Reviewing Travel Statistics
I was just gathering up my travel statistics for 2019 (yes, we're almost 2 full months into 2020, I know). What's interesting is comparing the 7 year averages from 2007 (when I started my current job) through 2013 and the 6 year averages from 2014 (when travel slowed way down and I started doing more and more remotely) through 2019.
From 2007 through 2013, I averaged 57 work nights a year on the road (basically, Sunday night through Thursday night, excluding holidays and vacations). This meant I was on the road 25.8% of the work nights. Factoring in the entire year (including vacations when I was away from home) I averaged spending the night somewhere besides home 86.6 nights a year, or 24.3% of the year.
Starting with 2014, I was still doing about the same number of trips away from home. (Slightly fewer, but not by a significant amount) But now I'm spending an average of 2.8% of the work nights away from home (6.3 work nights per year) and 8.3% of the total calendar nights away from home (30.2 nights per year).
