That's a pretty impressive conference rate.

I've only had one overseas trip (Canary Islands) in the past 12 months, but I still fondly remember one 2 month work trip that took in Chile, Sydney and Hawaii about half way through my PhD.

It was a combination of things that just came together at the right time.

A trip to install and use a new instrument at a telescope in the Chilean Andes (I'm an astronomer), then on to Sydney for a week of meetings with my collaborators based there, then a conference in Hawaii.

I was rather chuffed.

I was mightily sick of hanging round airports waiting for flights, airline food, and being cramped in tiny airline seats for 12 hours at a time though.
