ABSTRACT

This chapter illustrates how the mobilities paradigm and lifestyle intersect. It explores the concept of lifestyle in relation to mobility, before turning to an examination of how travel, leisure and migration blur. The chapter presents analysis forms the basis for a conceptualization of lifestyle mobilities in comparison to temporary mobility and permanent migration. It focuses on lifestyle mobilities that are meaningfully performed as embodied everyday practice, including the intrinsic uncertainties and complexities within these movements and moorings. The chapter highlights spatial and temporal features of mobile lifestyles and demonstrates how these mobility choices can contribute to, and are often representative of, continuing processes of de-differentiation in contemporary social life. It argues that lifestyle migration neglects a broad range of mobilities or flows associated with voluntary relocation and advocates a broader-based theoretical understanding that leads to McIntyre's framework of lifestyle mobilities.
