I went full nomad and it almost broke me

Not to be rude, but moving once a month seems crazy to me.

I thought that most countries give a six month visa. I would think that it would take me a couple of weeks to get settled: finding a place to stay, getting used to foraging for food and getting used to new types of food. Arranging good Internet connectivity. Also, moving every month would be expensive.

EDIT: also, staying places 4-6 months would provide more opportunity for longer lasting friendships.

Agreed. Most nomad forums are full of visa extending tips.

The greatest benefit to being a nomad is moving when you want, and where you want.

There are almost no countries, that allow tourist visa for six months. Work visa usually requires a local sponsor. World is not adapted to idea of nomadism.

The Philippines allows you to extend up to a year (longer if you jump through some hoops). That's multiple extensions, but you don't have to leave the country until you approach the 1 year point. After that, you can come right back.
