Used to do that, had my own consulting business and traveled on average 5 days a week.
I was making a killing but it seemed i only saw my family on weekends.
This was when my youngest was 2 years old.

One day i realized that I was trading my kid's childhood for money.

Sold the business (for a huge profit) and got a regular job close to home making 1/4 of what I was at my business and never regretted it. Except for getting published, that part was fun.

5 years later i ended up making the same as before but didn't have to travel to get it.
Now I travel about 6 weeks a year and think that's too much.

They asked me to go to Italy last month, I said "nope, sorry don't have a passport".

secret: I have a passport but Italy is full of foreigners j/k

BTDT, I see no need to leave this country and probably never will again.
No need to go looking for something else until I've seen everything here.
