    I did the Camino twice , alone, and yes;sometime I splurge by taking a single room. But the cost you detailed are huge. Of course I always carried my backpack abd with flying from Italy and the train I did spent less than 2000euros and the first time I did it in 45 days, the 2nd time I took buses to cross the large town to avoid the suburbs. One of the purpose of the camino is frugality and it is a bit lesson. I did it when I was 68 and 69 year old.

    Great idea to do an UNpacking video! I’d love to see a quick follow-up video where you show what you would probably not take next time, and what you would likely add that you did not take last time, and why. My guess is that you would reduce the amount and variety of clothing to just enough for one week, and eliminate any other stuff that you did not end up actually using much, but every traveler has their own feelings about what they need to bring with them. I’m curious to see what changes you’d like to make.
