That's not exactly "commuting", is it.
- DistractionRect 3y agoYeah, the title really misrepresents the situation. This is someone who doesn't need to live in London, and visits a London few times a year.
- Waterluvian 3y agoMy 10 hour commute is ridiculous. I live in rural Canada where it’s cheap and visit the Boston HQ every few years…
- coldtea 3y agoSounds like commuting to me: he has work to do in London, and he could have stayed and done it there, but he was forced by rising rents to live elsewhere and come back 5-6 times a year to do it. It's just not a daily commute.
- pavel_lishin 3y agoI used to work for a company headquartered in Austin, TX. About once a year, we would have a company all-hands, and I would fly in. I would not consider that "commuting"? Furthermore, Mr. Leek has a job in Buenos Aires - he's making a documentary. I'm not saying there isn't a problem here. I'm just saying that he's not commuting to work if he's traveling once every two months.
- lesuorac 3y agoCommuting is just about traveling to work. If you travel a long distance they call you a super commuter [1]. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_commuter https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_commuter
