in the tourist industry of course. Google translate works good. I'm having friends over from Brazil and use it a lot.

Very much enjoying your videos. I've hiked about half the camino - I lived in Bilbao and used to go down for four-day periods at Easter time over a number of years, but I left Spain I still have to finish some time. Your comments about people speaking English and what people lose by only speaking English is much appreciated.

I love that E. T. came along for the hike. :) Thanks for sharing your hike with us. As a former Camino pilgrim, your video made me very happy. I remembered all the amazing people I met and the generous hospitality of the Spanish people. Thanks again.

I love the fact that you've travelled to Europe for the first time and are clearly enjoying all the new experiences and cultures. Being from UK, I always think we're so lucky to have so many countries and different cultures on our doorstep.

No need to fell guilty or ashamed for not speaking multiple languages. The European continent is divided into several countries with different languages. Being able to speak multiple languages is a necessity. Not so in North America.

I've traveled over Europe and South America. Our lack of effort as a country with regard to foreign language is sad. Making a polite and sincere effort has always been met with graciousness in host countries, so that's how I proceed.
