My Minimalist Life: 2 Bags
My Minimalist Life in 2 Bags
What you see on the bed in the picture above is all I own (minus the super cute poodle). No, I’m not joking. All of my life’s possessions that I use every day (and even some comfort things) are contained in those 2 bags.
- Backpacker’s Backpack (15Kg)
- Backpack (11Kg)
I know what you’re thinking. That’s not a lot of stuff! But… compared to 3 years ago when I started freelancing and traveling the world, it is super streamlined and light. I went from 3 bags → 2 bags.
Want to know how I did it? Well… Slowly.
How I Got My Life Into 2 Bags (A Slow Process)
When I first started traveling and freelancing, I had 3 bags:
- Large Full Rolling Suitcase (20 Kg)
- Backpacker’s Backpack (15 Kg)
- Backpack (7 Kg) <- I had a lighter laptop than now
Most people would be aghast at getting their life into 3 bags, but I was extremely happy to do so at the beginning. I was tired of things bringing me down and causing me stress, so I decided to pack up and move to SE Asia as lightly as I could do so.
