Hike Utah’s canyons with minimalist, Joshua Becker!

ABOUT JOSHUA:

“Own less. Live more,” says minimalist, Joshua Becker, who is one of the leading voices in the modern simplicity movement.

Joshua Becker is the #1 Wall Street Journal and USA Today best-selling author of five books: Things That Matter, The Minimalist Home, The More of Less, Clutterfree with Kids, and Simplify.  

He is the Founder and Editor of Becoming Minimalist, a website dedicated to intentional living with over one million readers every month. Becoming Minimalist was named by SUCCESS Magazine as one of the top ten personal development websites. 

Since its inception, Joshua’s online course, Uncluttered, has helped over 75,000 people declutter their homes and live a more intentional life. His app, Clutterfree, is the only app to create a personalized, room-by-room decluttering to-do list for your home. Joshua’s social media following? Over three million!

Tonight, we sleep in tents under the darkest skies and most brilliant stars! Included meals = Lunch & Dinner. Accommodations = Tent Miles = 2.

Day 2:

Good morning! Today is simple, beautiful, and epic! We’ll wake in the desert and fall asleep in the desert, no civilization in sight.

Included meals = Breakfast, Lunch, & Dinner. Accommodations = Tents. Miles = 4 to 6.
