(un)certainties: Life with Less

Life can be heavy. And life can be full. The difference is worth considering.

Here you will find our ruminations about and adventures toward a Life with Less.

This short video excited us and got us thinking. Maybe it will you too.

Money

Does it make the world go round? Are there alternatives? Lots of people seem to think so.

- When we were traveling in Colombia, our money started running out. Here's how that felt.

Work

We all dream of a job we love, that makes money less of an issue. But isn't there more to work than this?

- Our new friends in Bogota help us to find fulfilling work, with no money involved.
- We have been doing some volunteering on our travels.

Food

There aren't any alternatives to this! But there needn't be, there's an abundance of it in the world.

Shelter

It isn't all rent and mortgages. There's wild-camping, squatting, sleeping rough, couchsurfing, cooperative living etc.

Travel

Plane tickets cleaned us out, hitchhiking set us free. You'd be surprised how you can get from A-B, and how important C can be.

- We decided that we'd start hitchhiking.
- We hitchhiked from Colombia to Ecuador.

Philosophy

Well, it's worth thinking about, innit.

- As we confronted the inevitability of our money running out, we looked back.
- The Moneyless Man- Mark has been living without money for many years now.

Not for the Dinner Table

Defecation, periods, sex, alcohol, infections, parties, urine stains and saddle sore.
