The novelty soon wears off. Give it 6 months to a year and you'll come to hate being away from family and friends, it's almost as if you entire life revolves around work which is not a happy place to be... unless you have a grand plan of retiring early :)

I moved from Johannesburg to Dublin to get away from the same :) Thankfully we don't travel that often. Since I've been there (nearly 7 months) I've only been away 3 times. It's more like 4 - 6 times a year at the moment & I can handle that.

Twice or three times a year. Not for clients but mainly for conferences and such (research company.) I got to go to Vegas (including a helicopter flight to the Grand Canyon) which was grand and Indonesia which was fascinating.

Looks like we have something in common :) Which part of SA were you from & where in Ireland are you now? Fancy a :beer:?

I got this from google. Not sure if it's right but seems reasonable.

Yeah, I saw that too - but seemed kind of odd.

Born in Drogheda, lived in mostly in Pretoria & the Vaal. Currently in Dublin for nearly a year (will be a year on the 28th). Waterford eh? Ag sure, that's just down the road :)

Rob's post got me wondering - do many of you travel for work? The company I work for often requires the developers to go abroad to meet with clients, banks, etc. I've recently returned from Barcelona (Thursday) and will be heading back there in the next two weeks. While I realize that not everyone has "the travel bug" I feel really fortunate that I get to visit different countries as part of my work. So, are there any more travelling dev's out there? :)
