    Living in England, I'm an outdoors person when it's warmer outside. Right now it's freezing and I want to keep myself warm and cosy indoors. I had an allergy test done a few years ago and found out I had a grass allergy. Despite that I have grown really fond of going out into the woods and being one with nature. I have never had the chance to experience camping, I would be interested in giving it a shot somewhere picturesque, with my partner in the summer.

    Being a city dweller I crave the 'real' outdoors, far away from city skylines and busy high-street shopping centers. There is something very calming about seeing nothing but trees, land and sky for me.

    I love to stay at home 97.8% of the times (yeah! I calculated that:p), doing nothing but sticking to the internet. I just can't stay away from my laptop and phone. It's so much fun to learn something new every moment, I am addicted to the technology.

    I know, it might not be something that falls under the 'healthy habits' category. So, I make it a point to practice yoga regularly. Yes, don't forget about the 2.2% of time that I spend outside.

    I'm an indoors person cause I usually spend the rest of my time on the internet. I only go outside when I'm forced to or when I feel like to, The most perfect time for me to go indoors is on a windy day so I can get my thick blanket and watch some Netflix. When I'm feeling sick I would just normally sleep the rest of the day and if I don't feel like sleeping I listen to some songs with my headset.

    I am more of an outdoors, that an indoors person. I love to fell the fresh air around, see the wonderful beauty of the foliage around. Outdoors there is is always something interesting to catch my attention, opposed to being indoors where I easily become lethargic and be bored.

    Currently I'm an indoor person because alot of my work is indoors, but I love camping and trailing in parks. Being outdoors is one of the reasons I became an Infantry soldier in the U.S. military. Although I'm currently retired, I still can't get enough of doing some kind of activities outdoors.

    I am in the middle, I like fishing and hunting. Those two things is that keeps me sometimes outdoor. But also I like a lot to lay down and sit to my laptop, while googling and watching for all kind of things on internet. I make websites in free time, that takes a very big part of my free time.

    I consider myself to be an outdoors person but if I'm busy or have to do some tasks inside I may not get outside until I finish that task. It doesn't matter how long it takes.

    It really depends on the weather outside. I coud be both actually. When it's snowing, I love to watch the snowflakes from my window. When it's raining I can go out and just be a part with the rain. The summer is a time when to be outside is the preffer choice. Love Sun and the sea in Varna, Bulgaria.

    It varies for me. If the weather is nice, then I usually take walks outside. Most of the time, however, I stay indoors and go on YouTube to watch TV shows and listen to music. I am constantly glued to my laptop and can't get away from it.

    I am most definitely a outdoor person. When I am outside I feel so empowered and it picks me up if I am ever having a bad day. It recharges my tank I guess you could say. If it is raining I like to be inside and watch movies and cuddle in a blanket but if it's pretty outside I want to he outside!

    I am definately an outdoorsy type of person. I feel a certain spiritual calm when I am in nature and away from the ruins of mankind. I love camping and hiking. Horseback riding is my favorite pastime. I could be perfectly happy living in a run down farmhouse, miles away from my nearest neighbor with nothing but the sounds of nature around me!

    If it is wintertime you will find me inside, snuggled up nice and warm watching my favourite movie (Labyrinth). Come summertime watch out, there is no way I will be indoors. You will find me outdoors making the most of the glorious weather, at the beach with family and friends or swimming and having picnics.

    Roll on summertime I cant wait.

    For me, it depends on the weather and my mood. When the weather is sunny and warm, I like being outdoors more. I like to go to the park for a walk and run. However, if the weather is rainy, snowy, or just plain gloomy, I would rather be indoors. Sometimes, I will go outdoors if it's sunny and cold, but not for long. I just like to get outside for fresh air.

    I prefer the indoors - I am a bit of an introvert. I like being in the comfort of my house, it feels safe and comfortable. At home, I can do everything I love in privacy, such as reading stories, surfing the internet, talking to my friends, drawing, and playing games.

    However, when it is necessary to go outdoors, I enjoy looking at nature - sometimes I don't even want to go home! Nature is so beautiful, I feel it's something we take for granted. Whenever I'm upset, sometimes I like to go for a walk outdoors, it is really calming.

