    been doing it over 10 years

    travelled the world asia, south America, North america Africa, Europe benn to some great place but at the end its working, you tend to be on your own and end up talking to people you wouldn't look at twice at home.
    Had enough of it now

    don't get away quite as far as that but like you day - all you see is the inside of a hotel room / bar and wherever you're working.

    been doing it for 20 years

    has its good and bad points

    On your own in a strange hotel week after week as you say sucks

    Travelling the world - The far East, the Americas most of Europe Israel often with company can be great fun

    When I have gone for weeks without travel I get itchy feet - but if if I travel week after week I want time at home - its how to get the balance thats the really difficult thing

    Done surprisingly little travel in the UK though especially recently
