Travel like that is your choice and is based on what projects you want to do.
Generally speaking, the travel is because the client wants the team to be on site and pairing with the client's people.
We have a bunch of people who prefer not to travel as much, and that's fine too.
Also, work-from-anywhere tooling is getting better and better, and more of our clients are asking about it. In my opinion these tools are really good though not as good (yet) as being in person in groups.
