Do you travel for work? Would you like to? Just getting a feeler for the community.

I work for a VAR and for most the folks in the partner space, travel to some extent is involved.

​

The amount of travel varies WILDLY from firm to firm and position to position, I would just love to get a feel for those out there that are road warriors. I work from home and travel as needed for client projects.

​

I traveled ~ 50 nights last year, personally I would of preferred double that. I have a gf that doesn't mind having the house to herself and we don't have/want any kids.

​

Pros

• Free Living while on the road. Some places permit a per-diem for dining expenses
• Get to see new places
• Airline/Hotel points & rewards (this really doesn't add up to much..maybe $5k/yr for someone traveling 150-200nts/yr

Cons

• You don't get to sleep in your own bed
• You don't get to workout at your local gym
• Anything else I am missing?

How many of you guys out there travel for work, hate it - and why? Conversely, I would love to know how many of you guys out there travel and love it - and why? A lot of people seem to hate work travel and only enjoy it when they are young and single, but I tend to enjoy it to a point (max of 10-12nts/month)
