Regular business travel isn't for everyone. If you don't have the requisite character traits and personal skills then you won't like it.
It depends on the position. I was replying to the person who said he doesn't want to be talked to on the airplane and doesn't want to be talked to on the hotel and just wanted to be left alone. That doesn't seem like the person has any social skills at all or if the do they are not social at all.
