You dislike my v*deos? Are you just a h8er boi? I say see you l8er boi. Don't watch my stuff anymore. Your dislikes are damaging my good reputation. I am a superstar, dear ben
I once sold all my stuff too. Then realized I needed some stuff. I bought that stuff but also a little more. Then sold the more. Now only have the stuff. Enough stuff.
i love how she mentioned that she felt free but also felt the judgement / concern about not having "an address." I never really thought of it like that, but deciding to go against that judgement seems so powerful. very inspiring Matt. Thanks for sharing :)
@@lindyn4 it’s probably more of the fact that almost no one would sell everything they own. Not a personality thing, more of a thought about how extreme this move was
you can't be joyful if you are hungry. seriously though this minimalism thing is only applicable to people who is wealthy enough. How can you apply minimalist if you do not even have a home.
Natalie saying "freedom to be found in living lighter" and the whole turing thing...self-judegment...PREACH. Spot-on. So refreshing to hear this honest conversation.

Natalie, I’m with you girl! I turned thirty in 2020 and I’m “starting over” in many ways. All the negative self talk is real! But you’re not alone and it’s ok! Life is made up of seasons and this is just another season that you (and I am as well) are beginning. It’s not backward or forward, it’s just new. Best of luck.
Me after literally decluttering my room today: "It's weird not having that stuff there..woah so much space" Matt the same day: "So yeah I got rid of everything I own"
When I turned 30, I took a full year sabbatical to travel around the world with my partner, now wife. We went through the same process as you, selling, donating and giving up most of our possessions. I was daunting then, but liberating afterwards. That year was pivotal in my life. It made me more open to experiences, more resilient, more adaptive and more tolerant to uncertainty. Since returning, I took a better job than I had before, live in a better place than before and improved my life and wellbeing having realised during that nomadic year what I truly value in life. Our circumstances are different, but I am convinced that this move, however stressful it may feel now, will ultimately make you better, Matt and Natalie. Best wishes onto the adventure that awaits you!
WE’RE EXCITED TO HAVE YOU!! I hope the stress passes soon, that you have a toasty (but not too toasty because wow it’s been WARM) Aussie Christmas. If you and Nat ever hit up the Gold Coast for a beachy weekend away hit me up! Sending love ❤️
Matt, we both quit our jobs and sold most of our stuff back in early 2019 and went to Australia for one year. BEST. DECISION. EVER. We've had the time of our lives and want to keep doing it (waiting for all this mess to go away). It is scary, but it's easier than you think. You are going to love the experience. Funny note, you are one of those who made us take the decision to have less, and now we are the ones telling you everything is going to be alright :D Keep up the excellent work, and hope you have a wonderful birthday.
I can relate. Moving for whatever reason/s is always stressful! Good luck and I wish you both continued success and much happiness wherever you go. Stay well.
I can't describe how proud I am of you three (Matt, Joshua & Ryan), I've been a long time follower and you guys always find a way to add value. The documentary is now added to my list and I can't wait to gobble it up. So exciting to see all your hard work paying off! Also good luck with the move, hope it all goes smoothly. Take care Matt & Natalie, we'll still be here once you've settled in your new home!
Yay! You're going to Sydney 😀 We haven't been able to get back there since Covid, so it'll be nice to see our home city through your lens. We did the big sell of stuff just before we started travelling a bit over a year ago. So stressful, but liberating once it's done. I was watching your videos as I did it to help myself embrace the concept of minimalism. Looking forward to seeing what the next stage of your journey has in store for you both 😊
Honestly, moving to Australia during this pandemic is probably one of the best decision of your life. America would probably not be the same for a while but Australia now is back to normal and some occasional covid cases here and there but its quickly controlled by the cooperation of the people and the government. Its great living here.
You said this before Victoria’s lockdown... normal compared to America, yes... normal in general, not quite... but hopefully soon with vaccine almost upon us.
Even though I struggle really hard to implement minimalism in my everyday life and to have a minimalistic lifestyle I’m still amazed by how easy it is to follow your thoughts on this. You’re such an inspiration and you even pushed me to start my own TH-cam channel. Thank you Matt!😊❤️
I can relate to that... I am living in the U.S. and haven't been home to Europe for over 5 years now, but I have that idea of moving back there in the near future as well and I have been very mindful about the stuff I buy and own for that reason, in addition to other reasons... I will eventually go back home with two suitcases at most. It helps being a minimalist :)
New decisions bring in new experiences. This is *your* new journey. Not many people make these decisions. I am excited for your both. Wishing you the very best.
