When I travel, I usually stay in a hotel where I can shower every day and make sure I’m not freezing (I’m cold all the time, for real). But in September, I decided to join my boyfriend on a fishing trip in the South of France. It was the first time in 5 years I went along for a week. So I have to say, it was a challenge sleeping in a tent, far away from the luxury of warm water, shower, laptop and cell phone. Yep, back to basics: the simple life!
What did I do the whole week? I made sure everything stayed clean, prepared food and helped him making pictures. I brought along some books and magazines but I barely had time to read them.
Verdict? It was an awesome trip! I had such a nice time and will definitely do this again. The location was so beautiful and peaceful and I actually enjoyed not worrying about what to wear for a change. My boyfriend caught a lot of fish, even the biggest fish of the lake (he throws them back after he makes a picture with them, as a true fish lover), mission accomplished!
Tomorrow I’ll post some pictures I made with my cell phone during the trip. The quality is a bit off, but I like them anyway.

Hey,
I’m new to blogging… And I’ve just stumbled upon yours. I love it.
Thanks for sharing
Join the club!
And welcome, I hope you enjoy blogging and following blogs. I wish you all the luck and will check out your blog definitely 
Looks heavenly! my husband keeps suggesting camping…maybe I should give it a go!
Thanks! You should try it some time, definitely. It’s a nice way to get away from all the noise and stress
Or you can even combine it: few days of camping, the rest of the days staying at a hotel 
This is good news. I am not much of a camper, and yet I’ve agreed to go camping this summer. Good to know you liked it.
Just sit back and relax. It will be awesome
Girl you are braver than me! I just don’t think I could handle camping. Especially since I’ve seen way too many scary movies about psychos at camp grounds
I think I would be scared the whole time!
Love your blog!
Haha yeah, at night it could be scary sometimes, but I tried not to think about it too much. And I gave scary movies up a long time ago, they freak me out
Thanks for visiting! 
My boyfriend is a fisherman too! He catches and releases too
Simple food is often the best and who needs fancy food when you have a view like that!
So you know the drill too
That’s so true!
Fishermen usually likes to have a photo from their catch, particularly when it’s a big one. I often helped a friend for the photographic part. A nice week that you had there.
I sure did
Nice that you helped your friend with the pictures! It’s hard if they have to do that all by themselves.
Usually fishermen call it “no kill” the habit to release the fish just after the catch. For the scary movie you thought of “delivrance” or “the blair project” I presume?
I never saw Delivrance, but the blair witch project was definitely a scary movie that came to mind
It’s better that you never saw Delivrance because all the violent crimes occur along a peaceful river. If you did you would never dare to approach a river again. For a fisherman girl friend it would be a pity!
Oh no! Good to know, now I’m sure I’m never gonna watch it
