I live in Ontario, Canada with my husband and two children. I emigrated with my family to Canada in 2015, leaving behind the usual commitments modern life entails. It was this transition from life in one country to another that first ignited my interest in living a more simple life. On first arriving in Canada we managed without the things that we took for granted before. Instead of life feeling more complicated with fewer things (such as a vehicle), we actually felt life was easier freer. I have come to think that we can be burdened by too many possessions and commitments in our lives. I believe that life can be happier and more fulfilling by having less.
