So I travel for work all the time, and by all the time I mean weekly. At first I was caught up in the perks...endless free food and drink, luxury hotels, and trendy locations. I thought this was a good opportunity for a young single 20 something who has a short attention span, craves constant change, and loves never knowing where I could be a couple of days from now. Did I mention that I get to do my work independantly without anyone watching over my shoulder... this was also a huge selling factor as I can be direct, action oriented and need my space.
However lately, I feel stifled and bored, and by lately I mean months. I still love the travel, which shocks my family and friends, being that I am never home. It's the work that I am bored with. I consistently yearn to be challenged and when there is nothing left to absorb from a situation, I need to bust loose.
Speaking of busting loose, I just got home from 3 weeks in Europe. One would have thought this would have rejuvenated me, and it did...for about a week. But the fact that I can write this during my work day is reason enough for me to be bored. I want to work in magazines, now I just need to figure out how to get there. After numerous internships, being published in some national publications, I still can't find an entry level editorial job.
The hunt continues...
