Planning a long walking route can be overwhelming especially if it’s your first Camino. We’ve walked every route of the Portuguese Camino more than once and have a lot of knowledge and experience.
We’ve had many people asking to help them with their planning or to do it for them. Finally we decided to offer the service. For now only for the Portuguese Camino because we know it very well and we live in Portugal.

Who are we?
We are Campbell and Alya creators of Stingy Nomads travel blog and YouTube channel. The first time we walked the Camino in 2018 it was the Portuguese route from Lisbon and we fell in love with it. A few days after arriving in Santiago we took a bus and started waking the Camino Primitivo. Since then we’ve spent every year walking different Camino routes.
Camino basically changed our lives. After spending months walking through Portugal (not only the Camino but other routes) we fell in love with the country and decided to move here. Our daughter was born in Portugal. We are very lucky to be able to walk any parts of the Portuguese Camino any time we want.

The pretty half of Stingy Nomads, responsible for all our land adventures (hiking, climbing, walking the Camino) and following them write-ups. Alya loves walking since she was a child, she prefers to walk 1000 km with a backpack rather than to do a 10 000 km road trip (actually any road trip). Alya is a big fan of Latin America, the Spanish language, and dancing. Every time we go away she desperately misses our dog Chile.
