"I love every page and every word of this book. It's both aspirational and inspiring. It makes me want to get on a plane, but also, create a home that's more beautiful than any vacation! This book is a go to beauty for any design lover / travel bug and is sure to be read more than once, and displayed proudly on coffee tables on all over the world!" – Leanne Ford
For wanderers, drifters, gypsies, roamers, rovers, flâneurs, vagabonds... Otherness has always attracted me. I would rather be a voyeur, an outsider rather than an insider; that’s my default setting.
Nomad at Home dissects the desire to wander from the point of view of the design-led traveller, both professional and amateur. It illustrates the stories of those who left home forever, those who managed to carve out lives in two, three, four countries, and also compulsive vacationers who found a way to bring their fantasy to life at home, just where they started...
...The armchair traveller whose deep research yields bookmarks bursting with design shops from Mallorca to Mexico City, whose exhaustive lists of restaurants and markets, beaches and bars are ready for the next journey, those for whom, in the words of Robert Louis Stevenson, ‘To travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive.’
