Anyone who lives nomadically and has a passion for writing might find this interesting. http://www.nytimes.com/library/books/082800aciman-writing.html

http://www.gonomad.com is aimed at a higher-budget non-sustainable crowd, but it has some fantastic links. Some of my favorites: - David Byrne (lead singer of The Talking Heads, "Burning Down the House" among other songs) talks about cycling in various cities all over the world. - Tips for living abroad with kids - Dead Goat Polo: National Sport of Kyrgyzstan http://www.gonomad.com/features/0911/kyrgyzstan-goat-polo.html !!

Just as farms, jam- or soap-manufacturers, tea houses, or bike shops can be turned into nomad bases, a hostel seems like a fantastic choice.
