Have you ever felt overwhelmed by not only physical clutter, but also perceived obligations and expectations? Minimalism is more than just getting rid of "stuff" and decluttering. It's a way of getting more connected with your "why" and acting in your values. Paul and Sandra, from Minimalist Journeys, share their journey into minimalism and travel house sitting. They help break down what minimalism is, and isn't. They also tell stories from nomadic house sitting and how to get better at receiving feedback!

We only have one life, so don't try living someone else's. Actions follow values, values follow your 'why'. About our guest: Farewelling their well-paying corporate careers in Sydney in 2016, Paul and Sandra have made it their mission to help others experience more by living with less. They are passionate about intentional, minimalist living and mindful, sustainable travel. As Gen X digital nomads with no fixed abode, house-sitting has allowed them to get their animal-fix, experience different communities and reduce their living expenses. With high-speed internet at most homes, both work on business projects, including their travel and lifestyle blog. Their lifestyle audience tends to be people who are at turning points in their lives, who are wondering what's next. Paul and Sandra help them find new inspiration and direction to create the life they love - by sharing their and other people's journeys on their website and more recently through online courses and by speaking at events. The couple's travel audience is looking for affordable travel experiences that are gentle on our planet and contribute to the communities they visit. Paul and Sandra help them truly experience a destination with well-researched travel guides and tried and tested itineraries - all easily accessible on their website.
