Moving for me is as simple as coming home to town B instead of town A. Just different words on a plane tickit.

to me this is a HUGE red flag.
No friends? Family? At your age i would expect you to be settled.

I wouldn't really agree with that, I used to work for a long time as a journalist, I travelled a lot, it didn't mean that I didn't have friends or family, I just couldn't have pets (4 legged ones) but my friends lived in a lot of different places, my family is quite spread out, so it didn't really matter where I settled down or which town or even country was my "official" home. I wouldn't have said that I was unsettled then, now that I know my schedule at least (in most cases) roughly 1 to 3 months in advance, things are easier, I can arrange for the pets to have somebody to come and feed them if I'm away, that wasn't possible with a call "OK, we need you to cover .... in London, you're there for 3 days, then you're in Paris and then in NYC, since the dates are close together, we book you flights from the location, not worth that you fly back..." It was difficult to fit in family, friends and relationships, but it is doable. Sometimes it is just going through the trouble of catching a flight, squeezing another trip in, just to show up at a birthday... It's not a life I would want to go back to (airline food is disgusting, and after a while even the nicest hotels all look the same) but I enjoyed it and if it wouldn't have been for personal reasons and a better job offer, I possibly would still be doing it and I don't think I'm an "unsettled" person.
