new home number 12

gypsy caravan/freedom wagon

the best thing about new home number 12 is... it's on wheels. never in the same place twice, it has the double advantage of transporting me to new unexplored parts of the south island and also affording me my own private place to sleep - affordably. i'm getting remarkably good at transforming it from fuel efficient little toyota wagon to cozy little nest; complete with a bed, curtains and mosquito netting for the windows so i can sleep with them open. i sort of love it.
the kiwis have a name for what i'm doing, (what i'm doing being eschewing campgrounds and rest stops in favor of little nooks by beaches and rivers, off of country roads, under old one lane bridges, etc.) they call it freedom camping. i sort of love that name. freedom! camping! some of my favorite things. it's so inoffensive...

but really if it looks like a gypsy and acts like a gypsy and smells like a gypsy.....
