Am I living or just existing?

Hello everyone,

two beers in and I ask myself again, am I living or just existing right now? I‘m a male 35 living in Europe, my relationship is going down under, I do have a stable income with an comfortable Homeoffice job, no house, no obligations and a little bit of cash (really just a little to get over a couple of months) When I was younger (in my twenties) I was traveling a lot through Europe and SEAsia and I felt like I was truly living. I enjoyed myself, visited cities, made new friends and had a good time. I knew I could not live this travel lifestyle for ever and I didn’t intent to do it. But damn I miss it!! My every day life right now feels so empty and boring like I’m missing out on life. I’m watching YouTube a lot, go to the gym, meet friends or go to the beach. I want my twenties back. What should I do? Keep existing like this in my comfort zone or just go ANYWHERE and see what will happen? What would you do? Do you feel the same? Am I missing something?
