My traveling has slacked significantly since I moved to NYC. Along with having a terminal lack of freed up funds, it’s infinitely hard to find time off here. As if the expected 50 – 60 hour work weeks aren’t enough of a deterrent, bosses tend to oftentimes try to dictate when you are allowed to take time off. I guess indenturing yourself to them forty-seven weeks out of the year isn’t enough.

We’re steadily moving into the holiday seasons, and with that oncoming inevitably comes the burden of traveling. With budgets tightening around the globe and the high cost of fuel, traversing those long roads is going to be a weighty expense for most.
