  Welcome to Castles in the Air, where we're changing the way we think and view the world through minimalism.
  
  My name is Nina Yau, author of The Radical Minimalist. I'm a minimalist freedom fighter and a radical minimalist.

  If this sounds interesting, stay a while and check the blog out by starting here. You can also get to know me.
  
  Follow me on as I make my way across the world, beginning January 2011 in Taipei, Taiwan, and spanning other Asian countries and more. This is going to be one amazing journey. Thanks for joining me.
