I am going to start the nomad posts with this book that does a pretty good job of giving the itch to travel and uproot yourself in the process. A grownups guide to running away from home is a book mostly targeted toward people in their 50s that are thinking of moving overseas to France or some other European country.
I had heard of this book on TV or something and picked it up hoping that it would be the holy grail to a more nomadic lifestyle so I was a little disappointed in it from that standpoint as I thought it would deal a little more with the nomadic concept that I was looking for.
The really great thing about A Grownups Guide To Running Away From Home is the way that it talks about how to plan your leaving and decide what is important. The book deals with generic items such as passports, shots and some really good items like health care, finances, what to leave and how to structure your banking.
This book also deals with a bunch of stuff that is hard to find in books otherwise, there are chapters on how to cut costs overall, working overseas, transportation away and how to find deals, and how to make the most of your time away
Two of the end chapters of A Grownups Guide To Running Away From Home deal with a couple of really good topics, there is a chapter that is a moving away checklist and another chapter on transitioning back to North America if you decide you do not want to be living abroad.
