I am genuinely curious about your work lifestyle.
The freedom to travel anywhere while working sounds awesome.
The ability to work anywhere while traveling sounds less so.
Well we did put down roots after a few years, or at least we have for for a while (me and my partner). We'll probably get the travel bug again.
We don't have or want children but I do know people who do this with families. There's an amazing community called world schooling where people travel and arrange a month in some beautiful place around the world with other families. They'll organize teachers and activities for children and make friends with the other parents.
I've met quite a few of them - the immediate assumption people will jump to is that they must be rich. But that's not the case, they're just normal people who love to travel and have jobs that can facilitate that. And the children I've met seem happy and well adjusted.
There's a whole movement that does this.
It does sound like a wonderful life... but if you want to have a family, you'll need to put down roots somewhere. I know a nomad who ended up doing this in Mexico - he'd never have guessed it years prior - and is super happy. So maybe, as a way of finding the country you're "meant" to live in, it's a nice approach. I think it's a younger person's game, though.
