Overview
Global travel with nothing but a bum bag. Sharing the realities of 'true minimalist travel' and a choice to live simply. A travel adventure series with a difference, there’s no luggage! Experienced traveller and amateur filmmaker Benjamin Luke Mitchell (Lost Yet Free), explores the possibilities of freedom if one opens up their mind and leaves the backpack behind. No packing or carrying necessary, the philosophy here is to live simply, without restraints. Our curiosities spur the way, and an ultralight approach allow us to access places and global gifts beyond the reach of a big, heavy sack. This is a personal quest, an introspective story about a man learning how to confront that continual feeling of bewilderment. True Minimalist Travel is not full of glamor or celebrations, nor will it show you the top day-trips, tours and sights, but it will uncover the very essence of why we travel in the first place and for each instalment told, it becomes a journey in itself.

Overview
Global travel with nothing but a bum bag - Video 5/ The personal effects of travelling without luggage. In this episode, I reflect on how minimalism has had a lasting influence on my life. I explore some of the positive and negative implications from living out of a tiny bag. Throughout my travels, I've learnt that the best way to face any pre-trip concerns is simply to begin. We sometimes pay too much attention to all the minor details which add up and can make us lose sight of our primary objectives. By choosing minimalist travel, we are placing all our focus on just the important things that we really need ...but can minimalism become a distraction in itself?
