A nomadic lifestyle
We hear from four people for whom travel is an important part of their lives.
A Dougie
I come from a long
line of travelling
showmen, and for
most of the year
we tour the country
from fairground to
fairground. Its been in
my family's blood for
nearly two centuries.
There was someone
on my father's side
who used to train
bears, and another
relative who lost a
finger working as the
assistant to a
knife-thrower.
I live in a caravan, with my wife, Janie, and the two
kids, and because conditions are a bit cramped, we
get on each other's nerves quite a lot. Everyone works
really hard; we have to set up all our heavy equipment
- usually in the middle of the night - then we're on
our feet for hours on end every day for the duration
of the fair. And after about a week or so we take it
all down again, and move on to the next place. It's a
tough life, but I don't see myself doing anything else -
there's nothing else I'd rather do.
B Lucy
I've taught English in nine countries so far,
including Spain, New Zealand, Jordan and now,
Vietnam. Being prepared to move around means I
never have problems finding work and I think it's
helped me become a better teacher, too - I've learnt to
adapt to different cultures and respond to the specific
problems each type of learner has with the language.
The downside is that, although I've met and
worked with a lot of different people, it's hard to get
to know them really well, because I'm never in one
country for more than a couple of years. We can,
and do, keep in touch online, but that becomes fairly
superficial after a while and I often lose contact with
people.
C Phillip
As the financial director of a multinational -
company based in France, I spend my life travelling
and I'm rarely in one place for more than six months.
Home is England at the moment, but last month it was
Milan and before that, Atlanta. I live in hotels or rent
for short periods, so the sensation is one of being on
permanent holiday.
Living nomadically has shaped my attitude to
possessions; I do my best to keep them to the bare
minimum and I don't get attached to things. If I
have to buy something for a house, like furniture or
