Author here! I don't really see it as relocation, since what I desire is a job that allows me to go back and forth between Pakistan, Yemen, and whatever country that has an institution which gives me patronage. I do have very firm attachments to my friends, though, but I've lost my pretenses about "home." Though nearly all of that has to do with my PTSD rather than moving around-- I have family members who would say that they want stability because they never had it before, and others who say that they need to feel more in flux, which could just mean living in a city.
