Meet the Founder

Hey there! I'm Chané Travis, the creator behind The Solo Minimalist. A quiet but intentional voice in a world that often confuses minimalism with lack. As the only minimalist among my family and friends, I’ve learned to lead by example—showing that this lifestyle isn’t about restriction, but about clarity, freedom, and connection.

I believe minimalism doesn't have to be cold, sterile, or extreme—it can be warm, personal, and deeply human.

The Solo Minimalist is more than a name—it's a reminder that one person can inspire change, simply by living with intention.

Five years ago, I stumbled upon a TED Talk that introduced me to the concept of minimalism—and it shifted something in me. As the only minimalist among my family and friends, I was curious enough to explore further and brave enough to follow the path. What began as curiosity quickly became a lifestyle rooted in clarity, intention, and freedom. My journey continues to evolve, and I now share what I’ve learned to inspire others to live more with less.

TSM's mission is to educate and inspire individuals to unlock the transformative potential of minimalism. I share my personal experiences and insights of experts, aiming to guide others toward a life of intentional living that values purpose, clarity, and mindful choices. When approached with openness and practicality, I seek to demonstrate how minimalism can bring profound change to individuals and communities alike. I envision a world where simplicity fosters deeper connections and intentional living becomes the norm.
