I am a "nomad", but I usually stay in one country for an entire year. The reason why most people stay 3-6 months is because of visa restrictions, which forces people to do country hopping. I don't have visa restrictions between Argentina and EU, as I'm a resident of both, and so like to stay in one place for a minimum of a year usually, which is long enough to be comfortable, but short enough not to get bored.

I definitely don't imagine doing this forever though. It's stressful, and disorienting (because social circle changes so often, how things work changes often). I'm 29, and already feel like I could really use a permanent home.

If you read artist’s bios, it’ll often say they’re “based in” a certain place. I’ve always found that a bit pretentious, as if artists don’t simply live somewhere, they need a fancier word. But I’m starting to understand it better, I think they mean having a place that you keep gravitating back to, even if your work and live might take you all over the place. And where you can keep your stuff :)

Good luck with finding your model! These last years must have been an enriching experience whichever way.

This resonates with me. Like GP I find going full nomad too lonely, so I just started experimenting with spending maybe 60% of the year in my “base”, and taking 2-4 week trips here and there. So far so good!
