RE: Has travel made you a minimalist?
Most definitely.
Being a minimalist provides you with a sense of freedom.
Freedom from your possessions. Freedom from all the time it takes to figure out "What do I want to bring, what should I leave?"
Freedom from having to return to any particular place because of what you've left behind.
I get that and like the idea, however the majority of things we keep and treasure have deep meanings. For example I have items from my child hood that I could never throw away. I think of minimalism more of not buying items such as a sign saying bath and hanging it above a bath.