Love how open and frank you & Nat are in verbalizing and compromising your wants/needs! Above all of the groundbreaking minimalist/being productive stuff I truly admire seeing how you both grow in your relationship 💚
Two years ago my husband and I sold almost everything to travel the world in our mid-40s. It definitely gives a different perspective on life, but I still struggle at times with what Natalie talked about around the 4 minute mark. We’ve had 6 months of down time in Malaysia now, and we are ready to get back on the road. Here’s to safe and fun adventures ahead, guys! 🥂
My husband and I are starting to explore minimalism. There’s been times that I’ve thought about how much I’d love to just walk out the door, get in the car and leave. We are struggling with giving up things, like even books I haven’t read yet, the only important things I’d definitely want to take, are our family pictures, and a weeks worth of cloths, I’m not sure I want to keep my smart phone! Our dogs and our kids, how freeing this could be! I’m excited to follow you and wish you much joy.
Haha yeah she's doing great thanks for asking. I was fully prepared to store all our stuff in a storage locker for her but she came around and decided this was the most practical solution.
Natalie’s point about being 30 and the pressure of feeling like you should be moving forward in your life hit home for me ! Just turned 27 and I’m getting rid of all of mine and my wifes stuff and we’re moving too. Whether it’s family or friends somehow we felt pressure that we should be making different decisions but we decided to do what’s right for out lives, not there’s. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Matt, we did the same turn almost 6 years ago. I, my wife, and two sons sold everything and moved from Brazil to Perth, Western Australia. With nothing but a few bags, not good English (still), no job, no money, we figured it out. So, good on you, mate. Happy days. Enjoy the trip that everything will be ok.
@@ikaputrialfina527 many come as international students. Starting on entry level jobs to be able to pay for the basics. Often the final goal is to get some experience, match work experience and education skills and qualify for either a sponsored or a "permanent resident " visa.
We are moving back to the US next week after a year and a half in Brazil. We are my husband, my adult son with a disability and I. When we came we sold everything except for 6 suitcases we brought with us. Now we are returning with only 2 carry-ons, 3 backpacks and my son's dog. That is going to be all our possessions for some time and we are excited about it. It's good to see we are not the only crazy people!
WOW! You guys are moving to Sydney!!! I also sold everything before moving here, it was hectic, I wanted to have everything I own fit in a small hatchback and... I accomplished that for almost two years! I live in Cronulla now! I hope to be able to see you guys someday and say hi!
Me and my husband have done this 3 times in the last 7 years and it’s always so refreshing. Its stressful at first but then you just feel free almost like the weight of all the things you had around you is lifted off your shoulders. I would recommend it to everyone!
Matt: "So I think under normal circumstances it might upset me to have my clothes in piles all over the ground" Me glancing at my piles of clothes on the ground with no reasonable explanation
I've never used a dresser in my life and I couldn't be happier about that. All that time that I would've spent folding clothes I spent doing something that actually makes me happy like watching porn or doing cocaine. It's just really freeing, you know?
You inspired me right now to do “the marie kondo” method one more time this year and to get rid of SOME of my stuff, just so that I can enter this year more peacefully. Thank you!
Cool👌 i have been tryong to get to a point where i would be an intentionalist. But the biggest part of what is still 'cluttering up' the space in my bathroom are 2 baskets still jammed full with old, expired products i got gifted or bought to try out a million years ago. So for the past i dont know 3 yrs ive been trying to use up all the products i have that i dont like, cause i cant do anything with them otherwise. I cant throw it out that is a huge waste, all tge resources and man hour that went into them. And i cant donate them cause most of them are expires or were used once. I feel like im pretty organized with my shelves in the bedroom but all the other stuff is always just a grinch inhabitat. And it would take a full couple of days to organize my desk and papers again. 🙃 and its exam season so i cant
This is crazy to watch....My partner and I are planning and hoping to move to Australia in the next year or two and it's incredible and emboldening to watch how you are going through this process. I can't wait to see more.
Congratulations on moving to Australia. I love the Country and would live there if I could. You are moving forward in your life. Spending more time with your family and friends is really importation and it's a move forward to value that. Good luck and God Bless!
I'm so happy for you guys!!! Myself and my husband been far away from home for 2 years now and as much we want to buy comfort things as many there are things from the past and it doesn't help to look forward, every moving out/in is terrifying just because of amount of all the stuff. Anyways, my congratulations for moving on and wish you an amazing reunion with your friends and family. Also, very happy for your documentary going on Netflix!! I'm sure it will inspire dosens of people to think about their lives and focus on the current personality rathr than past or future. Looking forward to see!
