RE: Cooking BREAD on a campstove in Chilean Patagonia // Backcountry Gourmet #1: Origin Story
Ha ha - you sound like a great travel partner!!! Have you ever thought of doing the Caminho de Santiago? Probably seems pretty lame to the stuff you're used to - although I was thinking it could be interesting to try and forage my way around it to give it an extra spin.
I say go for it. I bet Caminho de Santiago would be amazing, and foraging is the best! Personally, I'm more into getting to know places and staying a while than covering distance these days, so my trips are often some kind of hike in -> set up basecamp by a lake or something -> do daytrips and come back home. I am also just mindful of the wear and tear backpacking with lots of weight has on my body... when I had to walk those 60km back in the above story, my knees were sore for weeks.
He he, I normally stay somewhere for a year at a time :) Looking forward to freedom after my PhD when I can explore a bit!
