Welcome

Welcome to Mr. Minimalist!

 

My name is Tom, full-time traveler, and part-time blogger. I spend most of my waking hours thinking of ways to make travel easier for as many people as possible. That obsession has translated into what you see here, a hodgepodge of travel tips, packing tips, how-to guides, and references to space-saving gadgets and tools. I'm not here to sell you anything, and I don't get commission for any of the products I reference, I simply want people to know how simple and easy travel can be, and how little you actually need.

The tips found here are things I wish I'd known before hitting the road many years ago, so it's great for people planning, or considering, long-term travel. As the name suggests, many articles are focused on minimalist travel, but the packing tips and how-to guides are applicable to a wide range of travelers.

​

If you're interested in staying up to date on the latest travel hacks, packing tips, or products that help minimize your pack, I send out a monthly newsletter with the highlights, feel free to join!  Or follow me on Instagram @mr.minimalist
