Nomadic refers to anything that involves moving around a lot. It is used to describe people or communities who have no fixed habitation and regularly move from place to place as a way of obtaining food, finding pasture for livestock, or otherwise making a living. Nomadic lifestyles can be seen in different groups such as hunter-gatherers, pastoral nomads, tinkers, and trader nomads. Here are some key points about nomadic:
- Nomadic people have no settled home and move from place to place.
- Nomadic lifestyles are adapted to infertile regions such as steppe, tundra, or ice and sand, where mobility is the most efficient strategy for exploiting scarce resources.
- Nomadic communities include hunter-gatherers, pastoral nomads, tinkers, and trader nomads.
- Nomadic lifestyles can be seen in people who work for the state department and travel from foreign country to foreign country in four-year postings.
