You could use an AirPort Extreme with a USB drive and then use Back To My Mac. My Extreme Drive appears anywhere I go.

Best $20 investment I ever made. 32GB SanDisk USB. It's so tiny that I can barely even see it on my 2012 MBA.
Mind telling us where you got that for $20? Everything I see is at least $50...

I made these myself. (I have a few extra too).
It basically takes any Micro SD chip and it fits in the slot without sticking out. I have 64GB micro SD in mine.
Nope, they don't appear as professional as above. But they work.
Please Post Pix!
I solved this problem by having my own home server.
I constructed server from miniATX board and ATOM proc and 1TB space for about 200$ with parts from ebay.
Installed:
1. Ubuntu server
2. SAMBA (can be configured to be accessed from outside local network) cool thing is that I can access it from windows computer too.
3. Subsonic - this is awesome piece of software, it basically streams video and music files from a cool web interface. I can be anywhere in the world, and simply stream videos and music from my server to any computer not just MBA.
I also installed apache/mysql/php stack for my web development needs.
oh and I forgot, ubuntu can be configured with AFP also, and it can act as timecapsule so my way is 200$ spent well

I really wish I could get this to work, i've been tearing my hair out on numerous occasions to the point I want to throw my Mac out of the window and having to stop in order to save my own sanity.
I follow the instructions to the word to try and enable my MBA to see my USB hard drive attached to my AEB but to no avail.
I set up port forwarding on my AEB using the private ISP to the right ports etc, then I try and connect on my MBA using my external IP and port number i've used and it just times out.
Weirdly I have BTTM working so I can access my iMac over the internet from my MBA and I can also access my AEB USB hard drive over my home wireless network from both computers, but the last piece of the puzzle is beating me at the moment.
I can't help thinking its something to do with how i've set my AEB and router up perhaps.
I have just about given up now...
This is exactly what I have done as well. Only, I have also set up SSH and use SSHFS to connect outside my network (securely, unlike the OP). It also does a great job of running Plex to my Apple TV, and a host of other neat things.
