Who is Minimalist Journeys?

Launched in 2016, Minimalist Journeys is more than another lifestyle and travel blog. Passionate about life and our beautiful planet, we aim to inspire and guide our audience towards a more intentional and responsible way of living and travelling.

As micro-influencers focused on supporting the UN Sustainable Development Goals, we have a strong moral compass that guides our work. For us, being ethical, intentional and responsible is not an add-on or a nice-to-have. It is woven into all aspects of our (location-independent) lives and reflected in our content.

Who is our audience?

Minimalist Journeys has a worldwide reach. Our audience tends to be more mature (not necessarily in age but in mind) – people who are more attuned to their values and strive to live by them. Our readers seek proven, actionable tips that help them

  • create a simpler, more intentional and balanced life, and
  • travel more responsibly and authentically, without breaking the bank.

Why work with us?

With more than 20 years (combined) in product management (Paul) and management consulting (Sandra), it may not come as a surprise that we research and critically assess products and services before we buy. What we own and use daily (and recommend to our audience) has been carefully curated and tested over the long term.

As minimalists, human connection and impactful experiences are more important to us than material items and status symbols:

  • We travel slowly, limiting our footprint and immersing ourselves in the communities we visit.
  • We love discovering what’s unique and special about a destination and sharing our findings with our audience.
  • From backpacking to van life, and from tiny houses to permaculture, we’ve lived different lifestyles and love sharing our experiences with those seeking (more meaningful) alternatives to the mainstream.

So, how can we simultaneously add value to YOUR BUSINESS and serve OUR AUDIENCE?
