We all want to pursue their passion at one point or another in our lives – some people are able to do this by choosing a career that is similar to their passion while others end up choosing their passion in their career. A similar story of a Delhi woman who quit her job to follow her true passion, travel, is taking to the internet. She left her job in 2022 and reflected on her decision a year later.
Aakanksha Monga, who is now a content creator, took to Twitter on May 17 to share her story. She wrote, “I quit my job at LinkedIn. Last year on this day. When I left, I promised myself to give myself a year to focus on my passion and travel the world full time.” She added that she was extremely burnt out, worked alone and had around 2,50,000 followers on Instagram.
