Yes, it really depends on the person. By and large, though, I've observed that your post's parent is correct - lousy home life, want to cheat, that sort of thing. Living in a hotel is dreadful (IMO, of course), having none of your own resources (I like playing guitar, woodworking, playing with my dogs, and so on, none of which are particularly possible in a hotel) is draining, and I don't really like endless rounds of bars and restaurants. So, a terrible life from my point of view. The pluses - new cities, new people, etc., don't compensate. I have a friend that travels all the time, and I'll get plaintive emails about being in some hotel in some great city, such as Hong Kong, and he has been working 15 hour days and crashing in his hotel room, while his wife and kids and home and dog are half a planet away. I do not envy him. To answer the OP: any kind of service/support role in the technical side can give you lots of travel. Install this new server, or help clients get up to speed, or debug this thingy onsite. But, be sure to figure out what this entails: are you working 5 hours and then carousing in NYC (the vision), or working 17 hour days in some dingy facility in the middle of Iowa? To make all that plane flight + hotel + expenses + salary pay off, it's likely to lean towards the latter. I made a joke that is no joke to my gf from my hotel room a few weeks ago: "you know those bar/restaurant/hotel travel scenes in 'House of Lies'? My trip is exactly not like that" Which is not to dissuade you; plenty of people have great travel for work experiences. It is just a suggestion to figure out exactly what you will be getting, and to look inside yourself to figure out if it appeals to you.
