Where’s home?
Where are you from?
These sound like simple questions, but for millions of people around the world today, they have no simple answer. One in ten Canadian, British and Swiss citizens live abroad, as do 7 million Americans and 20 percent of New Zealanders. Who are all these people, and why are they leaving their home countries?
Featured in Monocle magazine, Roaming is a radical new way of living that defies age-old categories like "home" and "abroad" or "expats" and "immigrants". Roamers are the great "other" living around the planet today, moving from country to country with an ease and speed that was unheard of thirty years ago. But this new phenomenon raises questions for us all:
How can societies cope with this constant flux?
Can you really be at home abroad?
What are the pleasures and pitfalls of living as a roamer?
In this clever and timely anatomy of roaming, CM Patha crisscrosses the globe to cover these questions and ends up uncovering many, many more.
Described by easyJet's inflight Traveller magazine as "this generation's manifesto," Roaming is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand this fast-growing lifestyle and what it means for governments, societies, and roamers themselves.
