It is theoretically possible to commute from anywhere. I have known several regional pilots and FAs who commuted from Europe, and there's a pilot at my current regional who commutes from SW Asia.
That kind of commuting is less commuting and more frequent vists home. You would need an apartment (or crashpad) in your domicile and would need to bid trips back-to-back with the minimum legal one-day break so as to load all your days off together. At a regional you could reasonably get 5-6 days off in a row, but more than that would require seniority and creativity. This assumes PBS is in use, otherwise it might be impossible to get more than 4-5 days off on a regular basis.
