MAXIMS

Traveling with fewer things creates room for more experiences.

Expansive travel does not require expensive travel.

If joy is a destination, then you have already arrived.

Minimalists maximize their appreciation with things that enhance their experiences.

On a long enough timeline, everything is impermanent.

Every destination is desirable when decision-making is a process of discovery.

A worrier is a person who concerns himself with outcomes outside his control.

Living in the moment is the antidote to the fear of missing out.
