A Nomadic Minimalist

I have to admit, I'm strangely attracted to the nomadic minimalist lifestyle. The idea of travelling the world with only a minimal amount of stuff... not being tied down by a house or a car or "stuff".... very appealing in a suprising kind of way.

I came across Raam Dev who left it all and travelled around southeast Asia for 6 months with only a backpack... a backpack of stuff... amazing. His life transformed, and as he says, he become spontaneous and fearless.

There's lots of stuff out there on minimalism... Dave Bruno wrote a book that challenged people to get their possessions down to 100 things (yep, 100). He's written a blog on minimalism as well. There's great advice on how to live with less. Lots of stuff out there... to encourage us to have less stuff!
