Plethora of Minimalism

Let’s face it, most of us here practice or want to practice a type of travel minimalism—taking only what we really need.

And a smaller group, including me, are trying to incorporate those prinicples into our everyday lives. I recently got rid of anything I don’t really need or haven’t used in a long time. Most was donated to charity, some was sold, some recycled and, thankfully, very little is going to wind up in a landfill.

Minimalism, it seems, is becoming trendy (Which is weird for me since I usually go in the opposite direction of trends.) Blogs on the subject are growing quickly.

But I noticed something similar about all those blogs. Not necessarily about the idea, but about the bloggers.

Then I saw this video. And it summed it all up.

Minimalism Part I

For the record, I’ve watched it a few times and still laugh. Enjoy.

Oh…and has what you learned traveling light affected any other portions of your life?
