Swedish Death Cleaning, also known as "döstädning" in Swedish, is a cultural concept and decluttering. This unique approach to decluttering and organizing one's possessions is rooted in the idea of preparing for the end of life and making it easier for your loved ones to deal with your belongings after you pass away. It encourages individuals, typically older adults, to take proactive steps to simplify their lives by decluttering and organizing their possessions. It's not just about decluttering, but what you have and what will remain after you pass.

The motivation to do Swedish Death Cleaning is driven by a sense of responsibility and consideration for your children and other loved ones. By doing decluttering and downsizing while you are still capable reduces the burden on your loved ones at a later time. This can be the most loving act you could do for them.

Swedish Death Cleaning involves systematically going through all your possessions and deciding what to keep, what to give away, what to sell, and what to discard. The focus is on keeping only the precious few items you cherish the most. It recognizes the importance of sentimental items but encourages you to curate and preserve only the most meaningful ones, rather than hoarding everything. This can help you cherish the memories while decluttering the rest.

Swedish Death Cleaning doesn't strictly adhere to everything about minimalism, but it does share some principles, such as valuing experiences over material possessions. This process also aligns with the idea of reducing waste and being mindful of the environment.

Swedish Death Cleaning is not a onetime event but rather an ongoing process. As your life circumstances change, you will need to revisit and declutter on a periodic basis.

In summary, Swedish Death Cleaning is a practical and philosophical approach to decluttering and organizing your life. It is driven by a sense of responsibility and consideration for your children. It encourages people to thoughtfully curate their stuff and create a simpler living space while also helping clarify endoflife wishes.

▶ We started our channel to inspire and share our world travel lifestyle, adventures, and optimistic outlook on life with others. After completing a twoyear journey in our Airstream to see all 50 states and 51 National Parks, we left to travel abroad. We have downsized our possessions and sold our home so that we can wander about with only the things in our backpacks.

We love living on the road, traveling each week to a new location. We plan to travel extensively to every part of the world. Ours is not a slow travel lifestyle but rather a vagabondish one. The goal is not to check a country off a list, but to experience it by meeting new people, seeing how others live, and making new friends. We believe in laughing, loving, and living our lives to the fullest.

We are working hard to build a beautiful website where you can get travel information about the places we have been. In addition, we post blog articles to help you travel better. Our channel is a way of augmenting that effort, so sometimes we post videos about how to travel or a vlog showing our lives on the road as we do an activity or an adventure. We also post Shorts, so check those out, too. We hope to entertain you, but most importantly, we want to inspire you and give you the confidence to plan your own adventure around the world.
