I lived in France for over 20 years and before I repatriated I had to sell everything or pay for it to be shipped and stored. Over the years I had amassed loads of stuff, most of which was dead weight. It was super hard at first to choose what to let go but it got easier and in no time I relished the idea of a small footprint. I now live a minimalistic life on a small boat. I LOVE IT! I am enjoying your journey. Good luck to you both x

Iv come across so many people who talk about it but what they do and what they talk about are 2 entirely different things. Re some ppl who talk about it r property developers!!!!!!!! You apply minimalism and you both work ethically. I love how niche your market is. Re travel and veganism. You both work really hard without the need to spend materialistically and your work is about vegan businesses and minimalism. You apply both. I knew a meat eater who owned a vegan grocery store!!!!! Love your channel soooooo much as you are both so genuine. Oh and also really entertaining. 😀 Sending LOVE ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hi Guys, I left the UK in 2009 for Kazakhstan (later China and Thailand) with 25lbs of stuff. Mostly clothes, a couple of books and 1 photo of my son. I left everything else with family in 2 locations. I returned to the UK 7 years later on a short holiday and of course I didn't need any of it! I hadn't missed it at all. It's best to get rid before you go! You can live a simple life with very few things. Do you really need all those shoes? I've had only 1 or 2 pair in the last decade. Go guys Go!

I've just stubbled across your channel and I was firstly surprised that you're vegan and now note that you're from East Sussex- I'm wondering which caravan park this is if you can divulge? I'm thinking about moving up to Glasgow for some affordable housing but have also been considering a caravan to stay closer to home. Would love to be nearer Brighton than I currently am as well.

I've been trying to declutter my space lately, so totally understand how tough it can be. I cleared out all my old toys from when I was a kid, that was tough but memories and future adventures are always better than stuff. I did keep a couple of sentimental ones though😊😊. Well done you two, onwards and upwards to your next big adventure 😀😀, can't wait to see where you end up next😊
