The Art of Spending Time | TEDx

Money comes and goes but TIME is non-refundable. Michael challenges us to consider if we are spending ours how we want and to start using time as our primary currency. He now travels the world full-time living out of a backpack aiming to inspire people to live more intentionally! Michael is an award-winning designer, a traveller and speaker. He’s spent the last decade in the industry as a motion designer and animator working with major brands like Nike and Sony as well as start-ups and social enterprises.

Two years ago, in a quest to redesign his life he decided to ditch the hustle culture, embraced minimalism and has been travelling full time, living out of a 30L backpack ever since. His goal is to help people re-evaluate the way they spend their time and resources and to start living more intentionally. His next project is about creating sustainable and affordable housing and a co-living community from shipping containers, addressing to people who are finding the cost or availability of suitable housing preventative for the life they want to live.
