Abstract: In the present volume, the second in a series of explorative travel reports about the island of Mallorca, the authors discuss the changes affecting their own researcher personae while pursuing immersive field work where (mostly) German tourists encounter those involved in the precarious subsistenceeconomy that scaffolds the touristic universe: beach vendors, sex workers, bathroom atten- dants. These non-tourists are seekers from the Global South, variously from Nigeria, Senegal, or Mali, but also Indian and Chinese, and they are seeking refuge in the European touristscape in pursuit of minimal income, security, and escape from precarity
