So I do about 200 nights in a row domestically, fly around 70 flights a year across Canada. I went to this job from 0 travel.

I've been doing this for 3 years (late twenties). At first, I loved it. Now, I hate it.

I have top tier status with all the hotel chains I want to be at, and pretty high status with Air Canada (i'm Canadian).

I'm married, no kids. The points are sure great, but I went from "this is cool" to "ugh, another f***** idiot stopping in front me of at the airport, another plane, another etc etc".

The loneliness in hotel rooms is getting to me. My drinking got to a point I HAD to quit. And I'm going through a bit of an episode right now where I am seriously lonely out on the road and probably depressed.

Now, that's one extreme.

The others are many on here who have been doing this for decades and somehow can do it. I know I like traveling, but it's getting/got to me. I'm happy to share more as I've learned a lot about crazy travel, but in that case, PM me with your phone # and i'll call you. My fingers can't type enough, lol

EDIT: I do this because I'm well compensated and my travel policy is "ok". It's not like IBM. If it weren't for the higher than market salary, I'd probably have quit about 1.5 years ago.
