On my journey through minimalism and having enough, I’ve examined what items bring me the best value for money and what adds to my life. This process has been changed and refined over time and is deeply personal to each and every one of us. I’ve recently been thinking about how my purchases have changed…

This past week, I finished one of the most stressful books that I have ever read. Why we sleep by Matthew Walker. This non-fiction book goes through the biological basis of why we sleep taking us through from baby to adulthood. It delves into what a lack of sleep can do to your body and…

Whilst slowly (very slowly) trying to make better swaps for the existing items that I’m using, I wanted to summarise where I’m currently at and what I’ve been really liking and what hasn’t worked. I feel that there is overwhelming pressure to like environmentally friendly products and this guilt for not using or buying these…

Dreaming has been difficult in the past year. One dream I’ve always had for the past decade was to travel. I wanted to see the world. I wanted to be walking through the highest peaks and lowest troughs of the world. I wanted to see all the animals and wonders of the world that I’d…

There’ something about the thrill of a personal challenge.…

I have to admit, I never really understood the notion that people travel to find themselves. Finding themselves like they had lost parts that could be found. I know myself I stubbornly thought. But the more thought about it, the more I started to change my mind on this. Maybe we don’t consciously make a…

When I started looking into minimalism about 7 years ago, I thought it was about owning 1 pair of jeans, 2 pairs of shoes and getting rid of all the clothes that you haven’t worn in the past 12 months. I studied capsule wardrobes and looked into mine with confusion on how I could make…

Travel is not all about seeing new places, eating interesting foods and meeting new people. As with all the good things in life, it also comes with the bad things in life. Stomach bugs. I had previously written about how I discovered seasickness on my travels and the time I got eaten alive by mosquitoes…

It’s that time of the year again. The Eurovision Song Contest. Eurovision was started in 1956 to unite a war-torn Europe. European countries select their representative usually through a country wide search. The singer/band then gets the chance to perform in the semi-finals and some of the big funders of Eurovision automatically qualify straight into…
