Thank you for inspiring myself and others to make our own recipe. Stumbling through my Mid-twenties and knowing that my way is just fine has been invaluable to my development as a functional human being. Thanks gents, keep up the good work

Oh hey, totally get it. (My loss that I didn't clue into you guys earlier. ) I was actually just reacting to the idea that you guys propose with Colin in this particular episode about maybe doing a joint tour in someplace like Europe and just announcing events a few days in advance for whomever is around. My peabrain immediately jumped to how most people think when they come to Europe (ok will just say it... most Americans. Ok... my family) just assume that since it is geographically smaller versus the US or Asia, that it is flexible and nimble. While there is some truth to that, there is also considerable differences that maps, or even traveling for a few months, don't give away. Anyway, it's more about me facing two choices 1. appreciating to catch a talk if you are around this part of the world or 2. the painful shin kick I'd probably give myself if I found out you'd been through, gave an awesome talk and I missed it because I wasn't paying attention. ;) Thanks for the tips on the newsletter. Now a less chances of number 2 happening.

We're still a little road-weary after finishing up an 18-month international tour last March, Amanda, but keep an eye on our Tour page (https://theminimalists.com/tour/) and on our newsletter (http://theminimalists.email/)—when we announce new dates, we announce them there first.

Hey guys, just catching up on some past episodes. Would be totally down with you guys doing a tour in Europe- just treat it like you would in the US though with a bit of schedule, if you can. While travel in Europe is super easy, some of us have to work for our expat visas!
