I tend to get bored and move every year or two, always longing to go far away, but usually settling on hours away. The longest I've been at an address as an adult was three years. Not sure if I'm proud of this, as someone accused me of running away, but I just get this urge ...

There's always been a fantasy for me to experience things and I've always dreamed of living in various regions of the US and world for 6 months to a year or so to experience the lifestyle and culture of these places.

That said, I think I could settle for an RV (yes, I've thought about that too) and putter around for a loooong time. May very well do so once my girls are able to fend for themselves.

The initial cost might be high, but it would be cheaper than trying to buy a house on the beach in CA or Hawaii. The recurring costs would be food, entertainment, occasional campground/hostel/marina fees, and health insurance.
Side of the road, rest stops and Walmart parking lots take care of the "home" expenses and needs. For food, entertainment and gas there are always small odd jobs to be found.

The other problem would be that things like drivers licenses and credit cards aren't setup for people with no address.
Use the address of a family member or someone you trust to hold mail for you. Everything else can be done online.

Have them come visit you.
