Love the Metallica quotes...yes a vagabond is like a nomad, has no place that is home. Roams everywhere, usually thought of as kind of homeless, dirty, maybe even scary. Wastrel I'm not so sure of, but peoples definitions sound right.

wastrel is a wasteful person.
vagabond is someone that wonders around from place to place with no real home, like a nomad.

Metallica lyrics may help you understand:
Title, By Metallica- Wherever I May Roam
[HETFIELD/ULRICH]
...and the road becomes my bride
I have stripped of all but pride
So in her I do confide
And she keeps me satisfied
Gives me all I need
...and with dust in throat I crave
Only knowledge will I save
To the game you stay a slave
Rover wanderer
Nomad vagabond
Call me what you will
But I'll take my time anywhere
Free to speak my mind anywhere
And I'll redefine anywhere
Anywhere I may roam
Where I lay my head is home
...and the earth becomes my throne
I adapt to the unknown
Under wandering stars I've grown
By myself but not alone
I ask no one
...and my ties are severed clean
The less I have the more I gain
Off the beaten path I reign
Rover wanderer
Nomad vagabond
Call me what you will
But I'll take my time anywhere
I'm free to speak my mind anywhere
And I'll never mind anywhere
Anywhere I may roam
Where I lay my head is home
But i'll take my time anywhere
Free to speak my mind
And I'll take my find anywhere
Anywhere I may roam
Where I lay my head is home
Carved upon my stone
My body lie, but still I roam
Wherever I may roam
