After the devastating loss of his father, Adam Lind made a choice to pursue a life less ordinary: hitchhiking across twenty-six countries over the course of five years, meeting incredible people along the way, and experiencing life-changing moments before taking to the waterways of the UK on his beloved (and temperamental) narrowboat, The Raman Rose.
In Floating Home Adam explores, with compassion and humour, what his adventures have taught him from the importance of human connection and community, how to gain control of the mind and achieve peace, and to how compassion can transform us to gently guide readers to think outside of the norm and begin to build a life on their own terms.
