Dear Pedro
I am glad to hear from you. Of course, I can give you some advice.
To begin
with, I have known you for a long time, so I am sure that you will like camping so much. Camping is just something that suits your personality and type of life. To be honest, I am shocked that you haven't had such
an experience. It is truly unbelievable!
Secondly
, there may be some inconveniences such
as no shower, a bunch of insects and lightning a fire. In addition
, it is necessary to take someone with you, especially someone who knows more than you. Because you can face some unexpected problems. I am not a professional in it but I know at least something. You should take a lighter, spray for insects and warm clothes in case it is cold at night.
To sum up
, I would like to go camping with you. If you enjoy it, just let me know and we can organise a trip with my friends or even my parents.
I hope my advice was useful. I wish you the best holidays ever and I look forward to your reply
