A little about Val

My name is Val and at the time of this writing, I am finishing up my last semester of college. I enjoy photography, traveling, and reading all about whatever I’m interested in at the moment. I also enjoy writing for my blog, On Minimalism.

I have always had minimalist tendencies, but until recently I held onto some traditional beliefs about how an adult is supposed to live. My boyfriend and I collected a lot of junk that we thought we needed when we moved into our first apartment together, but soon realized that we didn’t need or want most of it.

We have gotten rid of the junk we collected and then some, but we still have a little way to go. We feel very lucky that we are beginning our adult lives as minimalists and are looking forward to continuing to live more with less.

About everydayminimalist

I'm a 20-something year old girl who lived out of a single suitcase in 2007, and now I'm living with less, but only with the best. You don't have to get rid of everything to become a minimalist! Minimalism can help simplify and organize your life, career, & physical surroundings. You can read more about me as a minimalist. Or come and visit my other blog Fabulously Broke in the City where I got out of $60,000 of debt in 18 months, earning $65,000 gross/year.
