I started last year and my trip back home is getting less and less frequent. I am adapting more to this life. I go back to place I have already visited and slowly expand. I think my method is fairly sustainable for doing this very long term. You don’t need to do 1 single 1 year trip imo.

Meet and date people. Locals if possible. Be a good person, date people you can form some sort of deep connections with and leverage their social capital. You can re-date them on your next visits.

Another thing is have a goal in all of your trips and have a hobby. The reason I am going back to Bali a lot is that I have taken up surfing. I met few cool people surfing in Mexico and learned some Spanish.

Hi, did you stay there solo? How difficult is it to meet local people and form connections there?

This thread might not be representative of the actual number.

I make ~$11k USD but I have mostly met nomads with much lower income. Probably dependent on the place. I usually base myself in Bali and most nomads I have met are ‘influencers’, ‘entrepreneurs’, ‘drop shippers’, etc. LatAm might have more US professionals and they might be making over ~$10k.
