Nomad at Home

- Blurb -

Nomad at Home dissects the desire to wander the globe from the point of view of the design-led traveller, those for whom ' it is a better thing to travel hopefully than to arrive' . ' There are few countries I have visited without consulting the local real estate agent' s window or poring over the free property magazine. Whether in Puglia or Provence, I am already imagining my new life there; the basket I' ll carry to market, the dress I' ll change into for an apero, the flea market at which I will buy my furniture, the secret cove where I' ll swim. ' In Nomad at Home, compulsive wanderer Hilary Robertson showcases 12 unique locations and tells the stories of different nomadic tribes: the Adopters, who have left home forever and made a life elsewhere, as well as the Escapists, always on the move, with a base in two, three or maybe even four locations. Then there are the Serial Wanderers, who simply absorb the DNA of any given destination and bring it all back home; creating Provence in Pittsburgh with ingredients gathered on their travels. There are more ways than one of satisfying a wandering eye. As well as offering inspiration from homes all over the globe, Nomad at Home also contains champion shopper Hilary' s nomadic sourcebook, which allows readers to hit the ground shopping in destinations all over the world, with an address book for every country covered, every story told.
