SELLING ALL OF MY MATERIAL POSSESSIONS AND BEGINNING MY JOURNEY TO LIVING A NOMADIC AND MINIMALISTIC LIFESTYLE

in veteran •  7 years ago 

 Hello World!
I am John The Savage and I am a Marine Corps / Iraq War Veteran with severe PTSD and severe depression. I have decided to start a new chapter in my life to better my mental health and get in touch with my spirituality to bring me peace and fulfilment in life. I have decided at this point that I want to give up all of my material possessions and live a life on the road, traveling the country and possibly the world with my American Pitbull Terrier Blu. This is a journey I feel I must embark on for both spiritual and mental health reasons. Neither people nor material possessions have brought me any real happiness or understanding of who I am, what I am, and where it is I am to be at the undetermined end of my lifetime. Today I sit here typing this out in a basement living with a roommate. I have stuff here, and stuff stored at my mother's house that I need to start selling. In order for this to work out for me, I need to be debt free and separated from all of my belongings, while being disciplined enough not to buy anything new. I hope you join Blu and I in our adventure.

Following! My husband, 5 children and myself left Australia 6 years ago and never have looked back. We now live in Siem Reap, Cambodia. It was certainly the best for all of us. Cannot wait to hear of kore of your own personal journey .

Thank you! I am very excited about this decision, though it is going to take some hard work, discipline, and determination to make it happen, having someone follow my journey helps to keep me on track. Thank you again!
