I did the digital nomad thing for all of 2012, 2013, and 2015. It was a blast and I loved the people I met and the places I got to see. I stayed in one place for 12 months, and otherwise moved every 2 to 3 months once a visa ran out.
The thing you miss is friends and community when you are moving that much. But, you save a ton of money, especially if you stay outside the USA for 330 days out of 365. The tax savings basically paid for all my travel and housing :). For 2015 my wife and I were traveling, it is def hard on a spouse to be isolated esp when she wasn't doing online stuff. But still fun :)
I just bought a house and I am settling down, and it feels good to have an office. I hope to still do 1 to 3 months a year living somewhere else.
