It is often said that success will follow if you follow your passion, yet in a world where stability trumps passion, people often choose their 9 to 5 careers. While only a few dare to break the norm and pursue their heart’s desire. A similar story about a Delhi-based woman quitting her work to pursue her genuine passion, travel, has gone viral on the internet. She left her job in 2022 and reflected on it a year later.
Aakanksha Monga, who is now a content creator, shared her story via Twitter on May 17. “I quit my job at LinkedIn,” she wrote. “Last year, on this very date. When I left, I promised to give myself 1 year to focus on my passion and travel the world full time.” She went on to say that she was really exhausted, worked alone, and had approximately 2,50,000 Instagram followers.

A fourth person expressed concern about the creator’s lifestyle, asking, “How do you manage your travel expenses without earning?” How do you keep your good blood report by eating out all the time?”
