Excited to see where your adventures continue.... I believe that people who create connections with others will always have open doors and open arms to visit, even stay for a length of time. I think your biggest strength is that you have a proven history of being able to reinvent yourself and that is what will give you an advantage as you grow older. You are always open to new ideas and to trying things even if they don't succeed. This will get you farther in life than others who haven't learned that skill. Keep on living your version of life!

There is YouTube channel that you might appreciate - Jay Wanders Out. Jay is a 50ish year old former Marine and IT worker that cashed out his his 401k and sold his house a few years ago, and now lives out of his Toyota 4Runner, exploring the north in the summer and south in the winter, camping for free most nights and hitting a paid campground once or twice a week to shower, etc.

Living in your car while crashing with family once in a while used to be the very definition of bum. Now we call them content creators and many of them are raking in 6 figure incomes traveling FT while producing weekly videos. From what I can tell most of them are still putting in 30-40 hours a week as video editing is slow work - but I guess doing it from the most scenic places in the country/world makes it worth it.
