People who travel the country for a living/work, how has it affected your view on life and what experience resonates the most?

I travel the world about 40-50% of my year for work.

I have been to dozens of countries I had heard of but never imagined seeing, and others that i never even new existed and turned out to be great places.

What i have learned the most about, is how unfairly the world stereotypes countries and it's people as evil, when those people are exactly the same as them, and just trying to work, have families and provide for them.

I have also learned after a number of years of doing this: I have a really hard time relating to people who have very little life experience outside of their bubble. It's sad, but once you've seen too much, your world and perception really change forever.

At this point in my life, I cannot ever see myself settling down and not ever travelling again (even though it can be very hard to live on the road). The road has changed me forever, and whenever i am home for loner then a week or two i get really anxious, and need to go back out into it again. i don't why, Being somewhere else (especially somewhere really foreign) all the time makes me feel eternally playful and young inside.
