I guess is would be OK up to mid 30s age, but after then I think that many would get jaded by that lifestyle, and perhaps start to think about putting down roots and developing a good social circle or group of friends.
Just to be clear, location independent means you can work from anywhere you choose.
That doesn't mean you have to be a nomad, moving every month.
You can do a yearly rotation of four favorite cities, staying a season in each.
You can live 11 months a year in a house that you own, and hit the road one month a year.
You can design the lifestyle you want. If loneliness is a problem, the response is simply to fine tune your lifestyle. Even if you find yourself moving around less, you're still location independent.
Spot on. I'm more inclined to the 11 month model myself. If you're spending less than 9 months in a city, it's very difficult to build a social network. People will see you as being too transient to bother getting to know you.
I don't know how these digital nomads jump around every 2-3 months. I'd find it too destabilizing for my business, to say nothing of the loneliness.
Being part of a community is criminally underrated imho.
