Is travelling a part of your job?

I work as a sourcing and purchasing assistant in a foreign trade company.I am in charge of sourcing some good factories for our foreign buyers.The factories are all over China.Hence I need to travel sometimes as a business trip somewhere in my country.Honestly,I don't like going on business frequently.For example,if I am arranged to visit one factory,then I should get up early to the airport.And when I arrive at the city I need to visit,I go to the factory in a hurry.After placing an order,I go back to to my city again.It is quite different from the personal trip.I don't have too much time to enjoy the views of another city.My job is to fulfill my task rather than enjoying the journey.But I should say,if I don't go on a business trip often,I will find it more interesting.Coz staying in the office all the time is boring. Have a nice day.

My former job as a training specialist required me to travel domestically. I was assigned in the northern provinces of Luzon (Philippines). I was able to meet our operations people face to face and earn myself new friends. It's fun to travel but it can also be very tiring.

If it happens to me now, I would say yes, I like this kind of job. I haven't got married yet and I have no pets. So it will be easy to travel without anything to think about and that will make me enjoy the job plus the trip. But if it happens like 5 years from now, then I would say no. I would have a family by that time, and maybe some children, so I would prefer to stay close to my family.

I am traveling more than four hours every in order to reach my place of work. Yes, it is very tiring and if given a chance I want to work in a place near our home. I also have the option to stay on my place of assignment but I prefer to be with my family everyday. Anyway, this is a part of my job and I have learned to accept things as it is. Have a nice day!

Hi there, I love to travel that's one of my favorite task hahaha...business with pleasure. I used to travel before when I'm in my home land and it's giving me personal satisfaction even though it is not abroad at least I can travel and it is free. I'm working in a private company before and as part of the key personnel I am entitled to some benefits which include traveling, we used to go some places to find interesting things to use as our model for a new design so when clients come we have a lot to show them. It is tiring but satisfying! :)

I would love to have such a job, as I like to travel. But then again, who doesn't? I believe that there are a few jobs that are that flexible. Well my job is partly flexible, in the way that I don't have to work in an office, but I would love to travel as part of my job. ps; I don't like jobs in an office, I find them very very boring.

Though I am a teacher, travelling is part of my job since I get trained and I also give training. But the travelling is only for a few days at a time. I have 2 sons and we stay at the accommodation provided by the school. My husband now stays in a different state. So, it gets difficult. I have an uncle and cousin who both stay an hour away from me. I usually drop the boys at their place when I have to travel. If they have other plans, I have no other option than to take the boys along with me. My colleague who has a daughter and joined before I did, had taken her along with her at the cost of the school. But since I've come, the school has started charging us for accommodation for the kids too. I've paid up whenever I've taken my kids but she hasn't. To answer your question, I love travelling and working. But I feel very uncomfortable when I have to do it at the cost of troubling my kids. It's not easy to be shuttled around. And the little one has now become very clingy with my frequent travelling.

I only travel for work once in a while. I will go to conferences which I have to fly to and spend 4 days at. I like it though. It's something different to do andi learn a lot there and get to socialize with people from my field of work.

I went to university to study Education and English. As part of my course I was able to move to the Netherlands and live there for four months. It was from September until December in my second year of study. It was exciting to live and study over there. I traveled around the world when I was 20 to 21 years old. Due to having a working holiday visa I was permitted to work legally in Australia. I worked as a children's nanny, a charity collector and a factory packer. When I was 18 years old I worked in Finland as a children's nanny and taught a little girl to speak English. I have worked since beginning my teaching career in my home country. If I had a job where I could travel I would be a teacher abroad. I would wish to work at language schools teaching people English. I think that would be exciting. My friend's sister worked as a language teacher in Spain, Poland and Russia. Now she is back in my home country. My ex-husband works as a language teacher in China.

hi, for me i think it will depend upon the job we have,because when i was a help desk i sometimes went to travel in every client we have to have a testing for their system,so i knew it from the first that travel was part of my job,and even now because we need to travel before we reach the our office.

How I wish it s part of my job but sadly I will be stuck on this office, I would love to travel, even in just a city where I had never been before. I was planning to go to malmo this year and ask a leave in May because I want to watch Eurovision but My boss sadly wont allow e as my responsibilities multiplied after my promotion and they rely on me. so wont be able to have a chance for an overseas trip, maybe a 1 week trip on Hong Kong or Singapore since its much more closer to my country and I can go back to my country overnight much faster.

How I wish to have the job with a lots of traveling. My previous jobs, the nature of work is to travel from one place to another. Right after the project ended, I went across the country to do the same thing. Now, I need to have more time in my family. Sooner or later, I will be busy again.

I'd love to travel and if I have the opportunity to find a work that offers travelling to different places then I will grab it. It is my wish since I was graduated in college. I do not want to do office work and stay for one building for the rest of my life. I will accept an offer if I will be sending to other places or town that new to my eyes for at least a month or more if the company needs it. I want adventure. Looking forward this year for that kind of job.

I have the same situation where I had to travel to work in another island as an auxiliary worker because the new branch there need some senior workers to work there. Since the company supported me in any circumstances and needs, I would like to accept the travel. besides that, getting new work experience in another place is a good advantageous.

It's great that your sister-in-law can do that. In the past, I did have a job for which I did some traveling--just regional stuff. Still, it was fun to get to see new places and be compensated for it at the same time.

First of all, I dislike travelling, taking the plane or boat really gives me all sorts of anxiety. Add to this the fact that most drivers now are reckless, I would rather stay where I am now. That's just the way I am. I must be a travel phobia.

Hi, I have been tied to a desk in an office traveling only occasionally when work demands it. There was a time, a few years back, when I have to go fifty kilometers to do work, a consultancy job on a government project, but that was only for a few months. It was exciting, meeting new people, being in a new place, eating different foods but I do like being nearer to my workplace, saves a lot of trouble like having to spend for transportation, food, and overnight accommodations. The people are more friendly too, being next door neighbors.

My job doesn't require traveling but I like to travel. Whenever, there are seminars that I have to attend I would willingly go because it will be held in another city. I also spend my vacation with my children who live away from us so that I can really travel.

I am a consultant so that I usually need to trip.some trip may continue four months above.it is quite excited when you arrived at a new place at the beginning. However with the time passes you must be seriously homesick. Even though my company permit us can go back home once per two weeks,it is so exhausting to do so. Only one advantage is on these trip days I have double payments haha

Now I want to do a job that does a lot of travelling too. Doing the same office routinary jobs is going to be boring at some point. So it would be nice if you did get to do travelling every once in a while. I'm a nurse so I won't really get the travelling things, it's sad. :( but I think having to travel around isn't good too if you do it too much. If travelling becomes normal to you, hen it becomes routine as well. You won be able to appreciate your travel very much if it beco,Ed so usual to you. And besides riding a plane too much can be harmful to your health. You could get diseases like deep vein thrombosis and it would make your legs hurt really bad when you're walking and the blood clots could travel to other systems of your body and you could die from it. Pressure in aurcrafts have also been related to the development of brain tumors. It's sad reall, can't have too much of everything after all.
