Hi, I'm Timo – the creator of Simplify Yourself
I believe life is best experienced with intention and adventure! Whether I’m exploring remote corners of the Americas or helping people live more mindfully, I’m all about discovering what truly matters and sharing those insights with others.
“Live a minimalist life, improve the lives of others and do more of what you love!”Our Mission
At Simplify Yourself, I believe that life should be intentional, not overwhelming. Since launching this blog in August 2015, my goal has been to share practical insights, minimalism principles, and travel experiences to help you live with more clarity, purpose, and freedom.
My Journey
The Beginning
Launched "simplify yourself" blog in 2015 and started exploring minimalism principles and sharing insights about intentional living.
Epic Americas Adventure
Embarked on a life-changing 13-month journey through 11 countries across North and South America. From New York to Patagonia, this adventure deepened my minimalism philosophy and inspired countless blog posts. During this time, I learned Portuguese while traveling through Brazil and other Portuguese-speaking regions. Created travel blog "hinreisend" (later lost to hacking).
Integration & Growth
Returned to Berlin and integrated travel experiences with established minimalism practice. Continued developing content that bridges adventure, technology, and intentional living.
Community Building
Expanded the blog's reach, experimented with technology (3D printing, brain stimulation), and built a community around mindful living. Established "Simplify Yourself" as a trusted voice in the minimalism space over 7+ years of continuous growth.
