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

I think it's more about feeling de-located regardless! Thankfully I've got some great friends spread around the globe but of course I always love meeting new people too. That's a good idea to consider, thanks

That's a good plan! I'm sort of doing that now until I find somewhere that I know I'll want to stay longer. I'll take half of a home base rather than none haha

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

Digital Nomad Visa in Turkey: where is the catch? in c/digitalnomad@expats.zone

it used to be easy and now it's not – most people have gotten rejected in the last year. you can apply for a student visa though and that's pretty much guaranteed

(i've lived there the past two summers - falls)
