I have wife and kids, definitely not 20-something anymore, and work at a global company (i.e., not startup). Last year I spent 120+ days on the road.
While I respect that some people may not accept they have to travel for work at all, I don't think the stereotype of "only single 20-something with free time would do it" is valid. And 10 days, a couple of days per year is not really unreasonable.
If you love what you do, make it happen. If you don't like, then quit and go work on another place where travel is no req'd.
