Jack: You know we are only stopping at the Trucker's Stop?
Me: Meow
Doesn't matter where we stop, I dress like a cat...my nom de voyage is Camping Kitty! ⛺😻
*nom de voyage - A pseudonym used while travelling
I was in the hospital when she came to me. Lying in my sterilized bed and dressed in my hideous hospital gown, I longed to be sleeping under the stars or racing on an empty road or curled up beside a campfire. It all seemed so out of reach. That’s when I grabbed some markers and drew the logo for Camping Kitty.
It was a way to myself out of a terrible situation. She found adventure wherever she wandered and could rough it with the best of them, but always maintained a sense of style. She was free, roaming the world like a bohemian babe in hiking boots.
Several years after I drew that little green tent with a “CK” kitty face, I want to tell her that woman in the hospital that she made it. I am living my wanderlusty dreams of living simply in my tiny-house-on-wheels.
