"What do you do that keeps you on the road so much?"
I'm a motorsports journalist. I actually get paid to watch fast cars!
Some of my trips are per diem (I get a flat rate for the job, and cover my expenses out of that check) while others are on a full expense account. The guy who writes the checks for the expensed trips really appreciates it when I can come up with a below average flight bill, and he also will add some money to a per diem job when the expenses are overly high. He knows how this stuff works, as he's not just the guy who writes the checks -- he's also a colleague who travels more than I do.
I love my job!
