Gal Gone Camping Explores Life On The Road
Hello Friends!
Do you ever think to yourself "There has got to be a better way?" Do you ever wonder what it would be like to do more of what you want to and less of what you have to? Have you ever thought about an alternative lifestyle?
Let me introduce you to Gal Gone Camping! My name is Catrina Vargo, and I am just a part-time gypsy for now; exploring the possibility of a full-time nomadic life when my current responsibilities are done.

Part-time Gypsy…for now!
Through this blog, I will share with you what I have learned about how to:
- ✦ Travel Inexpensively
- ✦ Live Simply
- ✦ Live & Work on the Road
- ✦ Camp Comfortably
- ✦ & Much More!
Is This Blog For You?
This blog is for like-minded adventurous people who are interested in a mobile lifestyle — thrifty, budget conscious, seeking simplicity, or interested in mobile living and working.

There's nothing more freeing than an open road

There's nothing more soothing than a campfire!
"Find Your Adventure, Simplify Your Life, Live Your Dream!"

SIMPLICITY is the key!
Although the primary focus of this blog is camping/RVing/vanning and living on the road, the basic idea is to simplify your life. When I need to escape, that's what I do. You are a free spirit!
This site is a place to connect with fellow campers, RVers, van lifers, adventurers, travelers, entrepreneurs, creative gurus, nomads, and general gypsies — a place to share ideas, tips, and resources.

Whether you are living this lifestyle full-time, part-time, on weekends, or still in the dreaming and planning stage, you are welcome here.

Gals AND Guys Welcome!
This site is for men and women. I'm all about Girl Power and certainly encourage women to step outside of their comfort zone, however, I want to speak to EVERYONE with these interests. I hope you find Gal Gone Camping interesting, fun, informative, and useful.

"Simplify your life. Don't waste the years struggling for things that are unimportant. Don't burden yourself with possessions. Keep your needs and wants simple and enjoy what you have. Don't destroy your peace of mind by looking back, worrying about the past. Live in the present. Simplify!"
— Henry David Thoreau
