Bombardier Global 7500: The flagship from Canada

Bombardier is Canada’s answer to Gulfstream – and with the Global 7500, the brand has created a model that leads in several disciplines. Range: 7,700 nautical miles (over 14,000 kilometers) – enough for non-stop flights from New York to Tokyo or from London to Sydney. Cruising speed: Mach 0.925. Cabin volume: the largest of all ultra-long-range business jets on the market.

The cabin of the Global 7500 comprises up to four separate zones – including a real sleeping area with a double bed, a lounge, an office area and a fully equipped kitchen. New price: around 73 million dollars. The jet is manufactured exclusively in Montreal and is considered the direct answer to the Gulfstream G650ER.

Kylie Jenner: The pink Global 7500

Kylie Jenner loves the Bombardier Global 7500 – and makes this publicly visible. On her Instagram account, the cosmetics entrepreneur regularly posts from her jet, the interior of which is completely decked out in soft pink. What is a lifestyle statement for some is an operational reality for Jenner: as CEO of a global cosmetics brand, she commutes between meetings, shoots and events on several continents.

Kylie Jenner’s jet sparked public debate about celebrities and their carbon emissions after an Instagram post. Jenner had posted how she and Travis Scott asked each other at the steps of two parked private jets: “Which one do we take?” The community’s reaction was divided.

Jay-Z gives Beyoncé a Bombardier as a present

Jay-Z and Beyoncé fly a Bombardier Challenger 850 – according to reports, a personal birthday present from Jay-Z to the singer. The Challenger 850 is a midsize jet with a stand-up cabin and lie-flat capability – comfortable for transatlantic flights, with a fraction of the operating costs of a Global 7500, making the Carter couple one of the best-known Bombardier customers in show business.

Charter a Bombardier Global 7500: How much does a flight cost?

If you want to experience the comfort of a Bombardier Global 7500 without investing 73 million dollars, you will find good options on the charter market. All available models can be compared directly in the private jet comparison on privatejets.one:

• Ultra-long-haul (New York-London): from around €90,000 for an ultra-long-range jet
• Long-haul (Frankfurt-Dubai): from approx. 35,000 € in the heavy jet segment
• Short trip Europe (light jet, up to 6 pax): from approx. €5,500 – ideal for weekend trips to Monaco or Milan
• Empty Legs: return flights up to 75 % cheaper – ideal for flexible dates

The Global 7500 sets standards

The Bombardier Global 7500 is not only the largest private aircraft in its class – it is proof that comfort, range and design need not be compromised. Kylie Jenner has shown this in her own way with her pink cabin. Those who want to fly without a pink interior but with the same range and quality will find excellent options on the charter market.

Philipp Plein’s story: founding the company

Fashion designer Philipp Plein was born in Munich on February 16, 1978. Alongside the legend Karl Lagerfeld, he is one of the most successful and well-known designers in Germany and it is hard to imagine the fashion industry without him. He has definitely made a name for himself with his unusual pieces, and his pieces are recognizable at first glance!

In 1998, he founded his company International AG, which is now based in Switzerland. Before that, Plein studied law, but he didn’t seem to want to do that in the long term! He started designing furniture and then bags and accessories. In 2003, he was given the opportunity to design the lounge for Moet & Chandon at the German CPD trade fair in Düsseldorf. There he took his chance and sold his accessories, which he designed from old leather, for the first time.

The rest is history!

The last show of Philipp Plein:

Creation of his brands: Philipp Plein, Plein Sport and Billionaire

Shortly afterwards, he founded his fashion brand. Since 2004, he has been known for his extravagant, rocking “bling bling fashion”. Almost all of his garments feature skulls and plenty of rhinestones. In addition to his main fashion brand, which bears his name, his agency now includes Plein Sport and Billionaire. The brands cater to both men and women as well as the juniors among us. Billionaire is the only brand among them that focuses exclusively on men’s fashion. In addition to clothing and bags, you will also find shoes and fragrances in his store – so there should be something suitable for everyone!

• Born on 16.02.1978 in Munich
• One of the most famous fashion designers in Germany
• Founded company in 2004 (International AG)
• Philipp Plein, Plein Sport & Billionaire = International AG
• Fashion for men, women & kids

Its brands

The 42-year-old designer’s fashion is recognizable at first glance – there’s always a lot going on!

“I don’t want to be a follower. I want to be ME!”

(Source: GQ-Magazin.de)

And that is precisely the reason why his fashion is highly recognizable and can keep up with the biggest brands. Plein always tries to come up with something new.

