I have not traveled for my job. I would like to though. I think it would be fun travel for your job. You would be able to see the world while you work. Work would be alot more fun that way. I love to travel when I can. I just don't have enough money to travel other wise I would. I hope one day to find a good paying job that I can travel.

Yes, I traveled a few times due to work requirement. The first assignment was on one year relocation to Oregon in United States. I was staying in Hillsboro for most of the time. Besides, I got a chance to fly to Chandler in Arizona for a week during that relocation time frame as well. The second trip is flying to Seoul, Korea. That's a one week assignment, to meet with the sub contractor, who process our end product. I grabbed the chance to learn some simple Korea phrase during trip.

I haven't traveled for my work however I had done a some jobs overseas to help me spend longer overseas. I have been able to get a work visa for Finland and a working holiday visa for Australia. I worked as a children's nanny in Finland. I did lots of different jobs in Australia including charity work, factory work and child care. I have studied in the Netherlands. My career is primary school teaching in my home country.

Before I needed to travel a lot for my job, at beginning I enjoyed it. It seemed a free trip. You can go to new places as a tourist. You also can get allowance from your company for travelling. But later I felt fed up with the life. I was getting lazy. I just wanted to stay at office and did some work. Now for my personal pleasure I travel a lot. Compared to previous experience I still prefer travelling for leisure instead of business. Although I have to pay for it.

Yeah in my previous job I have the chance to travel different places. It is very enjoying where you can meet a lot of people with different culture and attitudes. And also you can see places you never seen before. You can discover a lot o things when traveling and the best of all these it's free because my company provide all the necessary expenses.

Yes. There are a lot of times in my job where I do need to travel. Sometimes, I get tired of it though because nothing can replace going to a certain place for a vacation. Anyway, if there is still time, I try to take side trips after doing my job.
