I guess you could say that I’m not the type of person who easily enjoys roughing it.
If it’s at all possible I would prefer to be sitting around in the comfort of my own property all morning with all of the current amenities that I have so carefully earned over the years.
When people ask if I’m interested in going camping or staying in a rudimentary cabin, I basically laugh in their face. Why would I ever want to give up my high quality indoor lifestyle to go fend off bugs and the battle Mother Nature? No thank you. This is why I was particularly surprised that I easily had a fantastic time with my partner last weekend when my friend and I arrived at an airbnb and found out that there was no indoor heating or cooling. When my friend and I were looking online for our holiday rental my friend and I both had a lot of amenities in mind for the temporary residence. Never once did I think that heating, cooling, and air quality control was something that my friend and I needed to specify! On the morning that my friend and I arrived at the rental, I was shocked by the indoor air temperature as my friend and I walked into the rental house. As my friend and I started looking around it became evident that there was no central heating system to reduce the chill. The only thing my friend and I could find was a basic wood burning fireplace in the dining room and a few space heaters. This is when I began panicking that there would be no heat. I’m surprised to tell you, this lack of current heating component easily worked out kind of nicely. I’ve never had such a romantic getaway, partially because of the forced cuddling for warmth.
