Hello Hello!!

Tomorrow is my 3rd time im visiting Germany, Hamburg specifically, for business reasons and will be my almost 10th trip due to work within a year! With this 'feeling' as an excuse, i thought to share my experience with the steemunity :D.

A year ago, i was always thinking what a great job would be, one that could be sending me around the world. This way, i would visit foreign cities,cultures, people while spending least amount of money , nor using my holidays, 2 birds with one stone! Lately though, i am getting mixed feelings, since travelling this often for work, especially alone to a foreign country, is somehow tiresome, kind of stressful and in general not so amazing as i thought!

Dont take it the wrong way, i like Hamburg and all other cities that i have been to, but theory and practice seem to differ a little bit more than i had expected. Sometimes it gets boring as well, if there are no people at the office or not ones that you can socialise with , for the short time frame you will be there.

I am not going to mention the fact that booking hotel for 2-3 weeks, means no cooking meals and usually no office chair (for all of us with back problems :P ) . Of course, there are hotels that provide that, but usually out of my company's budget (due too short traveling notice).

This is the third city i am visiting for work, after Rome (Italy) and Nyon (Switzerland). Please share any thoughts or questions or experiences!!
