- Опубликовано: 8 авг 2017
- Goodbye things. Yeah, I actually did it! I sold all my possessions and I'm moving to ASIA!!! ( Okay, I have to finish Uni first and then ASIA). In this video, I share my life updates and how I'm taking minimalism to a new extreme by living out of a carry-on. I'm so excited to bring you along this next journey.
Frequently asked questions:
Who are you going to Asia with?
Me, myself, and I
How are you paying for your trip?
Savings and working remotely. Also, it's not a trip. It's a lifestyle.
Are you scared?
Heck yes, but isn't that the fun part?
Where in Asia?
Starting in Indonesia and then flexible from there. Any recommendations?
Can I hang out with you when you are in my country/city?
YASSS. DM me on Instagram if I am in your city! Let's get ZW tea or the equivalent in your country.
Are you backpacking?
Yes, without the backpack... Gurl, I like wheels.
Why are you doing this?
TBA 😉

dang your apartment slightly resembles the first 14 years of my childhood when we had nothing lol
I get the point of minimalism, but after my dad died i was greatful for all the pictures and thinks that can now reminde me of the great time, because that's now the only thing that's left. So don't get me wrong, i think in the consumerist society we all live, it's Important and good to free yourself from all the things that drag you down ( also regarding to the effects by producing all the items and the often poor conditions for the workers) but i think that you should think twice about that stuff you have a strong emotional bond and memorys left, because you could regret it.
I hope you understand me and i am sorry for my bad english skills
Do you still feel the same way? Apologies if this is an uncomfortable question
Excited for you. You'll have to do a how to pack minimally suitcase abroad trip video later on as well😊👍🏻
BICYCLING AUNTIE leave everything you do not pack at your parents' house so that you look like a minimalist!
Raw LawGirl I was suggesting for her adventure trips later in the new year she will be embarking on. 😊
Yes!! Will show that for sure 💚
that's such a great idea
Very exciting news! Looking forward to seeing your adventures. 😁
thanks 💚 Excited to bring you along for the adventure
Good luck! I'm curious to hear more about your plans. I'm a teacher, and I've gotten kind of tied into the education system (which I love, don't get me wrong), but I love hearing about people like you who are jetsetting around the world exploring and living their dreams!
Thanks, Lisa! I will keep this channel updated as things pan out.
I'm so jealous, happy and excited for you!!! That's so awesome! I wish you all the best in your journey!
Thank you 💚
I would love to sell all my things but I don't want to move in with my parents. I'm almost 50 so that wouldn't be very fun.
Haha you don't have to move in with your parents. I just have to finish my last semester of school.
Right
I think title Is a little miss leading. you will be using all your parents things...
It's different from having your own things and using your parents stuff...
good for you and good luck on your adventure. I wish you safe travels and look forward to seeing what you get up to. we sold our house and most of our things before moving back into my parents house (empty after my mum died) so we could save up and I am currently living out of a rucksack and traveling around Asia with my husband and baby girl (in Bali at the moment). I love living with the basic essentials and living a more simple existence! I even left my phone behind :) best wishes x
Looking forward to your travels!!! I had an apartment and decided to move home with my parents for grad school - an awesome decision as I have NO SCHOOL DEBT! I worked and had no rent because my parents are awesome. I lived there til I was 27 years old, and simply helped out around the house and the dog, and they loved it!
No debt is huge! Good for you! That has been my goal my whole college career. I transferred schools because it was just too expensive.
This is awesome. Right on! My minimalist movement is more of and OCD thing, opposite of hoarding, exacerbated as I'm aging. I'd much rather travel and do fun stuff like you! So young and optimistic with hopes and dreams
You're living my dream. You really did inspire me to take that step. Thank you! 😄
Its very cool that you are planning on stepping way out of your comfort zone. I'm sure you'll accomplish so much doing that. I'm pretty minimalist but I don't think I could get rid of everything but kuddos to you for being able to. :)
So so so exciting! I am also going fully nomadic in October, and heading to SE Asia! Maybe our paths will cross, I'd love that!😊💕
Maybe! Where are you headed?
