RAP Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 No. Although my job requires me too travel. Been doing it for years. It gets really old sleeping in hotels. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kikop Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Yes, of course. If money was no object, I would go on a world tour and visit as many countries as possible. Usually, trips motivate me and I work more productively after vacation. Besides, nowadays there are a lot of low-cost airlines, so it's possible to travel cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Descartian Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 The wife and I travel a lot. Covered 5 continents so far. We love experiencing other cultures. As much as I love traveling the world, my favorite thing about it is coming home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyd Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 I'm proud to say I have only left Florida 5 times in the last 24 years. For the 20 years before that always gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikdanja Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 I’m kinda weird and traveling makes me feel important. When I get to stay in a hotel and especially fly, it makes me feel like I’m important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degnan Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 I mostly travel for work, so I do not get much sight seeing time. Even when I do it is alone. Travel with the family is enjoyable as is a road trip with the guys to shot a match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe4d Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I like being other places, I hate getting there. Cant drive like I used to, and flying has just turned into 100% misery and a blatant surrender of every right you have. When I was endurance racing I did alot of traveling in the 8-12 hour range with the horses,,, but that eventually got to me. Just like USPSA,,, liked the game, hated the drive and time involved.

perttime Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 It is nice to be in places that are different from home - for a while. Done that before. A few days here, a year there. I don't even mind sitting in an airplane. Even before 911, I disliked airports. After that ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliveb Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Don't like travelling at all - a bit of a stick in the mud However, when you live on an island 19 miles by 9, you are pretty much guaranteed to gets lots of travelling done .... I used to have to travel a fair amount for work (circa once a month). These days, the only thing I travel for is 3 to 4 big IPSC matches every year, and that's more than enough, thank you very much.

rowdyb Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Love traveling, I've been to 30 countries and have lived in 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomstick303 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Love it. Up until my current employment for the last 4 years, I have traveled for work since I was 18. I have traveled to over 10 countries, and all but four of the United states. I would love a job where I traveled once a week every month, but I have not found that. There is a balance, especially if you are married and/or have kids. Employers always oversell quality of life and undersell the amount of travel you will incur while under their employ. I am super grateful for these travels in that it has shaped how I view the world, and the US. Now to figure out how to create a Travel budget for USPSA and IPSC matches.

MikeyScuba Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 We love travelling down to the USA to shoot matches. Much cheaper than remote scuba trips. Covid has put a damper but we will be down twice this year. Made lots of friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belus Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 I like going places more than I like arriving. I have a couple years to figure out how to rig a side car before my wife and son can go motocamping with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Descartian Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 The wife and I love to travel. We (in non covid times) go out of country 2-4 times a year and we take a couple in country trips, maybe 1-4 depending on the year. We vastly prefer to travel international, it’s great to be submerged in different cultures and environments. It’s also great to see some of the wonders of the world.

IPSCDRL Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 I used to travel a ton for work back in the day. It was awesome to be able to see many parts of the world and immerse oneself into varying cultures. I have been to all but about 9-10 of the US states and traveled to over 30 countries. I have a passport at home that I had to send back to have additional visa pages put in because I ran out of space. Been from Honolulu to Helsinki, Tokyo to Tel Aviv, Moscow to Melbourne. Glad I was able to do it when traveling was not nearly as onerous as it is today. We didn't have children so I was able to take my wife along to some pretty fabulous places. Unfortunately I burned her out on museums in Paris and I don't think she will ever step foot in one again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnipTheDog Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 I've had to travel for work quite a bit in my 30's. Being married and out of the country put a strain on the relationship. I'm happy that I no longer need to travel for work. It always seemed that you'd be stuck in a foreign country over weekends, holidays while your friends were out doing epic rides. I was in China for the Athens Olympics which was frustrating as hell. They would show a talking head but rarely would show the competitions.

flyinverted Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 My wife is an airline employee. Spouse benefits are free travel for me unlimited. - Standby only of course. The first 5 years of being married, I took solo weekend trips (when she was working) all over the US, but a lot of New York. On her days off the last thing she want to do is put clothes in a suitcase, get on a tube, fly somewhere and stay in a hotel. So, we ended up with a boat, and then a bigger boat. No longer on the coast, we sold the boat, but do travel a bit here and there, but not as much as we used to. My plan is to shoot better, and start hitting up matches out of my area.