In addition to his main brand, his agency also includes two other brands:

Philipp Plein

The brand is known for its unusual pieces. From leather jackets, T-shirts, jeans and sweaters to rhinestone and skull studded rucksacks – everything is eye-catching and extravagant – just like you know it!

Plein Sport

Plein’s sports brand offers just about everything you need for sport: sports bras, sports leggings, tops, outdoor jackets and shoes. With sportswear like this, it’s easy to fight your inner weaker self, isn’t it?

Billionaire

The Billionaire brand is aimed at men who can radiate self-confidence and want to put themselves in the limelight with chic clothing.

“Billionaire represents an extravagant and sumptuous wardrobe for men with a certain maturity, who radiate self-confidence and are not ashamed of their ambitions.”

(Source: billionairecouture.com)

So this description clearly shows what kind of men should be found in the clothing of the fire!

Philipp Plein: As conceited as they always say?

He is known for his many tattoos, his well-trained body and his swanky watch! But is that all he has to offer?

Plein has always been a “dreamer”: he always wanted to aim high and realize his dreams – that was and is his greatest motivation. Many interpret his single-minded attitude as arrogance. Plein explains what you should bear in mind with his “strategy”:

“You always have to be able to dream new dreams. I always try to achieve one dream after another. But I know that dreams are never as beautiful in reality as they are in fantasy. Once you understand that, you can deal with it well.”

(Source: GQ-Magazin.de)

He also sees a lot of potential in his brand. For him, this is just the beginning. Despite this attitude, he – together with his team – is very realistic. They seem to know how much room for improvement there is: and a lot of it, according to Plein himself! He knows exactly when he can launch something on the market – he says it’s always when people aren’t expecting it. He stands for unusual fashion where there is a lot going on! Plein rarely talks about himself alone as a brand. For him, the brand means his team, not a single person:

“Yes, we at Philipp Plein are a team, a young team”

(Source: GQ-Magazin.de)

• Has a specific strategy
• Always wants to make his dreams and goals come true
• Works in a team, not alone

Well thought-out strategy brings him success

So his whole attitude seems to be very well thought out and determined! He builds on his team and dreams until he

can fulfill them. He often throws around arrogant remarks, which he himself takes with humor. He says he wants to take over the world: For him, that means having a store in every city. And he is far from complaining about the presence of his stores:

Collections and stores – major development

Battle for son Romeo Prince: reunion after four years

Philipp Plein spent four years fighting for his little son Romeo Prince, who is now seven years old. The child’s mother (Fernanda Rigon) took him to her home country of Brazil in 2014 to keep him away from his father. Plein fought against her with numerous lawyers – to no avail! He only wanted his son to experience one thing: a mother and father who could look after him and give him a stable family life. After four years, this battle finally seems to be over and he can finally hold his son in his arms again!

Plein in love: this is his girlfriend

Girlfriend Lucia Bartoli is always by his side everywhere he goes: whether in Cannes, Lugano or New York – there are three places he calls home! Ever since he finally introduced her to the public, she has never left his side! In an interview, when asked what she does for a living, Lucia replies that she is a “full-time girlfriend”! I wonder if Plein likes to hear such an answer in an interview with his girlfriend!

Numerous surprises

Plein likes to surprise his sweetheart “here and there”: whether at home or on an airplane – the two of them seem to be on cloud nine everywhere! Despite his tight schedule, he likes to make time for his girlfriend.

“I try to surprise them as often as possible.”

Lucia adores her designer boyfriend and says she misses him when they are apart. In an interview with RTL, the two claim that their “love secret” is that they are stuck together and it’s funny when they are apart – if that’s not an unusual attitude!

The beginning of Heidi’s career

The internationally sought-after German model Heidi Klum originally comes from Bergisch Gladbach. Heidi’s father was initially a production manager in a perfume factory until he founded the model agency “One eins fab” in honor of his daughter’s success. Klum’s mother, on the other hand, was a hairdresser. Heidi graduated from a comprehensive school in her home town in 1992.

• Born: June 1, 1973
• Grew up in: Bergisch Gladbach, Germany
• Height: 1.77 meters
• Shoe size: 41

Model ’92’ was the name of Thomas Gottschalk’s show at the time, in which 25,000 girls had to compete to become a model. Heidi, 18 years old at the time and an aspiring high school graduate, proved her talent and won the competition. Back then, the modeling profession was not as well known as it is today; even Heidi still didn’t know that “being a model” was a real profession at the time.

