1. Pitch a Tent

Time to get back to nature and enjoy the simpler things in life. Unroll your sleeping bag in peaceful settings away from it all, or in a full-serviced campground, then unzip your front door and you have everything you need. Go for a rugged or gentle adventure – hiking, biking, beaches and pretty scenery along the way.
