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

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?

@kaceyg1758

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!

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!

they say facebook groups are good. Ebay: for things that will sell high, like rare (desirable rare) vinyl, computers, start at 99p and watch it soar. For low-value things (clothes, rare but not highly desired vinyl) set a price and just wait a year, slow but sure. Or car-boot sales (yard sales? some terms don't translate) and bulk-selling eg to dealers, secondhand shops, or on ebay as 'bundle of x' 'job lot of x suit carboot sale' or as job lots at auction houses.

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.
