I actually see it the other way around: By overriding my principles (insofar as that it's the company sending me, not me choosing to go, and if I don't go, it'd send someone else), it means I get to see somewhere I would be very unlikely to otherwise.
(Still waiting for aviation fuels based on second-generation biofuels, i.e. those made from the waste products of agriculture, not those grown as biofuels and displacing other agricultural activity. Plan B, of travelling overland around the world when I retire and have plenty of time, might not happen, as I realised once my mother, prior to her retirement, became almost uninsurable outside of the EU (though not quite totally: she did manage to go to Brazil last year, after a bout of insurance contortionism).)
