I travel at least twice a month for 3 days (2 overnighters) to our London office and I enjoy it. Yes the travel can be hard but it is balanced out by meeting up with colleagues from the London office who I would only see one day a year at our all staff meeting if I didn't. Work will pay for my travel which is first class on the train and my hotel including breakfast, lunch and evening meals. If I stay with a colleague work will pay for us to have a meal and drink up to £30 - if I do this I always stay with the same colleague so we go out and get a pizza each to cook in her over and then buy a few drinks and catch up on all our gossip.

I don't think I'd stay in this job if I couldn't travel and get out there.

My DH is a lorry driver so what ever travelling I have to do pales into insignificance compared to what he has to do each week!