My Family made a significant (yet smaller move) from Adelaide to the Gold Coast. The stress was real but since we got up here we have never looked back!!! Good Luck to the both of you, Maybe we will see you kicking around soon!
Matt, my wife and I did the exact same thing last month. We sold all our stuff and moved from Hungary to the USA (to VA where my wife is from). We arrived here with 4 suitcases and a 20 month old... it is crazy but yes there is a freedom to it. I totally get the 20% excitement and 80% stress... If we could do it you can do it as well, don’t give up and try to enjoy the process, probably you won’t ever do this again! (Also good to see I wasn’t the only guy letting his wife do all the organization behind the selling process, I don’t know what I would have done without her).
We have been there, done it, got the tshirt. It’s totally not easy, but 100% worth it mate. We are feeling so lucky moving back to Sydney just last month from London. Best of luck with your move!!!

Yes Yes Yes I sooooo resonate with Nat as I am going through the same phase/ questions as well. Now living abroad for a year (Perth!) and despte all my worries, i learned that life will work out just fine. You don't need to follow the regular system to live your life, especially nowadays where we don't work 9 - 5 anymore :) I am so happy for you you are doing this!
OMG! When you said you have some “very, very, very big news to announce,” I thought you were about to say you were ending this channel. 😳 I couldn’t be happier to be so wrong!! Congratulations on your new documentary! I can’t wait to watch it. I wish you both amazing peace, joy, and fulfillment as you embark on this next level of greatness. I look forward to watching everything unfold!!
Pretty awesome and exciting news!! I have moved to a new country twice already and it has been such great experiences, totally recommended. Wish you all the best mate!!
Things I didn't sell: PS4, Coffee Kit, Essential Camera Gear, Frame Photo of The Rock, Robot Vacuum Cleaner (I tried. But Nat's attached).

Whether it’s family or friends somehow we felt pressure that we should be making different decisions but we decided to do what’s right for out lives, not there’s. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Matt, we did the same turn almost 6 years ago. I, my wife, and two sons sold everything and moved from Brazil to Perth, Western Australia. With nothing but a few bags, not good English (still), no job, no money, we figured it out. So, good on you, mate. Happy days. Enjoy the trip that everything will be ok.
If you don't have a job and money how could you survive on aboard ? (Like airplane ticket, for food, etc)
That's very brave. Good luck to you and your family!
@@ikaputrialfina527 many come as international students. Starting on entry level jobs to be able to pay for the basics. Often the final goal is to get some experience, match work experience and education skills and qualify for either a sponsored or a "permanent resident " visa.
@@ikaputrialfina527 Hey, we did have a job before moving but we didn't have one when we arrived here, that was what I meant.
@@carolstromayer4616 Thanks, Carol. It was quite crazy, now we're are doing well. Cheers
"We sold all our stuff"
-Twitter for flip phone
We are moving back to the US next week after a year and a half in Brazil. We are my husband, my adult son with a disability and I. When we came we sold everything except for 6 suitcases we brought with us. Now we are returning with only 2 carry-ons, 3 backpacks and my son's dog. That is going to be all our possessions for some time and we are excited about it. It's good to see we are not the only crazy people!
WOW! You guys are moving to Sydney!!! I also sold everything before moving here, it was hectic, I wanted to have everything I own fit in a small hatchback and... I accomplished that for almost two years! I live in Cronulla now! I hope to be able to see you guys someday and say hi!
This got me so hyped. I love the energy and full commitment to a "crazy" idea. This is really great, big props! Excited to see your adventure!
Me and my husband have done this 3 times in the last 7 years and it’s always so refreshing. Its stressful at first but then you just feel free almost like the weight of all the things you had around you is lifted off your shoulders. I would recommend it to everyone!
I agree 100%!
Am I the only one who let a tear down when Matt said there is another documentary. Like holly shit I'm so proud of this man
Matt: "So I think under normal circumstances it might upset me to have my clothes in piles all over the ground"
Me glancing at my piles of clothes on the ground with no reasonable explanation
I've never used a dresser in my life and I couldn't be happier about that. All that time that I would've spent folding clothes I spent doing something that actually makes me happy like watching porn or doing cocaine. It's just really freeing, you know?
@@wadecarefully this Is beautiful
lol right?!
Good luck - What a great way to look again at what really matters to you! Happy adventures down under.
No one's talking abo the NETFLIX DOCUMENTARY godddd I never saw that coming
You inspired me right now to do “the marie kondo” method one more time this year and to get rid of SOME of my stuff, just so that I can enter this year more peacefully. Thank you!
