Travelling for work?

Just interested in hearing about people that have to travel for work. How often do you have to travel for overnight or longer stays? Do you like it? Are there any perks etc?

I do not travel as much as I use to, now maybe once every 6 weeks, for anywhere from a night to the full week.

When I was traveling more it got very old, 3-4 weeks in the month, 3-5 days per trip. It was fun to see new cities, and when I was in a new city I made the effort to get out and explore, so that is a perk. Also if your company let's you keep your points, that is a huge perk, I still have close to 500,000 Marriott points, can stay in Europe for three weeks without paying for a hotel. Same with airline points.

@Lackwittyname yeah I fully understand the getting old part. I would loose my mind waiting at airports over the weeks. I think the new cities would be somewhat exciting, however I don't like to explore new places on my own. Is definitely prefer company.

@Laughman Well sometimes travel is with coworkers, but overall, when traveling alone you just get used to doing things yourself, otherwise it is a nice boring night in the hotel alone.

@Lackwittyname I'm doing more prep for my trips.. taking some of my own movies, because I am convinced normal tv is slowly killing me via stupidity.
