    Summary: Katie Wright discusses the concept of 'living well' -- exploring how human wellbeing is constructed and how it 'travels' across spatial boundaries. Drawing on empirical research, undertaken with Peruvian migrants based in London and Madrid, she investigates the needs that migrants themselves identify in their attempts to 'live well'. By next examining the perspectives of their Peru-based relatives and close friends, she moves the analysis beyond consideration of how wellbeing is constructed in particular locations to consider inter-subjective impacts of this migration and the global interconnectedness of human wellbeing outcomes.
