Extreme Minimalism: From House to Hotels to Cruise Ship Nomad
What happens when a corporate commuter, homeowner, and max‑level consumer transforms into an extreme minimalist and full‑time nomad for 16 years… and is still going strong? This is my origin story — the real, honest journey of how I went from living a traditional life to living in hotels with 2 suitcases, to living on cruise ships and carrying what I need in a backpack. In this video, I share the choices, challenges, and unexpected turns that shaped my path — from living abroad, hotel living, and reality-changing vacations… to navigating Type 1 diabetes, finding community on the move, and now embracing cruise ships as home. You’ll hear about: • how minimalism changed my life • what nomadic living actually feels like • what I learned living abroad, living in hotels, and living on cruise ships • how I stay connected to friends and family • how I manage Type 1 diabetes while traveling full-time • and why freedom, in any form you can create, is priceless Chapter 1 - The First Detour & Transformation Chapter 2 - The House That Owned Me Chapter 3 - Love & The Leap to Canada Chapter 4 - The Minimalism Awakening Chapter 5 - The Bahamian Transformation (The Importance of Getting Away) Chapter 6 - Rebuilding Life with Intention: How I Aligned My Life with My Values Chapter 7 - Extreme Minimalism: 2 Suitcases + Europe Chapter 8 - The Logic and Realities of Hotel Living Chapter 9 - Should We Stop Being Nomads and "Settle Down"?
