I’m curious how other extreme minimalists find like-minded friends in real life.
Most people I meet are cool, but minimalism is usually more of a “declutter once in a while” thing, not a real lifestyle. I’m more drawn to simple living, one-bag/zero-bag travel, owning very little, quiet spaces, intentional routines, and spending money on health/travel/experiences instead of more stuff.
I’m not looking for people who match my exact rules or item count. More just people who understand the mindset and don’t think an empty room, small wardrobe, or traveling with almost nothing is weird.
Have any of you found minimalist friends in person? Did you meet them through Reddit, travel, local groups, hobbies, volunteering, or something else?
Also open to chatting with people here who are into the same kind of lifestyle.
