Camping is for adventurers

I don't use "hajk", but "hike", or "trekk".

When I was a kid, the whole family went on camping holidays in Europe for three years in a row and two weeks per summer. The youngest was my sister 5, the oldest was my brother 14 and I was in between. We had dedicated goals for the trips but pitched tents at various campsites on the way there and back and all five of us crammed into an old Saab 900. I remember a lot about those trips and I think it was probably somewhere where the whole love of travelling was born. And that I love travelling/driving.

Now we do not tent more than if we make mountain trips, but possibly we take a race this summer with more tent nights instead of expensive hotels when we are going to do Norway. Freedom reigns! 🙂

Great post. You can lead the way on this - you are cool and you are campers. So camping is cool.
?

Yes, there is more adventure if you go camping than if you stay in a hotel, more independence, more freedom, more nature experience! I went on a camping holiday with my family every year when I was a kid and have great memories of it, not to mention Sverkers about my camping adventures in a "motorhome" or rather a car with a mattress and a stove. Two trips to Australia and many trips to Gotland. Now it was a long time ago so now it's time again. We will borrow a campervan and discover more of Portugal for a couple of days during the Easter holidays. It will be great fun!
I actually use the word hike when I hashtag pictures from walks along the sea. 🙂

Yes, there are certainly many different ways to camp. I also like camping in secluded places, on a lonely beach, a cliff in Iceland or in the bush in New Zealand.

Here, camping is almost a national religion and at Christmas everyone either goes on a camping holiday, to their batch (the family's humble summer cottage) or out on the boat. A chocolate calendar I saw last Christmas said Kiwi Christmas. Below the text, Santa was sitting in a deck chair outside the tent, with the kayak outside, a beer in his hand and the grill on.

Your motorhome adventures are amazing and inspiring!

Words related to caravan owners and campers:
Low income/unemployed, workout clothes, tattoos, men with jewellery in their ears, barbecue and beer (belly), camping chairs. low intellectual conversation. moonshine, damp and ugly clothes, Ullared's design, white trash or in summary....

I agree, camping is for adventurers. You only have to look at the pictures in the post to realise that.

Camping is great, I would love to have a campervan and move around, perfect for the freedom lover 🙂.

How nice the new theme was, airy and calm as well. And space for pictures, I like that 🙂

I have previously praised you for the blog. And now when I bought "Motorhome and Caravan" for that reason, I felt a tremendous desire to just drop everything and go on the road. Unfortunately, life is not like that, so I have to make do with nice blogs. My children gave me a blog site for my birthday a year ago. Now you have inspired me to do some writing. My question is what tools do you have? Ipad, laptop or bigger stuff. Is it difficult to post pictures and can you post all the pictures you take yourself. I know it is sensitive with children, but are there other restrictions?

Have camped a lot in younger ages and travelled around the USA and with tents and we then alternated hotel / motel accommodation with camping and then in tents. We have also travelled around the USA with a camper, "folk bus". On N.Z. it became a motorhome.
I've also done some camping in Europe, and it's been in tents.
And when I've hiked in the mountains in Norway and Sweden, I've also camped and always brought a tent.
We have also spent a winter week in a rented caravan on a pitch in Sälen and it worked well.
In the south of France we rented a large caravan for a couple of weeks at a very nice campsite with all the comforts and large plots included.
Today I was going to fly south and rent a motorhome in the country.
However, some have experience as boat campers. A bit the same as with a motorhome ....
I'm glad you brought up this topic and the word means different things to us.

Maybe you should also get a definition of the word camping from Boverket as well. I myself go further in my "Camp".

How wonderful that you bring this up, as the thoughts about this have appeared many times in my own head. Many times I have felt that I had to defend my motorhome use with an explanation about this. Certainly completely unnecessary because it is my preconceived opinion about what people think of us campers. Haha! Hope it's ok that I share?! /Sofia

I'm a bit late on stage.
To me, 'camping' has always meant putting up a tent.
I still think it sounds weird to say camping, when you take
home with a sling on wheels. Snail journey ??? Turtle trip??? 🙂
We often went camping with the kids. In California, you didn't have to worry about...
for rain in the summer months, except in the higher areas of the city.
Sierra Nevada.
Being a scout leader for 6 years, camping with little girls is an adventure,
I should say.

The most interesting camping trip was by canoe in Ontario's lake district.
My husband and I plus our two children (15 and 20). Two Canadians packed
and we paddled on three lakes. The canoes had to be carried (portage) between
the lakes. It was true wilderness camping. The water so clean that it
could be drunk. After we set up camp, we took a sight-seeing tour.
on the lake. We did not meet any other campers.

Here, motorhomes are called 'trailers'. Trailer parks are everywhere, where they,
who can't afford to buy a house, live - A patronising term is 'trailer trash'.
But then, of course, there are the up-scale stands, where the monster...
trailers can be parked.

Whatever I think about motorhomes, I enjoy reading about your travels.

Camping is definitely for adventurers, I think! The first thing I think when I hear the word camping is like camping in the wilderness (after that comes motorhomes and the like). Nothing for the charter tourist, I feel.
