As I was a teacher, this is what I did before I moved countries. I'd spend a month or two of the summer holiday in a different country doing language courses (I love languages and linguistics as well). It was a great way to have structure in a place as well as stuff to do, plus I've found they often arranged guided tours cheaply, so it always worked out well.
Might consider doing that again, but I'd likely need some extra income streams, which could be doable.
-Move to the nearest city that will support your interests and allow for weekly visits. Make Saturday or Sunday a family day.
-Work from your parents' town during the week and escape to a place in the city on the weekend.

Life design is ripe for parallel thinking. Don't settle for preconceived options without having a go at some different ways of being.
