Dave, the video is more than showing the scenery from place to place. It is a celebration of companionship and community! Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful video David,.. Congratulations to finish your second Camino and I can't wait to have my first one in September. Looking forward for your other Vlog!
Hi David – nice to see your video. My sister and I did the Camino Portugal walk in May and we loved it. We took the central walk and it brought back memories when I was watching your video. Did you stay in albergues? If so, how was your experience? I’m planning to stay in Albergue in my next walk and carry my stuff with me. We used a travel agency who arranged the accommodations and transporting our luggage. But I want to do the real Camino experience. I saw your first Camino in France and I fell in love with it. That was the reason why we went but did the Portuguese way as we only have limited time. Take care.
I'm happy for you! ☺️This is so amazing! 👍last summer I was on the Camino primitivo, this summer I will do the Portugal camino! Good luck!!!👣
Nice impressions of cultur, history, nature and friendship. A celebration of the meaning of life. Finding yourselve and finding others.
belle ballade ……
That was really beautiful. Beautiful people, places, experiences! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Wow, My best friend, I liked the video very much, thanks you for sharing, stay safe, stay blessed

Hermoso vídeo, saludos desde Panamá.
Świetni ludzie, piękne widoki oraz miejsca, film odzwierciedla całą podróż, miło było poznać ☺️
It was an immense joy to watch your beautiful summarising video, I could revive my own moments. Thank you for making & sharing it. 🙏 Suseia! ❤
Film pięknie nakręcony z dobrymi emocjami! Dziękuję – ruszam w tą samą drogę w przyszłym roku.
Extraordinario, Gracias..desde Veracruz. México 🤩
Thank you for sharing. I remain hopeful for a October 2022 Camino Portuguese from Lisbon. I was blessed to walk the Camino Frances from Roncevalles to Santiago last Sept. / Oct.
Well done!!! Another 1 M plus video. Thank you for taking us along and sharing your journey. I’m still on day 8 of the Camino Frances and this video inspired me to look into Camino Porto. Thanks David!!!
At first, the journey may seem endless, but in the end there is an end. So, it seems that I want it to end, but I also want it to continue. I've joined your journey with you. Walking alone in silence is wonderful, but walking together is also fun.
The Camino gives us both.
As I said before, you seem really insightful. Also, you have great video editing skills. Buena suerte! Hasta luego!
It’s a happiness!
Do you take groups? I’d love information and would love to experience the walk, the people & the gift of it all. 🥰
A beautiful video David. I watched your daily video also and enjoyed your dialogue. In this video I guess it can be enjoyed by anyone because it is totally visual (no language barrier). Well done. Lovely scenery. I love the inclusion of your fellow travellers. What's next?
