I almost feel like sometimes when I'm on location, you miss your home and your family and all that stuff, but it keeps you focused on the work.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's important to travel and move and have a continual set of experiences so you've got more to feed back into your work. For me, it's a natural thing.
I love to travel. During normal workdays, sometimes it feels like I have to bludgeon ideas out of my soul - but when I'm traveling, relaxed and unpressured, the ideas just spill out.
I miss my kids sometimes and that can get me down when I've been away working, but then I wake up and recognize how incredibly lucky I am. Spending time being down is less time out there achieving and enjoying.
I definitely find my time to be away from my phone because I think that's important, but when it comes to work and friends, I feel like everything is on my phone. I'll, like, leave my phone in my room for a few hours when I need my space.
When I go on the plane to fly home, I'm literally capable of forgetting what I do for a job. That also comes about because I choose to take massive breaks between projects, and because I choose to do this ridiculous thing of keeping home, home.
Taking time to sit back and watch and think about what you've seen is important. Traveling did a great deal to me. I found that when I travel and just sit in the corner and watch, a million ideas come to me.
People, including me, can get so detached from everything, but when you can focus on a defined place, a home, it gets you back in touch.
That's one great thing about my profession, traveling to locations.
I guess I just tend to feel at home wherever I go.
I'm lucky that most of the time I'm on location in amazing places. Most of the time, I don't need holidays, I just stop working.
