How to Plan for a Long Distance Walk in Europe
It takes a lot of homework to plan a long distance walking adventure in Europe but it is FUN. And after you have done it the first time it gets easier.
While planning don’t forget to use self-compassion and mindfulness, especially if you are planning with a partner. And then pack these important tools with you.
Here are a list of helpful websites and suggestions. Happy Planning.
