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 have a two year visa. You can get decent places starting at 2k a month and by that I mean full service recent building . You can get a 1 bedroom at high end for 4/5 k US a month . Search places like Etihad Towers in Abu Dhabi, Nations Towers or World Trade Center. All nice places with reasonable rent. If you want the beach check out Sadiat Island for Hid or Mamsha. Lots of places in AD are water front . Small connected islands . Reem Island has lots of newer construction, I prefer the other places. All of these locations are 10 Min drive from each other.
