The interviewer is transparent and explains that traveling is a requirement of the job. They want to make sure you know that travel is a requirement and that it will not be an issue for you if hired. The interviewer does not want to hire a woodworker who says they cannot travel because of outside obligations, such as school, family, or another job. Explain that you are aware of the travel requirement and that traveling for up to three weeks at a time will not be an issue for you.

If traveling for three weeks at a time will be a problem for you, avoid simply saying that you cannot travel without giving a reason why. If you have an outside obligation that interferes with extended travel, be honest with the interviewer and explain your conflict. The interviewer will decide if they can work around your external commitment if hired.

"No, traveling for extended periods will not be an issue for me if hired. That is one of the aspects of the job that appeals to me, as I love to travel and experience new places. The only obligation I have is my dog, but my neighbor takes care of him when I travel."
