Would you rather:
Travel all over the world for work (you'd have some time to see the sights here and there, but your primary purpose would be to accomplish work)
or
work every day in the same office within miles of your home?
Bonus question: What would change your mind?

I would work close to home.
I would change my mind if
a) I could teleport and not have to fly
b) my job was like a food critic or a travel column writer
c) I had no family
Good one, Bart!
Travel.
What would make me change my mind?
*If I had young children at home.
*When I got completely sick of living out of a suitcase. It does get really old after while. I recently did it for a year and a half and am sort of doing it again.
*When I no longer felt safe in the places I was going to.
*Or, like now, where I have a parent that needs quite a bit of help.
I would choose to work near my home, though I think it's a hard call. I would choose not to miss my children's growing up years. But I would change my mind if I didn't have kids.
Travel. I do not work near home right now, and it is totally do-able, but I have rather enjoyed the times I've traveled for work.
Travel! I have the travel bug so bad and I'm kind of at the point where I don't even care how or why I get there as long as I do get there.
I'd change my mind if the work became so all encompassing that it didn't matter that I was in Paris because I was too busy doing A, B and C for work.
I'd work close to home. Or at home...even better.
I agree with Kristi, teleporting could sway my choice. Also, I might change my mind IF...
a) everyone I loved came with me everywhere I went, preferably in my pocket...OR
b) I worked 20 days a year
If I was single and didn't have kids, I would definitely choose travel. But since I'm not single, and I do have kids... I guess I have to stay home.
At this point in my life I'd love to travel for work. Like most of the other commenters, family would change my mind.
I traveled too much when I was young back and forth to the various Hawaiian Islands for a couple of years. It gets old. There you are in a fancy restaurant in a beautiful hotel enjoying an amazing dinner with no one to discuss it with. I think traveling is far better when it doesn't involve work.
