There is travel that I find stressful (the rush for unassigned seats, late trains, all taxi rides), but I don't think that's the same thing.

If you drive 8 hours a day, in rural areas without much traffic, are you tired at the end of the day? I am, even though I literally did nothing other than turn a wheel and push on a pedal.
