How much travel necessary in SM and MM HFs?

Hello, I have limited experience as to the average amounts of travel at SM and MM HFs, only have info on a few places including the shop that I work at, I do however, feel that they are outliars. If someone could please elucidate as to how much travel trade-side HFers travel at different levels I would be immensely grateful.

I understand that it's super PM and fund stage dependent, but any ballparks would still be valuable :)

Thanks!!