The Girl Gone Green I'm flying to Bangkok on October 17th, and then I don't really have plans, I want to go with the flow. But I think I won't stay in Bangkok for long and head to the North, Chiang Mai and Pai. Then I want to go to Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, the Philippines and Indonesia. At least ^^
So there's a chance I'll be in Bali when you are there, depending on the order in which I do things :)
Do you also plan on going to other places in SE Asia?
I commute an hour and a half each way, 5 days a week to go to school full time.
I don't regret moving back home to complete my undergrad, I'm saving thousands each year, and I feel like I have done a lot of maturing, especially in terms of time management.
You can do it! It takes getting used to but you seem like someone who will complete whatever you set your mind to 💕 Best of luck!
Woohoo! Good for you! Can't wait to watch your journey unfold!
💚💚💚 Can't wait to bring you along
omG! I relate so much to this :) Just recently quit my job, moved in with my parents again and moving to Malaysia/Indonesia in february 18 'for a bit'. Would be so cool to meet up out there :) Good luck with school this semester!
That's awesome!! Twins 💚
Ermina Imamovic Hi! Muslim sister here (: Just wanted to advise not to say "omG" as, out of respect, one should not abbreviate the name of God.
+Maryam Kammoun it can also mean goodness haha
hey im in Indonesia too
This is super exciting!! I wish you all the best for your trip/new lifestyle 💚
That's awesome! I wish you luck! I kinda did the same thing. I was living in my car for 2.5 months in USA. I came to Turkey last week with my 24" suitcase and my 40l backpack :) and damn, I'm so behind on my update videos 😂
I've been a minimalism for over year and I love it! I have been wanting to go extreme because living even more simple is what I love. Its part of who I am. This video is great👍👍👍
thanks 💚💚💚 and good luck on your journey
Congrats on finishing school! Good luck with the transition and adventures. If Pittsburgh is one of your cities, give me a shout! I'd love to show you around. I love that you're going for "it"!
Thanks, Janice 💚
Livin' the dream! Congrats! There's a whole lotta world out there to see and only one life to see it in :)
Yes! 💚
Best of wishes in all of your life projects, I see a lot of courage on taking these decisions! Cheers!
Oh wow, I'm so happy for you! Really looking forward to following your journey :)
thanks 💚 Excited to share it with you
that is so cool!!! wish you all the good lucks ^.^ love love love your video, please please keep updated ^.^
Thanks, Lexi 💚💚💚
That's so awesome! My husband and I saw a documentary on minimalism and are working to embrace the lifestyle. We are Americans and moved to Colombia to have a better lifestyle. We were living in Florida before. Enjoy your next adventure!
That's awesome! Where in Colombia are you in?
The Girl Gone Green we are living in Bogota :) I'm working as a chiropractor here and hubby works at the embassy.
Yay! I'm from Indonesia, currently living in Japan though, you will LOVE Bali! Beautiful people, beautiful places, and lots of delicious vegan food
Thank you 💚 So excited
Can't wait to follow your journey! This is my first video of yours , and it won't be the last !
Just do it! All positive vibes going to you to live your dreams! And have fun while you are doing it!
Thank you 💚💚
WOW that is so great what you are doing! Happy adventuring and good luck in the next couple of months at University. Can you do a video about what you have left from your possessions in your carry on? Thats so crazy!
I already minimized so many things in my life, but it could never fit just in a carry on.
Oh and come to Berlin, Germany to visit 😌😉
Yes! I will definitely be sharing more
I need to do this! So inspirational to see people reduce their green footprint and live with less. I feel like I definitely need to do this and reduce my amount of spending. Not only does it help your head space but also just your general well being. Great video beauty! Just subbed found your channel through another channel!
