Condensed into a 3-minute read — Nearly two and a half years ago I took my minimalist lifestyle to the next level. I sold my house, car, and pretty much everything else I owned and left the UK for a life of perpetual travel with only one suitcase (and a Charlie Brown) for company. My bag…

At 40 I’m Starting My Career Over and I’m Terrified.