“When I left school, I didn’t even know that modeling was a job.”

Model business or training?

But modeling was not her only hobby; Heidi was also very interested in fashion at a young age. Now she was faced with a choice: she could either start training as a fashion designer in Düsseldorf or try to build a career as a model. Thanks to her success on Thomas Gottschalk’s TV show, the blonde thought her chances as an aspiring model were excellent. How do you think Heidi decided?

The first jobs in New York: Victorias Secret, Vogue & Co.

Model mom, top model, advertising face, style icon, mother and so much more. We don’t even know where to start with such a huge career, but of course we’ve picked out everything you need to know about the beauty. The top model is the first and so far most successful top model from Germany! Born in Bergisch Gladbach, the model was discovered by Thomas Gottschalk in the casting show Model’92 in 1992. S

hen she was just 19 years old, she won a 300,000 US dollar contract as a model for three years. After graduating from high school, she moved to the United States in 1993.

As you’ve probably already guessed, Heidi decided to give modeling a chance. To actively support her budding career, Klum moved to the United States to New York after graduating from high school, at just 19 years old. Five years later it happened; Heidi landed a job as a Victoria Secret Angel after appearing on the cover of the American magazine Sports Illustrated. As a campaign face for various companies such as Birkenstock, Douglas and even McDonalds, Heidi made a name for herself. Soon everyone knew her and she was a role model for all the young girls out there who also wanted to realize their dream as a model.

Germany’s next Topmodel, DSDS & America’s Got Talent

Germany’s Next Topmodel, DSDS, America’s Got Talent, Project Runway, Making the Cut etc., Heidi Klum is not only seen on catwalks, but also on TV. Since 2006, she has appeared on television every year to choose Germany’s new top model. As you can see, Heidi is not only in demand as an international model, she also devotes a large part of her life to numerous TV shows, her own collections and, of course, her family.

But that’s not all, Heidi has received many awards over the years, such as the Bambi or the Emmy, which put her unique career in the spotlight. Heidi is therefore not only an idol for Germans, but also inspires people all over the world. Because she shows that the dream of being a model is not impossible!

Your casting show “Germany’s next Topmodel”

At 1.76m, Heidi Klum is not one of the tallest models today. For her own casting show “Germany’s next Topmodel”, which is broadcast on ProSieben, the requirements are to be at least 1.76m tall and 16 years old. The 48-year-old has been choosing the most beautiful girl in Germany every year for 13 years. The first girl to win the casting show was Lena Gercke. A season always consists of 15-16 episodes in which the girls have to complete a wide variety of tasks.

From introductions to major clients for jobs to exciting photo shoots, everything is included. The girls have a very exciting time there. Heidi put together a jury of three people every year. Each time it consisted of her and two famous men chosen for the task, such as Thomas Hayo and Michael Michalsky. The upcoming fourteenth season will be a little different. You can find out more about the jury in the fourteenth season and the latest news here:

• GNTM: All seasons

Your private life: Wedding & children

Such a beautiful, successful woman, but no man at her side? Quite the opposite: at the age of 20, Heidi Klum married hairdresser Ric Pipino. After five years, however, the marriage broke down and the two divorced. During a brief relationship with Flavio Briatore, Heidi became pregnant for the first time. She had her first daughter, followed by the divorce and the typical, private little dramas about moving out, moving house and selling the house after the divorce. At the age of 32, Heidi Klum gave married life another chance and married Seal, with whom she had three children, who adopted her first daughter and from whom she took the surname Samuel.

Heidi’s love life

After 7 years of marriage, the two separated. Heidi currently has the German guitarist of the band Tokio Hotel Tom Kaulitz at her side. The pictures on Heidi’s Instagram make it clear: Heidi is currently overjoyed with her love life! For those who already know Heidi Klum, it is particularly interesting to see how she behaved as a 19-year-old on the GNTM casting show compared to how she appears today. It’s very clear to see: She has developed enormously. Back then she was rather shy and very polite, but today she is a real presence with huge self-confidence!

Heidi Klum: Tom Kaulitz, family & children

After four failed relationships, Heidi has finally found the man of her dreams: Tom Kaulitz from Tokio Hotel. They have been married since August 3 last year, but the age difference of 16 years doesn’t bother them much. On Instagram, the two are more in love than ever. Tom and Heidi met at a party thrown by Michael Michalsky, who was a former member of the “GNTM” jury. They both ignore the numerous criticisms of their relationship and prove to the world that true love really does exist.