    I think I'm pretty balanced between being an indoors and outdoors person. I love to read and watch television and movies, but I can't do that for too long without craving sunshine and fresh air. I enjoy nature walks and spending time at the beach or a lake, but I don't have to spend all day there. I think it's good to split my time between the two, but I tend to spend more time indoors, since that's where I usually work, plus on top of that, there is cooking and household chores to be done

    I like being indoors more than outdoors and go out only when I have to like shopping or going to the library. I'm more of an indoorsy type of person, though when I'm outside I love to watch the wild...is saw a swan once in the Kapalama Stream so white and resting before it went on to it's destination. I see owls too right in the trees resting before she flies to the more remote part of Oahu. Riding the bus I get to see much of Oahu's wildlife and enjoy it immensely! I love the comforts of home and can't wait to get home. I'm indoorsy, definitely too.

    I'm a total outdoors person, but I love indoors too.

    I'm going on a big camping trip tomorrow for the week and I'll be back this Saturday!!! I can't wait!! I love nature and the vast adventures out there. We're gonna go canoeing, hiking, have campfires, sing fun songs, fishing and so much more!!
    Camping is my second home. I can not wait for Girl's Camp every year. I always, without fail, become immersed in nature and become enlightened. Most girls will complain that they hate camping, but I can gladly say that I LOVE camping. I even love the not-so-great things about camping like bugs, dirt, and sunburns. It all reminds me of how outstanding nature is. It is so infinite. I love the smell of campfire, and the feeling of going on long hikes through the trees. I want to explore in forests and come out refreshed. Camping never ceases to amaze me.

    Unquestionably, outdoors. I once lived in a tent for several months on a friend's property way up in some mountains. I felt a deep craving to be away from "civilization". My friend had a lot of property. I've camped out in several different national forests far away from traditional camp sites; even right in the middle of major cougar territory. The cougars never scared me. Neither did the bears that would sometimes ramble within just a few feet of me. I'm not afraid of snakes, either. Really, nothing in nature scares me. There's a palpable peacefulness deep in the woods and away from civilization. Really, I've literally felt that peacefulness cause a shift in my body and mind at times. I love outdoor sports too. Sailing, rock climbing, fishing, hiking, any outdoors activity. I've literally hiked 100s of miles. I also like leaving my windows open even in the winter time. I like them cracked a bit while I sleep.

    I do enjoy the indoors too, though. My two favorite places to be in my home are either the kitchen or my bedroom. I love to sleep and I love to cook. And, although it's supposed to be a horrible, horrible thing, I love TV.

    Although I know it's a good safety measure, I hate that the reach of technology can now go deep into a forest. Do any other outdoorsmen hate that too? It seems counter to the whole purpose of escaping civilization to be able to have cell phone service or tablet access deep in the forest.

    When it is cold outside I am definitely an indoor person. But when the weather breaks and the birds start chirping and the sun starts shining I am always outside. I love being outdoors enjoying nature and enjoying all of Gods beauty.

    So if I had to choose which one I actually am, I would have to say I am more of an outdoor person. There is just something about the fresh air and sunshine that makes me feel better.

    For me, it truly depends on the seasons. All spring, summer, and fall I am an outdoors kind of girl. I can't stand being stuck inside. I need to be out in the world, in nature. Being stuck inside on a beautiful day is like a prison sentence to me. I need to see the beauty of the world, smell the grass and the trees, feel the warmth of the sun. I get this desperate need to feel the earth under my feet and the breeze on my face. I absolutely love nature and the beauty that it holds.

    I would never be able to live in a big city. I can't handle being surrounded by too many people at once. I start feeling anxious and stressed. I don't like being stuck in a crowded store or any crowded place for that matter. I love the freedom and space of the country.

    However, once winter hits, I am an indoor kind of person. I hate the cold and the death that winter brings. It takes all the beauty away and leaves it bare. I can't stand being cold either, so during the winter months, you'll always be able to find me in my house watching television or reading a good book or of course, writing online.
