You are definitely not the only one on the board for whom coach is not a tragedy. I have had a lifelong desire to travel the world, and now that I have that opportunity, I'm certainly not willing to whine about how I get there or where I stay!
100% of my travel is leisure travel funded by prioritizing my discretionary funds and by working part time. My actual "seat in metal" miles for the year will be about 30,000-40,000 with trips to date being Belgium and Italy, and an upcoming trips later in the year to Peru and Sweden.
