Tips - 1. Travel as light as possible. You need much less than you will initially think. 2. If you have to work, then I would suggest that renting an apartment is better, hostel's etc are too noisy and transient. 3. Don't expect the internet to work anywhere you go, even if you are told that it will work ;-) Your best bet is a 4G SIM, Pocket 4G<->Wifi Router (or your mobile phone), and an unlimited data package. Or preferably, two SIMs from competing networks, as some places have much better coverage than others. 4. I tended to stay for a minimum of 4 weeks (occasionally 2) in the same place. Otherwise, the constant travelling and planning takes a lot of time out of your work days.
