Free as a Global Nomad

An Old Tradition with a Modern Twist

Are you ready for a ride which redefines such familiar notions as home, nationality, freedom, and travel?

Global nomads challenge some of the values we traditionally cherish in the west such as the security afforded by a predefined life and continuous economic growth. They are recreating an ancient tradition with a modern twist. Like the Great Masters, they too have found that a simple life is a better life. Their modern ideas draw from the everyday life and dreams of past explorers, philosophers, and vagrants. Some notable pioneers discussed in the book include Alexander the Great, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and George Orwell.
