It really depends on your type of personality and where you are in life. When I graduated college 3 years ago, I was single (dating) and ready for new experiences. I work for an accounting firm and travel a decent amount (90 nights last year, small potatoes compared to some I know) and for the last couple years I haven't really minded the traveling. I have seen new places and met new people, and above all else I have been able to stockpile a decent amount of hotel points and airline miles. I only got into credit card churning about 6 months ago, but even before that I had accumulated probably 500k Marriott points from butt-in-bed nights using the Marriott credit card and taking advantage of various promotions.

Now I am engaged and hope to have a reduction in travel next year so that I am not out of town all the time (probably not conducive to a happy first year of marriage) but I don't regret any of the travel I have done in the past. Above all else, I am paying for our 2 week vacation in Hawaii on points alone.

OP, don't let anyone tell you what you will or won't enjoy. If you want to travel, go for it!
