I've been working remotely for some time already. Currently, I'm the only remote worker at my client's company as I'm living in another country. Kind of nomad style, but I'm living with my wife's family.
As I'm more of a consultant than an employee, I see it a bit differently. What do I mean? Well, I'm trying to turn my side projects into something profitable and hopefully one day, into a company, where I'd be able to hire other people. I choose to work remotely to save time and to skip commute and so on to be as productive as possible not only for my client but also for the time when I'm building (with my SO) products.
I think, as far as it's your choice and you know what are the possible problems on the way, you should be fine. Treat yourself better. Go outside more (not only shopping), visit some parks. Do some hobbies and spend more time with your family.
So far I haven't known anyone to be forced into remote work. If you start working remotely, be serious about it, otherwise you're gonna face issues.
One more thing, don't listen to people that nomadlife/travelinglife/remotework is some silver bullet to whatever problems you have. It's not. It's hard and it's not pretty.
