Previous jobs have provided a few opportunities for travel--mostly conferences. I started a new job this fall and travel is likely. I may even get to go to a desert racing event, which would be WAY cool, as part of my job. Other trips might be to oil rigs or pipeline inspection sites. Those will be interesting, but not as much fun.

Bronson (TCP) Sent: Thursday, January 25, 2007 10:54 AM To: TCP List Subject: [TCP] the traveling technical writer Hello everyone, Tomorrow, I send my manager on his way with an updated copy of the I3D presentation I made for the sales manager a couple of weeks ago, which he will show at our company's service conference in Georgia next week. I would have liked to make the presentation myself, but the budget didn't allow it. In the 8 years I've worked here, I have had the opportunity to travel quite a few times, though. Most of it has been for training, but once I got to travel to Nashville to document an add-on machine we purchase from an outside vendor. That was one of my all-time favorite projects! Do you get to travel as a technical writer? For what purposes do you travel? Do you wish you could travel more? Or less? Hope your week's going well!
