Jen Leo at Written Road asks travel writers how their jobs affect their relationships. Which is a good question, really. So how does the spouse feel when you're jetting off to some resort every other week?
I've been on my own doing my own thing for so long, that it never occurred to me that travel could put a strain on a relationship. Now that I have a serious boyfriend, it's an issue. So, as I meet more and more married travel writers, I want to ask them, how do you do it? How do you deal with the leaving, with the return? Yesterday I happened to talk to two people from different perspectives. One married woman said that it is a strain on their relationship, but that she's not necessarily ready to give up her thriving career. Then I talked to a man, who is divorced, who can't imagine how being a travel writer works when you're in a relationship.
The responses are interesting: travel writers can weigh in on the discussion here.
