Or, why I am done traveling for work

Since October 2023, I have been traveling for work at a grand total of fifteen weeks. Fifteen weeks of lonely nights in cheap hotels, a measly per diem that allows for groceries and fast food only and a longing for home. From Cincinnati, Ohio to Houston, Texas and all points in between. 

This next week will be my last run before I turn in my truck and equipment back home into an uncertain future. 

I say uncertain because eventually, I will be back on the road but this time to move cross country to the gulf coast of Florida and a new life. I do not know where I will be employed, what I will be doing or if this is a smart move. It feels right and I want a new life with new opportunities and a launching point for another location out of the country. 

But first, I have five more days to get through. I was listening to this while I was typing the article.

Happy trails,

Chris
