It's all relative. 35 is older than many people, but also younger than many people.
You have way more money than most people. If you move to a place that is not expensive, and if you invest the money well, you may never need to work again. That means, you get extra 8 hours a day (more if you include the commute). That means, if you compare yourself with an average 20 years old, both of you will have the same amount of free time between now and the moment each of you becomes 50.
For most people, the greatest professional achievement will be to pay their bills. Congratulations, you have already completed this game!
So now I would suggest focusing full-time on your personal and social life. Find a hobby that is neither about making money nor about consuming things (that includes travelling). With that hobby, you may find a community. With the community, you may find relationships. (Much better way of meeting people than "festivals, bars and clubs". Bars are for drunks; drunks are sad.)
People in their 20s have the advantage that the school provides a social environment for them. Past that age, you need to actively seek the company of people; it will not happen on its own. There are probably many activities happening all around you; you just don't pay attention to them. If you see something happening in your neighborhood, go there. You may find recommendations on Facebook. Try to visit some social activity at least three times a week. Especially things that you never tried before. Find a list of local non-profit organizations, call them and ask if you can help them in any way; that way you can enter lots of new bubbles.
> I feel like I've seen most things before, and it's all just different iterations of the same.
There is a possibility that although you have experienced many countries and jobs, you were doing similar things everywhere. Specifically, making money and partying; because I don't see much else mentioned in your text. What is conspicuously missing there: hobbies (other than technology), values, spirituality, prosocial behavior, art... You might want to try experimenting a bit with these and see what happens.
> I feel like my time for everything is running out.
This was always the case, you just noticed it now. Hopefully, you still have lots of time left.
