I travel probably four days a week. That's the game of international development. You have to be at your properties. No developer is successful sitting behind their desk.

I routinely make trips to China and India where we have offices to continue to maintain the linkages that are necessary to run a successful business.
I've been all over the world on my own because, as a scientist, you travel a great deal if your work is reasonably successful or published. I get invitations to go to all sorts of strange countries where I would mostly be by myself and just meet other people there, instead of having travelling companions.
You have to travel globally today to know what's going on and maintain an edge.
When I haven't been working I've tried to travel a lot.
I am traveling less in order to be able to write more. I select my travel destinations according to their degree of usefulness to my work.

If your work requires you to travel, you will understand that there's no vacation destination like home.
