Recently I have gotten pretty serious about reducing not only my single plastic use but my entire waste foot print on the planet. Becoming more minimalistic seems to be a natural progression of living more consciously. I realise I have a long way to go in my home life to be a minimalist but for me travelling as one is the perfect foray into to realising what I really need.

Don’t worry thirty is the new twenty.
Don’t worry life actually only begins at thirty. Don’t worry, your still young.
At thirty I heard all the goodies. I even remember buying into some of these thought patterns, anxious about turning the page on a decade, and reassuring myself that thirty was not downhill so to speak.

Time.
Six years ago I was on addicted to drugs.
FIve years ago I was studying post grad psychology.
Four years ago I was confused, unemployed but in love.

Lately someone told me I have changed, and while my initial instinct was to be slightly offended, I mean changed from what? Changed how? But then I realised I was proud that I had. I do not want to be the same as I was ten, five or even 2 years ago. We don't build our dream by not changing.

One day in Seoul and tomorrow morning I am embarking on a 3-day water fast. Seriously, you what? I can hear you say already. It might sound drastic but it’s not. Here is the why, and the how.
To say I am excited to be here is an understatement, for I am definitely that and more.
