I have a pet parrot named Tasha. I am a personal trainer. I lead hikes. I am not good with computers. I am a vegetarian. I like going on camping trips. I like visiting hiking trails. I have never been on a cruise. I want to go on a cruise. I like camping in the woods. I plan on camping this summer. I want to go on a cruise next year. I enjoy seeing wild animals in the woods, to see them in their natural habitat. I am usually not scared of wild animals. I am scared a bit of bears. I like to go on hikes when I go camping. I tend to lead the hikes I go on. I usually hike for an hour or two. I go camping a lot. I am planning on hiking a portion of the Appalachian Trail for ten days. I only usually go one shorter hikes. I am in good physical shape.
I do not like animals. I do not have pets. I started a new job as a computer programmer. I do not like the outdoors. I love going on cruises. I have been to Cuba. I love ice cream. I enjoy going to new places that are warm. I have not camped in a while. I love being outdoors. I am scared of bugs and insects. I don't like being in the mud or in rain. I don't enjoy being outside in the elements. I don't like mosquitos. I do everything I can to avoid mosquitos. I waffle between liking and disliking camping and hiking. I hate bugs.
I loaded up on repellent like you said and I also grabbed a few of those mosquito repellent bracelets, I figured why not! Have you been hiking lately? Yes I did actually. I lead some friends on a hike in a local trail last weekend. They got tired really quickly as they never go hiking they told me. Sounds like me. I am not a fan of the outdoors. Did your friends manage to have a good time anyway? Oh they did. We had some nice snacks along the way. Oddly enough, we had some trail mix that someone had made at home. It was quite tasty. We also had some juice and water packed to make sure everyone stayed hydrated. You should join us one day! I'll make it as fun as possible. I will someday. just not in the summer when all the bugs are out! Where do you go hiking the most? I like to go hiking in the local trails here. I am familiar with them and there's so many routes that I can take. Sadly, the bugs are as bad here as they are anywhere else..... They can't be that bad in the fall right? I hope? Do you camp most every weekend? A least a couple of times a month. Sometimes, yeah, I go every weekend to relax. Being in nature is so relaxing to me. And nah the bugs aren't too bad in the fall and winter. There's a beautiful river along one trail that I bet you'd love to see.  That sounds like it would be relaxing. I would probable be okay if we didn't run into any wolves, bears etc. Have you ever came across any predators when you were camping? Oh I've seen bears and even a mountain lion. Luckily, it was a far away encounter and they didn't know that we were there. As soon as I saw them we changed directions fairly quickly but quietly. Don't worry, I've only seen it a handful of times in my time camping. That's a positive sign. You are helping take some of my fears away. I think I would like to try a short hike this summer. How is Tasha doing?
