She is correct, you do get to see the world , but from 35,000 ft with the exception of China where you cannot even see the ground
Then once you land after a grueling 16 hour flight , you are transported to a hotel in the middle of nowhere that doesn't have a 24 hour coffee shop , you are hungry, Because your body is insisting that it's lunchtime . Yet it's after midnight local time so the coffee shop / restaurant is closed and all that is on offer is an exorbitantly expensive snack .
24 hours of broken sleep and you get to do it all over again
YUP That's living the dream and seeing the world . One hotel room at a time
