Over 800 days in hotel in the past three years. Its a rather difficult life, and hard to explain how it impacts you.

Time difference, doctor/dental visits, mail, family, and work life balance are brutal.

Getting a call when your partner totals a car, and ends up having one of their worst days, and just needs a physical person to see and comfort them really makes it seem pointless. Life happens and its hard enough when you're able to return home everyday.

Even if you generally like travel, beyond a certain threshold, you lose contact with people/local activities and there are a lot of logistical challenges to either not having a home base or maintaining one that you do have--especially a house. I maxed out at about 150 days a year and that was a lot.
