I like to leave my home country and go to a more advanced country to work, but I had not the situation yet.
I specially like to educate beside work either, just if it's a good education.
I hope this wish come true a day. and I'll try for that.

Hi,
Interesting survey. In my case I needed a "out of country" choice as well.
I travel monthly to Colombia for support purposes as well as take care of programming modifications requests made by my clients.
Today (5/4/06) I am in Medellin, tommorrow I'll be in Bogota and on Monday I'll be in Cali.
Alot of travelling but the Frequent Miles sure add up!!!

"Bundesland" = "federal state" (is that correct?)

What about commuters? They also live in a different town.
Don't try it, just do it!

What about traveling so much you don't have a home town?

I've been pretty fortunate with not having to travel very often because let's face it, business travel isn't always as glorious as friends and family may think it is.
But I have been lucky enough to visit our head office in Austria 5 times in the last six years (mostly beetween 2000 & 2002). The office is in in the Alps and I was even went snowboarding one weekend on a picture-perfect sunny day.
Most of the time I'm heads down at the PC at our office which is fine by me
Our sales team does a ton of travelling and some of them are travelling 50% or more of the time. I don't envy them at all because they often look pretty rough after a few weeks on the road.
Cheers,
-Chris

Hello,
I travel daily outside of my 'hometown' since the company where I work is located in another city. In this case I'm tied to my desk, but I have to travel outside my hometown. I can work from my home though, but I find working in the office rather satisfying.

I pondered the same question, is the intent "do you travel to work" or “jot over a few cities to get to work”?
Personally I live about 12 miles from work, it’s a quick trip but none the less still outside of the city where I reside.

I interpreted the question as "How much do you travel for work-related activities?"
In my case, I travel rarely. Like you, however, I work in a different town from the one I live in. It's about a 20-25 minute commute by car, or 50-60 minutes by bicycle  .

You can consider yourself lucky. I have to travel 2 hours by train in the morning and 2 hours back home. I spend less time in the office, since I can get some work done in the train too.

Trust me, I do.
I used to work for a company who had a satellite office in Long Beach, CA. Most of the people there had 75-90 minute commutes in L.A. traffic. The best commute was just under an hour. Those folks spent over 12 hours a day earning a living; 2-3 hours commuting, 9 or more hours working, 1 hour for lunch

Oops, I didn't mean my response to sound insulting, Bob  .
The point I was making was about my coworkers at the time. It sounds like you spend the same amount of time working that I do; it's just that you spend some of it in transit. The guys I worked with couldn't use the commute to get any work done, since they were behind the wheel at the time. The other part of their lifestyle I didn't care for was the fact that they spent 9 or 10 hours a day at work, once they got there. One guy even told me he never saw his kids awake except on the weekends  .
Now where's that :foot-in-mouth: icon...

Don't worry, it wasn't.

I feel sorry for his kids, since they need also need at least a part-time father.. When I have kids one day, I'll sure be with them 7 days a week reading a bed-time story until the reach a certain age.

Good for you! Fatherhood has taken a beating in recent years, and it's always great to hear about someone motivated to do it right.
I'll give you a hint: the bedtime story, while it does fade, never quite goes away. My 14 year old daughter had been having a rough time of it one day a while back. That night, she asked me to read her a story when she went to bed.

Here in the Netherlands motherhood also takes a beating. The government wants the educated women to work at least parttime. Young children have to go to daycares and the like, which isn't good at all. I'm lucky that my girlfriend thinks the same like me.

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind when my children reeds that age.

It scares me that you know how long it takes to get to work on a bike!
|

Actually, I like to commute on the bike occasionally. During the spring and summer I try to ride in 2-3 times a month. During the summer, when I don't have after-school stuff with my daughter to worry about, I'll ride more.
I've got three routes I can take, ranging from 11 to 13 miles one way. Route #1 has me on a bike path for all but 2 miles, and is basically flat. Route #2 is all country road, and is gently rolling. Route #3 is also back road terrain, but includes a couple of heart attack-inducing hills. I usually take route #2 or #3 in to work in the morning, and then route #1 home. Afternoon traffic isn't as well-behaved, so it's better to be on the bike path.

Hi. I live in the north of the city, and my work is at the south. I don't travel to another city, yet going from home to work was a 50 KM trip, and usually it takes me like two hours because of the traffic. What a hell! Now, I'm living with my uncle's apartment and it "only" takes me an hour... That's the price you have to pay when you live in a city whose population is around 3E7.
