while moving three times in a year at a young age is hard to do it is still VERY DIFFERENT than the daily/weekly grind of schlepping yourself on a plane week in and week out. Remember not all locations you will be sent to are exotic or fun. You have to take the "Duncan, Oklahoma's" along with London, Tokyo and NYC. I am not trying to discourage you but many people who have never travelled for work over romanticize biz travel. It can be great especially if you have a positive attitude but just remember this lifestyle chews up many people.

When interviewing people, I probably ask/mention over 10 times the constant travel being a consultant in my company requires. We have lost 4 people in the last year who couldn't hack the constant travel and we are a small group.
