-MINIMALIST TRAVEL-
GLOBAL TRAVEL WITH NOTHING BUT A BUM-BAG.
Extreme ease and simplicity. Minimalist travel, is that really a thing?
Beginning from an early decision to travel with carry-on luggage only, in 2015 I decided to send my small bag back to England from Asia and travel with no luggage. I have since travelled through Asia, Europe and South America with nothing but a bum bag.
By using a minimalist system to your advantage, you will have more freedom and added flexibility.
Don't see your baggage limit as an entitlement to fill. When we travel with this mind-set, we are burdened, unable to explore from A to B or to fit onto public transport without immense discomfort.
Question everything that you carry with you. Why do you need it? Do you unnecessarily rely upon it?
Try not to take it. It's healthy to rely on less, to have less plastic identities.
Require and acquire only the essentials. Appreciate how little you really need.
50litre bags don't pack themselves. 15kg bags don't carry themselves.
Bum bag global travel - the only negative to travelling light is helping carry other peoples luggage.
