Days We Spend
Shawn Forno & Lainey Silver are the couple behind Days We Spend — a travel platform they founded in 2019 “to share some of our favorite ways to spend a few days.” Now based in Spain, they document hiking the Camino de Santiago, relocating on the Non-Lucrative Visa, and life on the road — honest, hands-on travel from people who've done it.

About Days We Spend
Founded in 2019, Days We Spend is Shawn and Lainey's travel platform built around a simple idea: sharing their favorite ways to spend a few days. Their content centres on three threads — hiking the Camino de Santiago, relocating to Spain on the Non-Lucrative Visa, and converting a Honda Element into a DIY micro-camper for budget travel. As they put it: “If you want to plan your next adventure, hike your first Camino, or relocate to Spain — you've come to the right place.”
Guides and vlogs across multiple Camino routes, from first-timers to seasoned pilgrims.
