I work as a consultant within the private school system, but i travel a lot for work both in the state that I live in plus out of town; The schools are scattered all over the country so at any given time, I could be away for work.
Typically, our assignments require that I am gone for 6 or more weeks… And while that is a long time to be away from home, I have grown used to it, then especially now that I have been using corporate housing instead of hotels.
I remember when I first began to travel, plus I stayed in hotel suites for weeks at a time. It was so painful not being able to cook or eat the things I wanted to because the hotels didn’t have the necessary amenities. I switched from hotels after meeting another consultant at a conference who told myself and others about her corporate lake house plus how much she loved it. That day our entire life changed plus traveling became so much better. I began to stay in corporate apartments plus fell in like with them; Not only did these apartments have the same amenities as a hotel that include a gym, office space, pool, plus more, however they were also cheaper than staying in a hotel. Additionally, the apartments have fully stocked living rooms, so I was able to cook our meal plus they have enough room for myself and others to entertain family plus friends without feeling care about we are cramped in a small space, and one thing’s for sure, when I travel for work, I will skip the hotel plus opt for a corporate lake house instead.
