Not 100% for me, but probably 50% of the time on the road and in hotels.
I used these years to save as much as I could before changing to a office role.
It was amazing as a young man, getting to see the world and being paid to do it, but all the things people envy about travel gets incredibly boring fast.
Lounge access, hotel upgrades, nice rental cars…. Once you’ve done it 10 times, it’s just another day at work.
Hotel breakfast will never be something I look forward to again, and that actually makes me a bit sad as it used to be the highlight of vacations.
My advice: if you’re young, save as much as you can as this lifestyle matches poorly with a partner and children. You will be happy you did when you get tired of missing all birthdays and events and swap to anormal hours with (often) less pay.
Otherwise: enjoy it! Traveling us fun, but make sure to set up some «you-time» where you explore and enjoy where you are. Try local food and turn off the brain for a few hours, so your only memory won’t be the office building you visited
