Do you love the idea of spending a few days in the great outdoors, but the thought of sleeping in an uncomfortable tent, not having access to a shower or running water, dealing with bugs spiders, and having to haul your own supplies to your camp site makes you feel uneasy and disinterested?
If so, glamping might be right up your alley. What is glamping? The word glamping is a combination of the words glamorous and camping. It’s a trend that is growing in popularity around the world.
