This travel creator plans every trip two months out. Here’s why that matters

Travel content online often celebrates people who leave their jobs and start exploring the world full-time. While those stories are inspiring, they can also make regular professionals wonder if travelling often is possible without making a major career change. A recent Instagram video is now getting attention for offering a different perspective.

Instead of talking about quitting work, lifestyle and travel creator Annie Sharma explains how she fits travel into a regular 9-to-5 schedule by making practical choices that work for her. One of the first things Annie highlights is that she does not rely on spontaneous trips. She says every trip is planned around two months before she leaves.

“I usually don’t take spontaneous trips because this helps me calculate how much money I need to save, how much the expenditure will be, and how many leaves I will take,” she says. For her, planning early makes it easier to sort out finances and work commitments before booking a trip.

Towards the end of the video, Annie says people should not feel pressured by what they see on social media. “So the point is, you don’t have to leave your job to follow your passion because everyone on social media is saying you do that. Sometimes all it needs is better planning,” she says.
