About 8 months ago, I was feeling overwhelmed. I had no idea why. I had been back to France for 8 months and all I wanted was to go back to New Zealand, where I spent ten months between November 2016 and August 2017.
I also had another dream: Celine Dion in Vegas. I had been a fan for the last 10 years (at least!). I opened my Google browser, and ten minutes later, I had booked my tickets for the 31st of December.
I mean, Vegas, for New Years Eve? My dream was coming true!
I texted Judith (remember her? She was the woman I stayed with in New Zealand, if you are new around here and don't know me) on Whatsapp, saying I had two tickets for Céline! She immediately said hell yeah!
After months of planning, everything was set: landing in LAX on the 15th of December and leaving on the 4th of January. 3 weeks of true happiness, meeting after almost 2 years apart!
I knew I had to travel light. Last time was just a nightmare, 20 kg reparted in my two bags. They where so bloody heavy, they were weighting me down! Immediately, I googled "how to travel light?"
And there it was. Minimalism. I had no idea what it meant. Let's have a look, where are you Google?
Lots of definitions, one caught my eyes straight away: less is more.
During months, I watched thousands of videos on the subject, and read articles, learning as much as I could.
As I learned about minimalism, I started decluterring my life of the excess and getting rid of everything I didn't need.
My goal was: traveling carry on only. 7kg allowed. That's it.
What will you find on this blog? My journey to minimalism, my travels, my backpack, everything real.
