My name is Sean Fowlds and I am the founder and editor of Living Large With Less. I am a born-and-bred Virginian from the beautiful Shenandoah Valley and am happily married to Linda, a native Floridian and my best friend for more than three decades.

Several years ago we traded our dream house and most of our stuff for the ability to live and move more freely. As a result, we have since lived in a town designed by Walt Disney (Celebration); on an island thirty miles out to sea (Nantucket); and at the lighthouse featured in Forrest Gump (Marshall Point).

In our experience the upside of downsizing is a simpler life with less stuff so we highly recommend it. And coupled with my photography at Port Photo, I enjoy sharing the lessons from our story and other valuable insights about the journey of living large with less! 

We have been featured in various media outlets, including an appearance on Maine Public Radio’s “Maine Calling” program here. I am writing a book about our experience tentatively titled Traveling Light: The Journey to a Simpler Life and I welcome you to subscribe to my blog for updated content.
