A part of the reason I’m on this journey now is a little 2 week trip I took in my tent trailer back in 2013. A friend and I decided to hit 10 SouthWest National Parks throughout California, Arizona, Utah, and Nevada. It was a mad tour, but it was lot of fun and it really triggered my love of the open road and taking pictures of the beautiful landscapes. It also made me realize I could actually doing my computer consulting while traveling.
A book I read in 2010 also pushed me towards where I am today. The Four Hour Work Week by Tim Ferris is that book. It made me realize that I was already doing a lot of the things he suggests in his book. I was working from home. I haven’t been in an office, perse, since 1998, which obviously provides one with a lot of freedom and flexibility. The only problem with this was I wasn’t really taking advantage of this freedom and flexibility, but just sitting in my home office, enjoying working in my underwear. What I could be doing, which I realized from this trip, was traveling all over the US and enjoying new places and experiences while I worked.
So after I completed the journey above, I started thinking a lot about what I needed to do to actually start traveling while I worked. I had a couple of set backs and it took me until 2015 until I actually took action on it, but I eventually did get in my tent trailer and I started traveling around the US. And then around the globe.
Here are some of the most memorable pics from that trip. What inspired you to start living more minimally? Tell me about your minimalistic lifestyle and desires for travel and adventure. I’d love to hear what you’re doing to live a more simple life.
