Have traveled about 70-75% of the time the past 10 months. I’ve recently been placed on a local project. 4 weeks in and feels like I’m going crazy. Don’t feel like myself. Has anyone experienced this?

Agreed, I prefer a every other week travel (helps balance & sanity) I’m on weekly travel through the year end & it’s a minimal adjustment ....but I’ll take that over being local any day. Stay strong!

I do all the time

I’ve been traveling for 5 years straight and well still can’t get enough

Been on the road for 15+ years, have done local projects for a couple years of that and I am happiest when I’m on the road - coz when I’m not traveling, the vacations start costing real $$. Other than that, I do miss the family, home cooking and sleeping in my own bed. Will be starting a local project in July... let’s see how it goes.

Yes!!! Daily commute is driving me nuts. No difference in quality time spent with family.
