The Girly Girl's Guide to Camping: People


Camping People are the greatest! Some of my favourite interactions ever have been when camping! My number 1 was this: In France for the Tour De France, and one morning we were practising our yells for all nationalities: ALEZ! for Tommy Voeckler, ARRIBA for Mecardo, and GOOO ONNNN for Cavendish…we paused a while in thought regarding a non-racially sensitive way to yell for an Irish cyclist, The Young Roche I think, when a 7 year old French boy nearby perked up with a perfect “Top o’ the Morning to ya”
It KILLED me. It was one of the most perfect things to ever happen.
Camping people are the best. We’re respectful, helpful and chatty. Make sure you know a few basic words and phrases of where you are going, and people will be so impressed you tried! Know your pleases and thank yours, hellos and goodbyes, and you’re set!
