Krotov's nomad bases

Submitted by CRCulver on 20 February, 2010 - 14:14

The Russian hitchhiking guru and travel guide writer Anton Krotov has been implementing short-term nomad bases in various places for some time now. Over the years he has developed a systematic way of planning and maintaining these bases, which he recently announced on his LiveJournal. In order to bring these developments in the Russian-language nomadic community to the wider world, I've translated Krotov's long post.

How flexible is nomadbase ideologically?

Submitted by CRCulver on 29 December, 2009 - 10:32

Recently I spoke with a person who wondered if the Nomadbase project would ultimately be too tied to the values of Casa Robino to appeal much to creators of other nomadic spaces. I thought this concern was worth a forum post.

Will a focus on environmental concerns be a requirement to offer one's space? I enjoy making my own home into a base for nomadic travelers, but I honestly don't share the kind of "change the world" and "sustainability" outlook of Casa Robino. Vegetarianism, for example, is a choice I support mainly because it saves everyone money, not because of any ethical or environmental principles. Ditto for dumpster diving.

4.00 pm: Open Space A

How does a culture of nomadism contribute to broader society?

- Daryl: It breaks down barriers that communities establish and the sense of Western individualism for a culture of sharism.

- James: Nomad movement could be considered part of socialism.

- Matt: Nomadism can spread through word of mouth; person to person; electronic capabilities.