What does Heidi’s career look like in the future?

A new TV show? Or maybe baby number 5? Heidi has often surprised us with her plans for the future. Whether it’s a new fashion collection in collaboration with major companies or a new book, she is full of surprises. She is one of the most successful supermodels in the world, because: she’s simply got it!

The fascination of camping adventures: costs, equipment & family

The camping trend is enjoying great popularity, and many people cherish the desire for unrestricted freedom. They long for a vacation in the great outdoors that allows them to sleep in the most beautiful places and move on flexibly, depending on their mood. Whether you opt for a caravan, motorhome or tent depends on your personal preferences. According to a study by the ADAC, there are already 15 million enthusiastic campers in Germany. But how do you find your way around this wide range?

Between skepticism & anticipation: camping on vacation

Tino, Yvonne and Samiya Gittel live in North Rhine-Westphalia. Tino has come up with something special for his next vacation: he wants to get his family interested in camping. He thinks camping is very exciting, while his wife Ivonne is skeptical at first. She is worried that she will have to restrict herself too much in terms of space and comfort. However, their nine-year-old daughter is also enthusiastic about the idea. She has already been on a camping vacation with her aunt and had a lot of fun. So her mother is going to try it out for her sake.

This family tests camping: Ivonne, Tino and daughter Samiya.

Camping solution: roof tent, tent trailer & caravan

Sure, this year the decision has been made to go camping. However, there are different types of camping. Should it be a caravan or motorhome, or would you prefer a tent or caravan? The variety of options is considerable. A motorhome or caravan undoubtedly offers a certain level of luxury. But Tino has heard from relatives and friends who are faced with the problem of having to put their vehicle somewhere at the end of the season year after year.

A folding caravan or tent trailer, which is more compact than a caravan, is ruled out as it is too time-consuming for the family to set up. After extensive research on the Internet, the Gittels finally decide on a roof tent. Most rooftop tents on the net only offer a standard sleeping area of 1.40 meters maximum, which is too narrow for three people. Finally, they came across a suitable option – the X-Cover from iKamper, which is large enough to accommodate four people, measuring 2.10 by 1.90 meters.

Here you can quickly compare the considerations of the Gittel family:

The solution to the space problem: a larger roof tent! (Tip: You can find suitable sizes under: Roof tent for 2 people, Roof tent for 3 people, Roof tent for 4 people and Roof tent for 5 people).

Price of roof tents: Search for bargains

In terms of price, roof tents range between 800 and 4,000 euros. The decisive criteria for buying a roof tent are a sleeping area of at least 1.60 meters wide, quick set-up and an affordable price, with a pain threshold of 3,000 euros. The Gittels’ dream roof tent is somewhat expensive at 3,300 euros. However, you can also find second-hand tents on the Internet, which means you can make considerable savings. They browse for new items and bargains. Tino and Yvonne find what they are looking for: their dream tent now costs just 2,500 euros.

Price: 800 – 4,000 euros (used: around 2,500 euros)

Searching for the campsite: preparation & planning

Tino’s next challenge is to find the right campsite, which is no easy task given that there are almost 2,800 campsites in Germany. But which of these campsites is the right one for the family? The selection criteria are many and varied, because it’s not just about the campsite’s facilities. The family is looking for cleanliness and peace and quiet, which is why Tino believes that it is important to find out about the campsites in advance, for example by reading reviews and ratings.

They also want the campsite to have certain facilities, including a playground and a restaurant, to ensure they can cater for themselves on site. A site with at least four stars is preferred, and it should be a reasonably priced alternative to a hotel. In addition, they need to consider what sights they want to see and what activities they want to do. For more comfort, the roof tent is mounted on a trailer.

If you want to go camping with your child, these criteria can also help you find the right campsite:

• Reviews & ratings
• Cleanliness, relaxation & tranquillity
• Amount of the price
• Sights & activities
• Playground & restaurant?

Not just planning a campsite: buying accessories

Before the journey can begin, Tino and Yvonne have to do some shopping, including two sleeping bags, two sleeping mats as well as pots, crockery and cutlery to ensure that they are well supplied during the trip. Of course, a second-hand camping kitchen is also a must in the trailer. Tino is particularly concerned about the provisions, as he appreciates a certain level of comfort.

You need this absolute basic equipment in any case:

• Sleeping bags
• Sleeping mats
• Kitchen
• Pots
• Tableware
• Cutlery

Tip! You can read about what else you should take with you and other important camping tips here: Camping accessories.

