Not at all, I work remote and haven't had to travel in years. Where do you have to go and how long are you away?
Arizona is beautiful…. Could you look at it as a fun away trip, despite part of it being for work?
No, thankfully I haven't had to travel for work in ages. I used to have to do it a few times a year at a previous job and I didn't enjoy it. I thought at first it would be cool to see different places, but I mostly saw depressing industrial parks on the outskirts of second-rate cities. Not so glamorous!
Exactly, the whole time is spent in an office!

Yes, and I kind of love it. Hotel, expense account, peace from my family… where are you going?
I feel the same way. As long as I'm not traveling multiple times a month (that can get exhausting), I love going somewhere new, staying in a hotel, eating on the company card. Especially if it's a bigger city where I can get some nice meals, I'm totally down
No, I literally never get to travel for work and I really wish that I did. I always wanted to have a job where I got to travel because I really enjoy traveling but unfortunately, I landed myself in a job where I quite literally never travel LOL. I will take your spot for you OP lol.

Never travel but wouldn't mind if it was like once or twice a year
I've traveled for work regularly, but it was relatively local. But occasionally, I've been asked to travel overnight for a few days at a time. I enjoy the local travel as I get to see part of the land that I wouldn't normally see and allows me time to debrief from the day on the way home. As far as overnight travel, I enjoy visiting the area that I'm traveling to and also receive mileage reimbursement along with food and lodging based on a per diem rate. As another respondent mentioned, try to see it as a partial getaway.
I travel for my work, but I knew it was part of my job function. If this is a requirement for your job, then you knew that prior to accepting the job. However, if you did not then that is something you may want to discuss with your supervisor
I formerly used to have to travel weekly as a consultant and also as a sales support rep. It truly wore me out and I was able to find a job without travel . The the upside to travel is that you get a lot of miles and points for travel from the various hotels and airlines. So there's that one perk.

If it's a one off I would do it.
Otherwise I am do dead against travelling and I know I shouldn't be
