Tentsile Blog

As the summer season kicked into gear, and as more and more campers all around the world heard about Tentsile for the first time, it happened; orders came in, tents sold out, waiting lists went up...

Colina and I (Amelie-Rose) have been close friends since we were about 8 years old. We are both from France originally, and currently live on the Isle of Wight. We share the same passion, which is to travel.

From an early age we have also both wanted to support various humanitarian associations, and we thought it would be a fantastic idea to combine our travels with fundraising, partnering with a non-profit to raise money for them on our way. For our first trip we have decided to support the outstanding work of Action Against Hunger. We are about to embark on a 1,200 km adventure to circle the Pacific island of New Caledonia by whatever means available to us. This two-month journey will see us cross different landscapes and terrains, hugging the coast and climbing hills, through forests and across beaches – no doubt encountering many challenges on the way! Let us tell you more about the motivation behind it.

As a start-up company, a range of adventure sports are used to entice small groups across part of the island. The pinnacle of this pilot week was perhaps the night spent stargazing to the sound of crashing waves – together with the feathered inhabitants of the cave. A real natural treat.
