A Little Extra

Here are some links to websites that have informed and educated me along the way and as I move forward.  I thought I’d share some of what I think is neat:

1. These are my friends Jeremy and Winnie.  I have mentioned them in my blog.  Their journey is very different than mine, but they took the offramp the same time I did.  J. is an entertaining writer and W. is an astonishing photographer.

2. I only know Korey through friends.  His journey is a bit more similar to my own, but he refers more to traveling to find himself.  As I have said to everyone who asked me if I was doing the same, “I didn’t lose me.”

3. This is just a fun site to read about travel, with an open heart and perhaps a more thoughtful budget.

4. Oddly, I only read this today when a friend linked this to me on Facebook.  But boy, does it resonate!

5. I have looked at minimalist blogs for years.  I have always felt oppressed by owning too much stuff and the responsibilities of caring for it.  This blog expresses the philosophy in lovely prose (and their formatting is great!).
