　　In the past, we went to quite a few places in America. We saw forests and mountains together and they were fantastic. This year, we spent three months staying on the beach in Canada. Some people were surprised to find that I was traveling with a cat. Once a woman even shouted, "Excuse me, there is a cat trying to get into your van!"
　　I know. The van, a small house on wheels, is our home. I built it by myself with a bed, a kitchen and enough places for a small cat to live in. | drove my van to many places. It might be small, but the whole country is our backyard.
　　Cindy enjoys finding out places she has never visited, but she doesn't like to go too far from our van. She loves to sit in the van and enjoy the great view through the window. I post our photos on the Internet and millions of people around the world like our trip.
　　We are lucky to have each other. I will never forget about the trip we had together. If Cindy taught me something, it is that you don't need a lot to be happy. A bit of food, a shelter, and a lot of love.
