It can be relaxing to get a break from the travel. But if by “no one at home” you mean you don’t have friends or a community at home that sounds like a larger problem. Even for us introverts it’s important to have some level of social interaction and support network

Yes. It's called in lieu of travel

I have known a couple people to do this regularly. One friend gave up her apartment and traveled every weekend or stayed at the client site. Do what you want!

P2 where would she stay when she wasn’t on projects then? There are friends at home but none worth flying back to see. If i was in town and it was raining, I would think twice about going to meet them. So why would I fly across the country just to see them?

Where was all her stuff?

I had a friend who did this and basically didn’t have any stuff. When you carry everything you own, you get very serious about what you need
