Presumably you had cash in the bank to decide you weren't going to go home? Becoming location independent doesn't happen over night.
I work freelance myself doing social media management. I tend to travel for about half the year then return home and knuckle down again with the work. When I'm travelling or abroad there's too many distractions I find and I don't do enough work.
You are totally right - it doesn't happen overnight. I had some cash in the bank, and business in the states that I spent about a year setting up.
Still, your line of work seems pretty close to ideal - you can do it from just about anywhere provided you have a net connection, time, and ability to concentrate.
Like you, I can't get shit done unless I have a home-like place to settle into for a while and get productive.
However, that place doesn't have to be the same place each time.
