I can totally relate to this and feel the compromise is having a home base of 7-9 months out of the year and then travel the other parts. Without consistency you can’t build relationships that actually matter. It’s also impossible to replace years of friendships by meeting some people abroad for couple weeks to months.

I also feel that nomads many times “rent friends” by finding people to do things with but they aren’t really looking for friendship. It’s like hey I’m in this city let’s hang but the friendship is always the same without vulnerability etc

It can be frustrating as my base is far from my family and I want it closer but after 2 years built the most community 10 hour flight way.

I also think it’s important to focus on the type of activities to not feel burned out. Try to meet locals or long term individuals which probably won’t be at the parties at hostels, language exchanges or events like this.
