Every interview process is exhaustive. To find the best candidates for any position and where they'd fit into their team, the interviewers need to evaluate how well the needs of their company and the needs of their employees align. Answer this question honestly but with tact. If you're not willing to travel for work consistently, don't say that you are. Phrase your answer in a way that shows you're a team player.

"There are no restrictions on my travel. I have a current passport as well as a valid NEXUS pass."

"I am open to some international travel; however, for the sake of my family, I do not wish to travel more than 30% of the time. What percentage of travel is expected in this role?"

If you're willing to travel for work or have in the past, explain this in your answer. If you're not open to traveling, don't say no. If you weren't aware travel was a prerequisite for the position, ask if it is. Tell them you're interested in the position and that you'd be open to discussing it further, but your understanding of constant business travel doesn't fit into your current lifestyle. Ask more questions about the position, if there is room for advancement from within, and if a willingness to travel is a prerequisite to grow from within.

Don't say, "I didn't know travel was required. I can't imagine doing that. I like sleeping in my own bed."
