As someone who travels a lot, it's exhausting and incredibly expensive. Either it's short enough that you feel obligated to try and stay consistently busy or it's long enough that you begin to miss the familiar. I had dreams of trying to join the Century Club when I was younger - I'm about a 3rd of the way there, and the older I get the more I feel like I hate travelling due to how exhausting it is - dealing with airports is just the absolute worst. I'm worried that I'm going to get to retirement and just be done with it all and just become a hermit.

The sundial thing sounds awesome though.
