Camino Planning Support & One To One Coaching
Are you planning your first Camino and worrying that you might get it all wrong? Or have you fixed a date but you’re so busy with life you’re afraid you’ll miss something important?
I’ve walked more than twenty times. I’ve been visiting Spain for over 40 years. I’ve guided groups, volunteered in albergues and pilgrim offices, and supported hundreds of pilgrims as they prepared for their first steps.

A Few Kind Words From Others
“Just finished a wonderful hour of Zoom with Colleen. She’s lovely-fun, easy to talk to and a font of information. I’m feeling better equipped for my Camino in September!”
“Colleen, we used many of your recommendations as we walked our way through Portugal and Spain. We had the greatest Camino experience, and we wanted to give you our heartfelt thanks for your help.”
“We had a trip of a lifetime, thanks in no small part to your suggestions. Many thanks “

Don’t Forget Travel Insurance
Whenever you travel, you should have great travel and medical insurance. None of us expect anything bad to happen, but in the event of an incident, you want to be sure that your insurance will cover you.
I’ve ended up in hospital in Peru, Indonesia, Portugal, Japan and Ireland. Every time my insurance took care of everything. I would never leave home without full and comprehensive insurance.
MondialCare : Due to increasing limitations, mainly due to age, we have recently switched to MondialCare for our travel insurance. We have taken an annual policy at a very reasonable cost that includes medical and other travel cover. There are no trip length limits and the upper age for cover is 84. For Camino walkers and travel in Europe they have a low cost Schengen policy with no age limit.
TrueTraveller : We have used this policy and were very happy with the cover, especially considering our ages and pre-existing conditions.
Globelink: We have used and recommended Globelink for years and not heard of any issues. They are a great choice for European and UK Residents.
Genki : This is an EU based company offering long term policies for nomads and travellers. Their monthly rates are very competitive for longer trips too.
