  • I've liked camping since I was young. Our family used to go camping in a tent in France and Croatia and nowadays you have tents in all shapes and sizes. In our own country, in many places in Europe and the other side of the word. I am an outdoor person and I don't like sitting still. When I get back to the campsite after a long walk or outing, I usually play a game of badminton, jeu de boules or table tennis.
