I have kind of pivoted my career away from the idea of making as much money as I could be if I moved to San Francisco or whatever, and have been travelling internationally for the most part while doing this. I think that's probably what's kept things fresh enough for me.

I suggest looking at visas for working remotely somewhere you can do something on the side like learning how to surf or whatever sounds interesting and fulfilling to you. It's honestly not even close to as expensive compared to being stuck in some expensive city paying expensive rent for expensive car use.

Tons of volunteer positions abroad too which you can do alongside remote work. One I recently considered was at a jaguar rescue centre in the jungle, and another I was invited for in Japan for some long distance radio transmission project for some group of people who are trying to live on less than a dollar a day (I have ideas) - And that's just a small idea of what's available. A lot of these volunteer positions are looking for someone to fulfill technical work alongside something you may have never done before.