Cool👌 i have been tryong to get to a point where i would be an intentionalist. But the biggest part of what is still 'cluttering up' the space in my bathroom are 2 baskets still jammed full with old, expired products i got gifted or bought to try out a million years ago. So for the past i dont know 3 yrs ive been trying to use up all the products i have that i dont like, cause i cant do anything with them otherwise. I cant throw it out that is a huge waste, all tge resources and man hour that went into them. And i cant donate them cause most of them are expires or were used once. I feel like im pretty organized with my shelves in the bedroom but all the other stuff is always just a grinch inhabitat. And it would take a full couple of days to organize my desk and papers again. 🙃 and its exam season so i cant
This is crazy to watch....My partner and I are planning and hoping to move to Australia in the next year or two and it's incredible and emboldening to watch how you are going through this process. I can't wait to see more.
Looking forward to hearing matt’s slight Australian twang in his accent after a couple months
Congratulations on moving to Australia. I love the Country and would live there if I could. You are moving forward in your life. Spending more time with your family and friends is really importation and it's a move forward to value that. Good luck and God Bless!
I'm so happy for you guys!!! Myself and my husband been far away from home for 2 years now and as much we want to buy comfort things as many there are things from the past and it doesn't help to look forward, every moving out/in is terrifying just because of amount of all the stuff. Anyways, my congratulations for moving on and wish you an amazing reunion with your friends and family. Also, very happy for your documentary going on Netflix!! I'm sure it will inspire dosens of people to think about their lives and focus on the current personality rathr than past or future. Looking forward to see!
"What is a year or two years in the rest of your lives?"
That was very powerful Natalie 🙌🏻
In two months: We bought all our stuff back (seriously).
Kidding aside, safe travels, Matt!
My Family made a significant (yet smaller move) from Adelaide to the Gold Coast. The stress was real but since we got up here we have never looked back!!! Good Luck to the both of you, Maybe we will see you kicking around soon!
The fact that he made a Netflix Documentary shooks me
Why?
@@pawelzabicki7785 It’s just imprecise how many impressive things he achieved. And for someone to achieve that having a platform in TH-cam
its his second netflix doco.
@@daveao686 I didn’t know that. But is still impressive
I just wanna say to you thank you so much for everything.❤❤
Matt, my wife and I did the exact same thing last month. We sold all our stuff and moved from Hungary to the USA (to VA where my wife is from). We arrived here with 4 suitcases and a 20 month old... it is crazy but yes there is a freedom to it. I totally get the 20% excitement and 80% stress... If we could do it you can do it as well, don’t give up and try to enjoy the process, probably you won’t ever do this again! (Also good to see I wasn’t the only guy letting his wife do all the organization behind the selling process, I don’t know what I would have done without her).
Yep yep, it takes so much time! We sold all our stuff and moved to Europe - but I was hoarding 30 years of emotional clutter. 👀 😬
Before you move out: remake the shot with the "one bowl" from your early hit video
Yes! That was my first video I ever watched of Matt's. It was a good introduction 👍
Love this! I’m also getting rid of all my stuff, quitting my job, selling my car and moving to Australia!
I literally yelled when he said ‘Sydney’. Greeting from Melbourne, Australia ;)
Same!
Natalie and Matt deserves their own Netflix reality show
They’re launching one? Watch till the end?
We have been there, done it, got the tshirt.
It’s totally not easy, but 100% worth it mate.
We are feeling so lucky moving back to Sydney just last month from London.
Best of luck with your move!!!

Do well to let him know you were referred by me...
Waiting for the next upload : " i sold my house and car...seriously, and we are living on streets"
Nat: Hey, I really miss my family, when can we go visit them? 🥺
Matt: Are you willing to become a minimalist? 👀
Yes Yes Yes I sooooo resonate with Nat as I am going through the same phase/ questions as well. Now living abroad for a year (Perth!) and despte all my worries, i learned that life will work out just fine. You don't need to follow the regular system to live your life, especially nowadays where we don't work 9 - 5 anymore :) I am so happy for you you are doing this!
OMG! When you said you have some “very, very, very big news to announce,” I thought you were about to say you were ending this channel. 😳 I couldn’t be happier to be so wrong!! Congratulations on your new documentary! I can’t wait to watch it. I wish you both amazing peace, joy, and fulfillment as you embark on this next level of greatness. I look forward to watching everything unfold!!
This motivates me to be minimalist even with my notes from college.
😂😂😂
Pretty awesome and exciting news!! I have moved to a new country twice already and it has been such great experiences, totally recommended. Wish you all the best mate!!
