Most people want to travel at some stage in their lives. Some yearn to journey far and wide, into the middle of the jungle and live out of a backpack whilst recycling their knickers.

We're already scattered across the Europe and the US, but if you ask us, we could spre[...]
I'm no expert, but I would assume to about 7 out of 10 people the answer would be simple: No. It's heavy, it's bulky, it reminds you too much of work and might even give you pangs of guilt for not catching up on all those to-do's you were hoping to ignore until you get back home and back to reality.
