Lawyer. Self-employed and all travel self-funded (clients almost never, ever pay for it). Lots of short-haul, some transcon and an increasing TATL schedule. Outside shot at SE this year, but that might require a MR.

Unless Greece is part of Scotland now, no. But Scottish food is shyte, and I feel no guilt at the culinary appropriation.

Some Canadian travel involved, in three years I've spent a total of 7 weeks living in hotels mainly Fairmonts.

Prior job at retail brokerage was more business development oriented with frequent short trips (trade shows, etc,) within Canada.

CA - Chartered Accountant (like CPA in US).

We also have CGA - Certified General Accountant and CMA - Certified Management Accountant (I am one of those).

Anesthesiologist. Made SE first time last year by going long distance for volunteer works and attending family functions. Paid every mile out of my own pocket. Got tax receipts for volunteer work though.
