Hello, my name is Danielle and I'm from the US. Today I'll answer the question, are you a pack rat or a minimalist? 

I would definitely consider myself to be a minimalist, now. Though in the past I was definitely a pack rat. Now I think it's really important to have clear space and to have very few possessions. For example, I think I only own 25 articles of clothing, and in the past I used to own over 400, so I have made a lot of changes from being a pack rat to now being a minimalist. 

But I think it's very nice to be a minimalist, and I just want to get rid of more things so that more of my house is clear and clean. That makes me feel really good.

In the past it was not like this, though. I very much used to be a pack rat. Whenever I moved, I would have to take so many things with me, and that's probably the main reason I became a minimalist is because I got frustrated by having to take so many things with me everywhere that I went. So, that's my answer.
