I had a similar experience. Started nomading in 2016. The idea of being able to hop from one place to the next sounded amazing. In many ways it was, but it got old quickly. I think the hedonic treadmill accounts for a lot of this. I became completely numb to the experience.
I thought it would improve with "slowmad"-ing...instead of spending weeks places, I'd stay for months. But even then, everything still felt super transient. It's hard to develop relationships when you know that you or your friends will be leaving soon.
With COVID I was forced to settle down and even though the circumstances are horrible, there's solitude in not having to "know" where I'm going next.
