Early last year I made the conscious decision to reduce the amount of stuff that I own, because as they say 'tidy house, tidy mind'. At first it was quite difficult to let go of material belongings as they often had sentimental value or were too shiny and cool (I like gadgets) but after a while it became almost therapeutic. I found that there is some truth to the old saying after all and that the more I reduced, the easier things became, everything had it's place and I knew where everything was... Suddenly I was more focused and was able to streamline my work processes. Whilst I appreciate that this lifestyle isn't for everyone, it is a liberating feeling to know that you can quite literally pack your entire life into a backpack and go wherever the mood takes you. I'm looking forward to some incredible adventures this year :)
Roughly 11 kg at the moment so I'm still reducing.