Thank you, Amanda 💚
Hey just found this video :) nice! I'm also from Colombia, I sold and donated all my stuff and I'm backpacking through South America. Concuerdo con tu sentimiento de no querer estar amarrada físicamente a un lugar. Mucha suerte!
That echo...priceless!
oh, it's so loud. I keep thinking someone is in my apartment but it's just the echo haha
You are going to LOVE Bali. It is a bit of a shock to the system at first but then it has a way of making you fall in love with it and it doesn't let go. :)
Once you're done there, give Chiang Mai a try, there is a reason digital nomads keep ending up here, it's lovely. :)
Yes, Chiang Mai is at the top of my list!
I'm so happy for you!! Maybe after the holidays, you can come to Virginia and hang out with me.. teaching me more about the zero waste lifestyle.
Maybe! I do love the north
I can completely relate. You are so brave! It is one step backwards, three steps forward. Have fun! You are so infectiously happy!
That's a great way to put it! Thank you 💚
Sounds so super exciting!!! I want to move to Europe and travel. 🖤 I just finished up my wee baby associates degree and I'm working two jobs, one full and one part time, while building up my own platform and business. :o) right now I'm just establishing myself while also working towards paying off stuff like my car. My dream is to be able to move to Europe in the next five years or so and when I do, I'll probably give my car to my family. However I also want to make sure I help my family as much as possible first. Long road ahead of me but I'm excited. Also excited for your journey, can't wait to see what amazing adventures you'll take! xo
That's awesome! keep hustling 💚
This is so inspiring! Thank you for making this!
So funny! Im watching this while im in Bali (im from the Netherlands). I have all my stuff for 3 months traveling in Asia in just a carry on, its amazing!
yay Indonesia! I'm from Indonesia and I stumbled across this video. I can help you out if you need help, I was an exchange student last year (I went to the US) so I know what it's like to live in a foreign land. Best of luck!
Sounds super exciting!! Can't wait to see where you'll go and how your channel will evolve :)
thanks 💚
Travel safe and congrats on your upcoming graduation!! You are an inspiration!!
Thank you! 💚
hey girl 😊 I grad in December too, good for you for making big leaps and not saying no to your aspirations! I'm looking at doing a similar thing once I finish school too, all the best 💞
That's awesome! Good luck with your last semester! We are almost done 💚
Im so happy for you i can feel you!!!!!!! less is way more........ :D
Good luck girl! I'm excited for this journey.
Thank you 💚
I am super happy for you!!
I am Indonesian and I live Zero Waste for 1.5 years :D
But at the moment, I am studying in NL. Hi and Good luck for your study and future plan!
oh my...this video makes me wish I was in my 20's again. All the freedom and possibilities. Excited for you! Wish I had had your values when I was in college.
Very grateful to be in this mindset young but hey, it's never too late!
You sound and look so liberated!!! Happy travels
Very cool..can't wait to see your journey!!
💚💚 Can't wait to share it!
I'm interested to hear the tba on why you're doing this. You're very brave though. Perhaps that's reason enough -- why not challenge yourself to expand what you're capable of? I wish you the best.
I did the same thing. Moved back in with my parents (although it was not planned, bc of health issues) but now I still have to move all my stuff from my old apartment. Pretty sure I want to sell most of it, too, less things sounds good right now, less stuff weighing me down😅
💚 It's very freeing
Cat23 d
Omgosh same. I feel exactly like your comment. I just moved back in with my dad. I'm planning on just being here for about 3 to 4 months. Trying to sell everything! Haha
How freeing is it for the parents?
Love your videos! I just got back from a month in Bali and had a great time. You're going to love it! Could you do a video on what you decided to keep? Living out of a carry-on is serious goals.
Yes, I will do that! Do you have any Bali recommendations?
