When we find change a daunting prospect, it can stop us from living a life of fulfilment and freedom. My past experiences, particularly those where I’ve faced adversity, have been catalysts for change in my life. Without these experiences, I would have never come to enjoy the physical freedom I experience living on my boat.
After five years of hitchhiking around the world, Adam Lind craved a place to set down roots, but one that would also feed his thirst for adventure. He decided to make Britain’s canal network his home, settling on a narrowboat with his wife, Lauren and dog, Shanti.
Living on the waterways transformed Adam's life and mindset, teaching him invaluable wisdom on humanity, connection and what it means to be free. In this uplifting and inspiring book, he reflects on these lessons, from finding inner freedom and embracing discipline, to the gift of adversity and the importance of community, and how we can all embrace these in our everyday lives.
Adam also shares the incredible stories of his 'Humans of the Waterways'; individuals, couples and families who all left a life on land for the nomadic world of the waterways and how they saw their perspective on life change.
Fascinating and profound, Floating Home teaches us how freedom, fulfilment and joy can be found wherever we find ourselves.
