			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Over the last two months I have travelled over 1000 miles for work, from Glasgow to Slough to Leeds and London several times. I have started staying in Marriott hotels enough to warrant a loyalty card and already have nearly enough points for free night!</p>
<p>Travelling for work is hard, it means early mornings, late nights and a lot of eating alone. I don&#8217;t think I will ever really get used to booking a table for one. Although it&#8217;s a tough life and I am glad I only have to spend a day or so a week on average away from Leeds I am starting to enjoy certain aspects of it. The variety of the work is something I really love, along with meeting all sorts of characters. It is amazing to think that I spend a lot of time chatting to strangers in the hotel bar or at service stations whilst I am refuelling on relentless.</p>
<p>I am starting to look at moving on from my current job as I want to progress my career, but I am starting to think that I don&#8217;t want to move somewhere where I lose the opportunity to travel and experience the things I have experienced over the last few months.</p>
<p>I mean, as I write this I am chatting to a really interesting guy that works in real estate. he is currently setting up a deal to buy a warehouse and turn it into a contemporary opera space in East London.</p>
