  i’ve been living out of a suitcase a lot in the last few months, mostly to be with friends and family. i don’t really mind it. it keeps me from doing some things i need to do at home, but sometimes the things you leave home for are just more important. there are some people you would go to the ends of the earth for if you thought they needed you, you know?

  i hope that i get to do some traveling for fun and adventure, too, soon, but i am not as independent as you are, i guess: i really want a companion for that kind of thing.
  still, i feel lucky that i have the freedom right now to live out of a suitcase, to go where i want and need to be, even to extend my stay for a week or two like i am about to do on the trip i’m on right now. -justin case

  i completely agree, last year when i came home for christmas break, all i packed was my backpack.

  It was so liberating not to have to think about to many clothes.

  I love this. This idea of yours resonates the most with me. As a College student, I am learning to do this too! Although I’ve narrowed it down to 3 med bags and a backpack, but it’s close!

  I agree that “less is more”. There’s nothing worse than having to move and move a whole heap of crap and throw out a whole bunch of stuff which I’m having to do now.

  I see it was the right time for me to come back to your site Mr. Wavey.

  Tomorrow, plumbers are coming to install pipes from the basement for a new furnace, and to remove the 2 gas heaters that have done a lousy job at keeping this apartment warm the last 4 winters. I need to move/get rid of a lot of crap I have, taking up space.

  Why do I hold onto all these books, papers, random little pieces of random disassembled items? Am I ever going to use this stuff again or am I holding onto it all as some kind of bizarre security blanket I’ll never use? Time to be strong.

  Davey! Good to see you’re coming to Aus!! You should come up to Brisbane and see the sights… (Granted it will take all of a day, but come for a weekend and check out some of our great clubs) – we have one of the best clubs in Australia, home to ‘Fluffy’ Gay and Lesbian night. Have a great trip! : )

  Even most of the minimalists in the world have crap they can live without. I, for one, have far too much crap in my surroundings. I often coach people on their physical environments. I would suggest that a person’s physical environment is an extension of their mental and emotional environment. We often keep our dwellings in a condition that represents how we keep ourselves. Most people – myself included – find it a massive challenge to boil their belongings down to the things that are truly important to them. But, like making a good soup, sometimes you have to condense something by boiling off the tasteless, unnecessary bits to make it really spectacular. I find that when I travel and live out of a suitcase I have a far less difficult time choosing what to wear. I always know where everything is. I’m far neater and more organized. It’s ridiculous that I refuse to boil down my home life in that manner. I realize I have an attachment to things I think I might need in the future – GOOD GRIEF!! LOL Thanks for this post. It’s really made me think about things. It’s one thing to coach others on their environments but sometimes it takes an outside force to incite a person to make changes within their own.

  I probably could, I really don’t care about clothes etc., but I couldn’t live more that 20 days top without books of my library that is expanding and expending all the time… xD anyway, really inspiring my suitcases would probably be like – 2-3 pairs of pants, some shirts, underwear and books, books, books lmao

  I have just moved from a 4-bedroom 4300 sq. ft. house to an 1150 sq. ft. apartment. It is a transition for me en route to retirement in Europe. I unloaded virtually everything including my beloved grand piano. Difficult to part with were some books, but I am ready to divest and live more simply. The things that really make me happy are good times with friends and family. I can do that even more now as my time has been freed. It is an exciting time!

  I hope you have a great time in Rhode Island and on Australia Island. You have a beautiful body, but I hope you don’t get any bigger. In that photo of you doing a press on your suitcase, your triceps are on the cusp of looking “freaky” big !!

  The empty stomach day is the worst part of these medical procedures. Packing is always difficult. Recently an organist from France was flying from the USA to give a recital in Toronto and put the essentials in his carry-on-luggage. He arrived at 8 p.m. The luggage had disappeard – with his music, organ shoes, underwear etc. However, this winner of an international organ competition, played an exciting recital at Roy Thomson Hall -sans shoes, sans music, and the airline had his carry-on when he arrived back in USA at another airport. The difficult thing for you to pack is all the love which surrounds you but that is all you really need. Bon courage.

  When I go on holiday at my parent’s, I take too much clothes, and I never have the time to all wear them. I even think 50% of clothes are unnecessary.

  Now I finally get why there always seems to be a guy arrested while riding a motorcycle naked. They’re going to have a heck of a time citing me with out a driver’s license and being on a borrowed steed, though. I knew a celebrity that didn’t have much of anything, lived in various hotels and had a penchant for room service. He often borrowed clothes from me and always returned them to me fresh from the cleaners.I said, “You should return them dirty, so I can sell them on E-Bay and get more for them than I paid for them.” He grabbed me by the neck and pulled my head to his face and said “Do that and I will kill you.” His acting didn’t suck that time and noticing the look on my face he just gave me one of his very rare smiles. (moody kid with a hard childhood) His vagabond lifestyle was a real trip for me. He liked me and said that I was “the only one who got it.” He never was seen with even a suitcase. I don’t even think he even owned a car in those years, preferring to ride his 30 year old motorcycle. One of the staff members of the hotel asked if I was going to shuttle some of his stuff for him or was he going to be the one. I told him “It’s on you dude, I only have a motorcycle and live 30 miles away.” I missed those years. He has a home in the Hollywood Hills now. I just don’t want to visit there. Like Paul McCartney famously said when he answered the question of a Beatles reunion ” You can’t reheat a souffle.” (How deliciously queenly of him)The closest I’d come to a vagabond lifestyle like his for about a decade would go the homeless route. Ten years of luxe hotels with room service would practically dust anyone’s 401k.

  Hey Davey,

  Well all you have to do is to decide whether or not to buy a suitcase when you get to Australia to bring back with you what you get when you are there!

  I remember fasting from my many colonoscopies. That’s, of course, the hardest part. They knock you out for the rest, so the painful part is easy. And — if you’re as demanding as I apparently am when waking up from anesthesia — the aftermath ain’t that bad either. (Apparently I habitually demand popsicles and ice cream as I regain awareness. The first thing I remember after every one I’ve had is having a popsicle already in my mouth and, some times, another one waiting for me. Not too shabby!)

  Oooh, winter in southern Rhode Island! If I weren’t wintering here myself, you would have my deepest sympathy. As it is, we’re stuck in the same chilly boat! (I just hope your parents live closer to civilization than mine do! It’s tough to be in the middle of nowhere down here, but they managed it. ) It’s cold, and the beaches are closed… it’s taking some adjusting for me to live here, but at least you’re only visiting for a month!

  The other obstacle to my sympathy here is, of course, that you’re following that by visiting Sydney for a month. I can’t be too sympathetic when I’m suffering from profound jealousy.

  And I would also like to know what Chipotle’s winter plans are!