Yes! I stayed in Sanur which is in the SE part of the island. This is a great spot to stay if you are looking to scuba dive frequently. I completed a dive master internship at Blue Season Bali and had a great experience, so if you are looking to snorkel, dive, or get any certifications I highly recommend them. If you get a chance, definitely go diving/snorkeling off the coast of Nusa Penida, which is a smaller nearby island. Depending on where you are staying it is an easy day trip. Manta Point is my favorite dive site I've every been to and is great for snorkeling as well.
Other common places to stay are near Canggu and Ubud. Canggu is on the coast and is hub for surfers and surf lessons. I also heard there are great co-working spaces in that area, but did not use any of them personally. Ubud is another common place to stay. There are a lot of yoga centers, cultural experiences, and great restaurants in that area. The only downside is Ubud is inland, so no beach. Common activities near Ubud include visiting the rice terraces (which was beautiful, but very touristy in the main sections), the monkey forest (which was really incredible, but also pretty touristy), and visiting temples (definitely a must see). My favorite temple I visited was the temple of holy water (Pura Titra Empul).
If you decide to stay near Sanur, let me know and I can provide additional information on guest houses and restaurants that I enjoyed in the area. I hope that helps and is enough to get you started in the planning process!
Very excited for you! Good luck!
thank you 💚
Where did you mostly sell all of your things? Did it take awhile to get rid of everything?
I think I'm on this same path. Good luck and best wishes to you!
thank you 💚 good luck on your journey
You need to go to Malta after Indonesia!!!!! For starters it's INSANELY underrated, but also from Malta your just a short distance away from 3 different continents which means you could pretty much go anywhere afterwards.
What a bold move! Wish you all the best Manuela 💛 also, I'll visit the Philippines next year! You can stay with me and we'll go to the amazing places in the PH!
YES!!! Let's explore!!💚
Bali!! I studied abroad there, I hope you love it! It attracts a lot of nomads so you will feel right at home :)
Oh my! Looooove it. We're decluttering a 3rd wave right now preparing for something potentially similar. Can't wait to hear more about this.
Yes! Come join the nomadic cult
I lived at home for part of graduate school and also commuted an hour twice a week! It was not that bad. :) Good luck! :)
Thanks for the reassurance! I keep telling myself that.
You go, girl!👍🏼
so glad you gonna move to my country!
Awesome! Wish you the best girl, go for it!
Thank you, Natali 💚
👩🎓 CONGRATS ON GRADUATION!!! 🎈 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Travel & Be Free✨✨✨❤️
Wow that sounds amazing :) Good luck!
Thank you 💚
i could watch you speak all day. You're so charming! massive crush lol. Love the minimalism content!
wow I need to do this!! Good luck!!
I was watching your skin care routine and noticed you had cystic acne. How did you cure it and how long did it take? I cleaned up my diet completely and I am only wearing mineral organic non-comedogenic makeup. Please let me know!
so cool and super exciting! 😊 Wishing you the absolute best. out of curiosity, where do you/ will you be freelancing for? blogs, magazines, online publications? I'm a freelancer too and would love to know if there are any open spots available - especially if they need content about green living! ☺
Two mths ago I came to living solutions One items of each (no double no need spare I choose good quality but qualified in what I need for daily basic of living) I have skimmed down to 4 boxesAnd life is never need to have a second thought of the secondary of thinking of those things. Part of living minimalist is "lived to letting go" I'm an Asian , Buddhism, and minimalist.
I have studied your vdo before I saying bye to the maximize life.
Part of the keys of living minimalist life is be the good tidy.
I'm a cluster person as been living alone and been living in the city for a long times where there are many option (options of consumerist). I really talking to myself because once you can't connect to the bottom of your innermost you will be trapped in those marketings of buy more but use it's less. If I display the object it would have to be use able killing the show (show unit item) it's strange to buy thing and find thing to displayed it. Btw I don't support IKEA items as the idea has become that you soon collect the small items that still become future waste.
Ikea stuff also doesn't last long. That's great that you are minimizing your things. It can be easy to get stuck in the consumeristic ways.
Good for you, I wish I was this courageous, adventurous, and just confident...
