ALL YOU NEED IS LESS

NEW MOTTO: HAVE LESS, DO MORE, BE MORE

At night when you sit by the late night fire what are the things you talk about? What are the dreams you think about? What are you longing for? For me lately its been all about searching for a way to feel free again and letting go of things that matter least. The goal to create an environment for our kids where the tension and stress can be limited to minimum. 
In the last few years we lost track of what it is that makes us happy. Having big house filled with material things begun to weight us down. We needed a change. For a while a thought of a small house in the woods or an organic sustainable farm made all sense to us. Later this dream was pushed out and a dream of travel appeared.
Every camping trip we took made us realize how little things we really needed to make us HAPPY. Watching kids run freely in the woods, play with sticks enjoying the temporary freedom from stuff made us realize we want to hold on to that moment forever. Being surrounded by nature without the constant ability to connect ourselves to the world and news would make us look at each other in a different kind of light. We hope we can find happiness in Costa Rica. 
"HE WHO BUYS WHAT HE DOES NOT NEED STEALS FROM HIMSELF" this Swedish proverb is simple but holds true to many of us.
