Anyone else get burnt out / depressed over being perpetually unsettled? Granted, yes, I know this lifestyle is a choice; I've been trying to build home bases but I'm having a hard time finding places to settle between visa + housing logistics and finding the right communities.

I lived full-time in Bali for 3 years (cliche I know) but things there have really changed since the borders opened after covid. I've been hopping around since last year trying out new places to settle down and I'm just feeling down about it all... But I also don't want to move back to my home country either. I don't feel like I fit in there anymore at all but then again I also don't fit in the traditional life of any other country that I'm not from hahaaha AHH

Anyone feel me? I don't really know where to go anymore and it really has me in a funk. I realize this is a massive first world problem and yes I am so very grateful for my freedom, plz be kind

I feel the same. As getting visas to stay long term seems to difficult and I can't afford to go back to my home country, the way I've dealt with it is by looking for places with long visas, like India and Mexico and staying 6 months in each, or making a circle of familar places and alternating between them returning at the se time each year and seeing friends and familiar faces is great

that's exactly what i've done since leaving my last home base. at least the social familiarity is comforting even if you have to move all the time
