I'm in a very similar situation.

I can work from basically anywhere. For the first year of fully remote work, I moved all over my country. During the second year, I went abroad and spend 3ish months in several nearby countries.

Now I'm entering year 3 and I'm miserable. Having freedom to live anywhere makes the place I choose feel like it's "wrong" in some way.

Same. It was glorious for 2 years. Now going on ~5 years remote it's lonely and isolating. I can go anywhere... but where?
