Hi!
I’m Nicoletta, originally from Germany, and I’ve been living in Porto since November 2022.
The Person Behind your-camino.com
I’m not a travel agency – no agency at all. I don’t talk about “we” or “team.”
When you book here, you’re booking the qualification and expertise of Nicoletta. Someone who, years ago, walked a Camino while living with complex PTSD, anxiety disorder, and residual depression – and who, despite lacking support during those two weeks, grew more on that pilgrimage than in the years of therapy that followed.
Someone who decided to become a Camino planner to support others not only with the practical aspects of their Camino, but also emotionally – because the Camino is not just a hiking holiday.
Someone who works with passion. For whom you’re not a number in a system. Someone who is there for her pilgrims around the clock, whether she’s sitting with friends at a restaurant or going through a crisis herself.
Someone who keeps going even if it is not a well-paid job. Because there’s nothing more rewarding than seeing people growing and experiencing something life-changing.
Someone who works way too many hours and still contributes to the pilgrim office in Porto as a volunteer, because she loves to support people that supports others.
Someone who walked around 4000km on the Camino herself and knows every stone by name.
I’m a German with an Italian name living in Portugal – combining German reliability, Italian passion, and the warmth of the Portuguese people.
