About me ...
Hi! I’m Elias, the voice behind the blog and a 25-year-old enthusiast living amidst the charming streets of Ghent, Belgium. My passion for minimalism isn’t just a lifestyle choice, it’s a journey that has transformed the way I perceive and interact with my surroundings.
Why Tinyretraits, you might wonder? Well, the name is inspired by the French word retraits, which means “withdrawals” or “retreats.” To me, it perfectly captures the essence of stepping back, simplifying, and finding peace in smaller spaces. It’s a little twist on the familiar word “retreats” — because minimalism itself is all about seeing things from a fresh perspective.
My love for compact living is deeply rooted inhat a smaller space can lead to a more significant sense of peace and fulfillment. Living in the heart of Ghent, a city known for its rich history and vibrant culture, has only strengthened my resolve to find joy in simplicity.
Tinyretraits is more tha just a blog to me; it’s a platform where I share my knowledge, experiences, and discoveries on the beauty of minimalism and compact living. I believe that big dreams can flourish even in the tiniest of spaces, and I’m excited to take you on a journey of exploration and inspiration.
Thank you for being part of this journey. Let’s embrace the beauty of minimalism and discover how even the tiniest of spaces can be a canvas for big dreams.
With simplicity and warmth,
Elias
