This thread might not be representative of the actual number.
I make ~$11k USD but I have mostly met nomads with much lower income. Probably dependent on the place. I usually base myself in Bali and most nomads I have met are ‘influencers’, ‘entrepreneurs’, ‘drop shippers’, etc. LatAm might have more US professionals and they might be making over ~$10k.
I started last year and my trip back home is getting less and less frequent. I am adapting more to this life. I go back to place I have already visited and slowly expand. I think my method is fairly sustainable for doing this very long term. You don’t need to do 1 single 1 year trip imo.
Meet and date people. Locals if possible. Be a good person, date people you can form some sort of deep connections with and leverage their social capital. You can re-date them on your next visits.

Another thing is have a goal in all of your trips and have a hobby. The reason I am going back to Bali a lot is that I have taken up surfing. I met few cool people surfing in Mexico and learned some Spanish.