Environmental protection & choice of destination: car & travel

A big advantage for Tino and Yvonne are the operating costs, as they use an electric car. This means that they only have to pay around 70 euros in electricity costs for a 500 km journey, compared to almost 100 euros if they were to use an older petrol car. It is also a more environmentally friendly travel option. For a shorter trip, the family opts for the North Sea coast and Cuxhaven as their destination. Friends of theirs are also camping there, and they like it too.

These tips will help you protect the environment and your wallet:

• Electric car: lower operating costs
• Choice of destination: not too far away

Is it worth it? Camping adventures with the family

In conclusion, the question arises as to whether the financial outlay was worth it and whether a camping vacation can be considered a cost-effective alternative to a hotel stay. The Gittel family is satisfied with their camping adventure. Samiya sleeps restfully in the roof tent and all family members can switch off in the fresh North Sea air without an all-inclusive program and time pressure. This vacation has brought the family closer together and they are ready for more camping adventures.

Here is the conclusion of our tester family in a nutshell:

• Satisfied Gittel family
• Restful sleep in the roof tent
• Relax in the fresh North Sea air
• Strengthening family cohesion
• More camping adventures with pleasure

Why many love Denmark as a vacation destination

FIV: What do you think makes Denmark such an attractive destination for vacationers?

Feline: Nature, especially the long coastline and the seas. Denmark is a small country, about 5000 km² smaller than Lower Saxony, but still has 7000 km of coastline, most of which are sandy beaches. You never feel cramped, as there are fewer inhabitants in Denmark (5.8 million) than in Bremen (6.6 million).

There are very different beaches. On the North Sea coast you can find many beautiful beaches, but also a sea that you have to respect especially. On calm, sunny days it is nice to refresh yourself in the water, but if the sea is choppy and the waves are too big, you should not swim. On the other hand, you can enjoy the view from the beach.

Vacation with family, dog & Co.

On the east coast of Jutland and on the islands, the sea is much calmer and therefore particularly suitable for families with small children. There are more than 500 dog parks, and there is usually no leash requirement on the beaches from October to March. There are many opportunities for fishing.

Danes love strawberries with cream; the red berries are sold all over Denmark, often as self-service at farm stores. This is a delicacy that you should definitely try.

Flea markets are almost a kind of national sport in Denmark; they are almost everywhere and you can easily spend a few hours there. Maybe you find something, maybe not, but the search is a lot of fun.

In the larger cities and especially in the market towns there are very “hyggelige” town centers that offer a combination of cultural experiences, shopping and interesting buildings.

The most beautiful regions

FIV: Which regions in Denmark would you recommend for different types of travelers, for example families, nature lovers or culture lovers?

The most beautiful places for … Families & Kids

Feline: Depending on the age of the children: for young children East Jutland and the islands are suitable, because here they have many opportunities for fun in the water. When the children are older, the North Sea coast offers many opportunities and even bigger beaches.

The most beautiful places for … Nature lovers

Feline: The most beautiful is…

If you like to be near the sea, it doesn’t really matter much where you are in Denmark!

Most Germans vacationing in Denmark are on the route from Rømø to Søndervig. Although Ringkøbing Fjord and the Tipperne nature area offer great nature experiences, Denmark has much more to offer. North of the Limfjord, the landscape changes significantly. Sand dunes are much more prominent here, and the old fishing towns are a truly “hyggelig” experience.

Råbjerg Mile, a wandering dune; for children a huge sandbox. At the tip of Jutland two seas meet; a walk (or a tractor ride) is a very special experience. The view at the tip is unique. Often you can see seals in the water and on the beach.

The most beautiful places for … Culture lovers

Feline: Although I was born and raised on Fyn and therefore may be biased, I recommend the combination of Odense (Art Museum, Brandts, HCA Museum and House) and the coastal market towns (Svendborg, Faaborg, Bogense, Middelfart, Nyborg, Assens and Kerteminde) on Langeland (Rudkøbing) and on Ærø (Rudkøbing and Marstal). There are a variety of cultural experiences here. The distances are short, so you can experience a lot in a few days. As a bonus, you cross beautiful and varied landscapes and at the end, with the exception of Odense, you are always by the sea.

Vacation homes in Denmark

FIV: What advantages do you see in booking a vacation home in Denmark compared to other types of accommodation?

