nomadic life
Perpetually moving lifestyle
Nomadic life is a way of living characterized by regular movement from place to place rather than permanent settlement.
Traditionally associated with pastoral herders following grazing animals or hunter-gatherers tracking seasonal resources.
The phrase now extends to modern lifestyles without fixed residence: She embraced the nomadic life, working remotely from a different country each month.
Often romanticized as freedom from conventional obligations.
