In the 18 months I have worked at this position I have traveled twice, once to New Jersey and once to Dallas. Both times were to take training courses on new products the office was using, so I could not only learn them, but document them properly. I would like to travel more, many of the people in my office make frequent trips to Denmark...I am always trying to convince them they need a tech writer. Unfortunately, the Danish office has tech writers so I never get to go..but I am not giving up! :) Melissa
