"Living like a turtle with your home on your back"

How could there be a greater way to spend your life than to live so simply that all your necessary possessions while on this earth fit into a pack on your back? It's a place where you are so free because nothing can hold you back. You are free to explore the world. Go anywhere and everywhere on a moments notice. Tired of China? Hop on a bus, train, boat or plane.  Or find a horse and a guide! Go to Bali.  Or Mongolia.  Or anywhere! Of course you need to work or save money to go absolutely anywhere, but you get the point. And you can find a way to make it happen. If I did it, I am certain that every single one of you can do the same. The key is to live simple. Be a minimalist. No big houses. No fancy cars. No Gucci or Louis Vuitton (I barely know what these are).  That's what works for me. Experiences. Not things.
