The Long-Term Personal Impact of Minimalism
Global travel with nothing but a bum bag - Video 5/ The personal effects of travelling without luggage. In this episode, I reflect on how minimalism has had a lasting influence on my life. I explore some of the positive and negative implications from living out of a tiny bag. Throughout my travels, I've learnt that the best way to face any pre-trip concerns is simply to begin. We sometimes pay too much attention to all the minor details which add up and can make us lose sight of our primary objectives. By choosing minimalist travel, we are placing all our focus on just the important things that we really need ...but can minimalism become a distraction in itself?

Bum Bag Travel for Women
Global travel with nothing but a bum bag - Video 6/ Ultralight packing differences for men & women. This episode is for those who wish to travel ultralight but still feel unable to do so. I specifically look into the few essentials that women might need, beyond the basics I carry in my bum bag. Acknowledging prevalent gender distinctions, the video suggests some minimalist packing tips for those that might depend on more. My intention is to show how travel without luggage can still be accessible for all. For this episode, I have a little help from my girlfriend, Talise. I tried to make her think differently and I hope it can encourage you to think a little differently too. I wanted Talise to consider preparing to leave for a no-luggage adventure. I asked her to share the minimum she could leave with, beyond the items I carry. These are her key minimalist essentials, the crucial extra items she couldn’t go without.

Steps to Becoming a Minimalist Traveller
Global travel with nothing but a bum bag - Video 7/ The barriers before travelling without a backpack. When undertaking a minimalist transformation there are personal, physical and mental challenges to confront before leaving with almost no luggage. For this episode, I wanted to consider how others could start to approach a no-baggage trip. I looked at my girlfriends perspective to packing and asked her whether she could leave with less. I was curious if she could ever imagine taking a no-luggage trip and if so, what would be her notable barriers to overcome. Can I convince my girlfriend to travel without luggage? Talise knows too well not to pack too much, she knows how to carry almost nothing, however, she still chooses a lot to pack. This video shares more of her packing story, which involves some heavy struggles along the way. Minimising my baggage, transformed the way I experience the world. I love ultralight adventures, but traveling with one small bag whilst in a relationship uncovers a striking polarity. Travel is personal, therefor only you can decide how much is necessary. By sharing my thinking behind why I travel the way I do, I hope this series helps those wanting to take their next step in ultralight travel. The main obstacle to travelling light can be helping carry other peoples bags.