I’m from indonesia, and knowing you would try to live to indonesia, sure it’s hard to keep in the zero waste life style because here in indonesia, plastic is a daily basis. But yeah i hope you enjoy indonesia next year :)
So happy for you!
Thank you, Katie 💚
I was sure you had native descent but it turns out you are Colombian, so cool parcerita, best of luck in your plans and thank you for the inspiring videos !
Thank you 💚
YES GIRL! We are starting to live in different cities starting in Jan. We are just starting the process now of selling everything, everything in the house, selling a car, and getting a renter in the house! I'm so ready.. Now huge debate... South for the winter Ft. Lauderdale OR North for the winter.. Colorado?! I'm so excited!
SOUTH
I'm a sucker for snow during the holidays but I also hate the cold so I stick to Florida haha
The Girl Gone Green thanks! Leaning way more towards south florida!
it sounds so freeing ❤️
hi! im just begin to learn about minimalism, and found your channel. glad to know you're going to Bali, Indonesia because Im from Indonesia. just ask me if you need info about Indonesia!
I’ve been thinking about doing the same but it’s just so much. I’m getting older and wiser with my money. Use to love shopping and buying new things but now it’s just something else to add to the rest of my stuff. I’m 31 and have a 4 bedroom/3 1/2 bathroom home with garage but is still paying $145 for a storage unit. I’m also ready to go back to a simple life of just a few things and one car.
I find storage units fascinating! It's so common in our society yet so unnecessary. I would love to conduct research on it or something to really understand it
Please start vloging this journey it would be so cool to see you living in Bali!
Will be updating!
AYEEEE you graduated on my birthday congrats!!!
Any tips on selling EVERYTHING? I’ve been trying to downsize and some items seem a little odd to sell, but I hate throwing things out.
so exciting! Congrats :)
Thanks, Christina! 💚
honestly i didnt get the backpacking answer. do you go without anything honestly?
Saw the title And subscribed immidiately!! 💖💖
Where did u get the big black lamp
i just found out about your channel and i'm honestly in love and i love your personality sm
ps. i'm from indonesia and i would rlly like to meet you!💓
i would love to give you a tour btw x
best of luck for your journey girl
I'm not sure where it's from. Most of my clothes is secondhand
So much light radiating from you, beautiful! Loved watching your excitement for this next chapter of your life. Sending prayers for smooth tides until then.
hi I'm from indonesia and I'm so glad you would go to Bali. it is such a nice place to live and cheaper than other countries.
Hi 💚 Any cultural recommendations to know so I can be respectful while visiting your country?
Bali is amazing! You will love it
Super excited 💚💚
Definitely extreme when you own only what's in your carry on. I'm still working on my minimalism journey
Learning from you!
Good luck!
What do u do if u have guests? Do u invite people/ relatives in your home? how do u manage that?
Sounds very exciting! We did the same recently but we are in our 50s...better late than never. Right? lol Great video!
Yes! Aways time for adventure 💚
Hey, I just started reading that book as well and i loved it so far. Just wanted to ask where and how you sold everything you owned, because that is something I am looking to do myself.
I sold big items on FB and donated the small stuff
Just make sure to be extra safe while you're traveling! The sad reality is lone foreign girls are often kidnapped in places like Indonesia. As long as you're extra cautious and aware of your surroundings, it should be fine and also a ton of fun. :]
Yes! My mom is very concerned
I live in Central FL! /waves to wherever in FL you are *Smiles* I'm selling a lot of my stuff as well and, although I was kind of "born" a minimalist...lol...the more things I let go, the freer I feel!! Have fun!!
St.Pete 💚 Well soon to be Sarasota
Not too far away!! :)
Can you make a more in-depth video/review about Goodbye Things?
Lauren Hannah just move back in with your parents. no book needed.
Sure! It was a great book with a lot of thought provoking topics.
So inspiring as always! Lesser things, greater freedom!
Yes💚 Less is more