Feline: The freedom and large space, private terrace, barbecue facilities (hot dogs, another Danish specialty). Often there is a fenced property, which means that dogs can run free and children can play in the garden without worrying. There are no parking problems, as there is always room for several cars. The possibility of vacationing with grandparents or friends under one roof.

FIV: What tips do you have for first-time travelers looking to book a vacation home in Denmark?

Feline: Of course, the time of year plays a big role – but in general I recommend that you think about your requirements and wishes in advance. How many people are there, do you need a fenced property or not, or would you rather have a pool and sauna? From my own experience I can also say that if teenage girls are with you, you can never have too many bathrooms.

The most beautiful times of the year

FIV: Are there certain times of the year that you think are particularly recommended to visit Denmark?

Feline: Most Germans visit Denmark in the summer. This season is really beautiful in Denmark. The temperatures are very pleasant and are often between 20-25 degrees. When it gets warmer, the coasts are always easy to reach. As in Germany, the weather is unpredictable, but if it rains, you can easily find activities or sights indoors. The bright nights in summer are especially beautiful.

Spring, autumn and winter: Each season has its own charm!

Nature is changing and there are always great experiences to discover (cycling, hiking). You can actually say that the motto of the year is “Time for each other”.

FIV: What local activities or attractions near cottage locations in Denmark do you think travelers shouldn’t miss?

Feline: Of course, it depends on the location, but in general: beaches, hiking trails, bike paths, activities with dogs, local market towns, animal parks, museums and much more. Since the distances in Denmark are very short, as already mentioned, there are many possibilities to find the right offer.

Denmark past and present

FIV: What trends or changes in tourism to Denmark have you observed in recent years?

Feline: Many Danes rediscovered their own country during the pandemic and continue to vacation here. Another big change is the liberalization of cancellation terms; this is also a consequence of the pandemic. Today there are really short cancellation periods, often up to 45 days before arrival. In recent years we have also seen climatic events, such as the extremely high temperatures in southern Europe this year. When it is over 40-45 degrees Celsius and the sun is shining all day, it becomes too hot for some guests. I believe that in the future more guests will therefore choose more northern destinations, including Denmark.

Now another insider tip!

FIV: Do you have any personal insider tips or recommendations for travelers to make their Denmark experience even more special?

Feline: When I was a kid, my parents always vacationed in North Jutland, so it became a tradition. If I’m not there at least once a year, I feel like it wasn’t a “real vacation”. Later, I passed on my love for this part of Denmark to my daughters, and we often vacationed there together with my parents. It’s really great.

I started with Funen and I want to end with Funen. My insider tip for those who love the sea and the coast is that Fyn is the focus of Denmark for porpoises. There really is a large amount of them that you can watch from the coast; a great nature experience.

If you like fishing, the waters around Fyn offer really good opportunities, among other things, to catch sea trout.

Thank you very much!

We hope that you are as excited about the treasures of Denmark as we are. The enchanting nature, the rich culture and the warm people are waiting to be discovered by you. We wish you unforgettable adventures in Denmark! Thanks to our Denmark Local Expert Jørgen Laustsen from Feline!

Camping for beginners

If you’re embarking on your first camping adventure, a few basic tips can make the difference between an enjoyable experience and a challenge. Here’s some advice that can help you as a camping beginner.

Preparation & trial and error: Practice makes perfect

It’s best to practice pitching your tent before you go on a trip. This will help you avoid frustration and uncertainty when you arrive at the campsite. It also doesn’t hurt to take a look at your rooftop tent’s instruction manual or watch a tutorial beforehand. Additionally, if you’re unsure about what it’s like to sleep in the tent, do a trial overnight in the backyard. This will help you get used to the environment and make sure you have everything you need.

Planning & packing: prepare camping adventure

Think sleeping bag, sleeping pad, weatherproof clothing and food. Above all, pay attention to organization and order.

Cooking in the open air: Equipment & rain protection

Just before the trip, you should also think about what you want to eat. As a camper, you usually eat in nature. Therefore, plan simple meals that are easy to prepare. Avoid perishables and make sure you have all the necessary utensils for cooking, such as a camping stove. Additionally, check the weather forecast before you leave and be prepared for different weather conditions. Rain gear and warm clothing can make all the difference to a successful vacation.

Enjoy adventure: relaxation & joy in nature

Once you arrive at the campsite, you can of course apply what you have practiced before in your garden. On site, also make sure that you don’t leave any trash and that you follow the rules of the campsite. Respect the wildlife and avoid unnecessary noise.
