Bernd (59) from Hamburg traveled to the set of ‘First Dates’ in his camper van, hoping to find a partner who shares his passion for camping. During the date with Andrea (39), he recounted stopping on the Rhine and ‘drinking everyone under the table’ at the campsite. Despite both owning a caravan and Andrea being open to touring Europe in retirement, they declined a second date due to differing music tastes: Bernd is a metal fan, while Andrea prefers pop and ‘chic’ outings.
