Backpacking Kitty

Hey, Neatoramanauts I’m back from my little hiatus with my family and I’ve got a fascinating video about a little cat named “Kitty” and its owners Laetitia and Guillaume backpacking from Miami to Argentina.

Thankfully, Google has a French to English translating option (the translation is a little rough, though) so using that I’ll give you the low down on this neat adventure:

1 euro each, 15 000km, 13 countries, 3 years running. Some are willing to kill people for a paper called money.

In a world of economic crisis where money becomes obsessive and when life is hard without money, this young couple from discovering the concept of money through meetings, poor, rich, middle class, everyone tells them how they live or survive.

Still believe in the phrase “money does not buy happiness, it is through their journey that no man will discover, learn, suffer and seek answers to their questions.

He will share the adventure at breast height with both cameras and their companion Kitty, a kitten appeared two months on the road in Louisiana. Sacred destiny for a cat!

More than a walk, a look at a changing society.

    Bad news.
    Laeticia stopped walking and went back home to France.
    Kitty and Guillaume are still going on with 8000kms to go.
    They’re in desperate need of money though.

    Why would someone send money just so he can hike?

    That’s pretty stupid.
