I'm not that experienced, but I know this. Traveling is one of the hardest calls for me to make. In theory and on paper it might look easy, but it can be hard. I'd rather have to chose between the block/charge all game, which I find incredibly easy then have to call traveling. Now this isn't to say that it's always hard. Sometimes travels are so blatent that they're easy to call, usually I can catch them, but they involve more thought then other calls. This thought causes delays which turns into a gap from the violation to the whistle, sometimes when this gap gets too big I just forget about the call.
From a newer official, this is a real weakness I've noticed in my game, and I've been working on it over the past 3 years and will probably continue to work on it for a lot longer until I master it, if I ever do.
