Moving Along to Stay
Lifestyle migrations are characterized by the ability of the migrants to choose to rebuild their home elsewhere, whether as a result of a professional dissatisfaction or a desire to build a new life elsewhere. In working families, these lifestyle choices are not necessarily supported by an anticipation of the financial costs associated with the change of location and knowledge of the local job market. In order to continue to earn sufficient income to carry out this project and, for some, not give up a career, one spouse embraces a mobile lifestyle. This article aims at understanding the effects of the entanglement of these lifestyles through an analysis of how the mobile workers live in the different spaces of travel in order to question what is affected by the mobile lifestyle. Focusing on the particular group of lifestyle migrants encountered during the research, the aim is to question how mobility and migration can intertwine or exclude each other and the effects of this lifestyle.
