Before we left on this year long adventure we were talking with a dear friend of ours, she said “what are you going to do with all of the things you buy on your travels? Are you going to ship them back?” We had kind of a deer in the headlights look and kindly said we probably won’t buy anything. According to a National Geographic article Americans are tremendous consumers and we have more “stuff” per capita than any other country in the world. I also know that much of our stuff ends up in a landfill. I’ve been making an effort to give away anything that is not necessary or does not bring me joy. It’s really very freeing.
