Notes -
Have you traveled for work to any great extent? If not, what you're yearning for likely isn't travel as much as vacation, lack of responsibility and limited adherence to social rules.
Most people who have to travel for work, even those who specifically sought it out for that reason, bounce off hard.
I've ping-ponged between countries at one point, not for work but to fulfil other obligations. It got tiring and I got fed up at many points, yet I still somehow romanticise the idea.
The highly wistful bent of the third paragraph isn't meant to say "travelling is great" but to illustrate the strong compulsion I feel towards doing it in spite of the bits that aren't great. Which comes back to the idea of adaptation promoting certain behaviours.
More likely to be the other way round, don't you think? People who feel a compulsive need to travel are going to be drawn to occupations that let them do so. Combine that with the tendency of children to do the same job as their parents et voila.
