Should you Quit your job to Travel Solo across the globe?

In this week’s episode, I got a chance to speak with Kanak Agrawal, who inspired by the movie “Into the wild” asked her manager to give her a sabbatical to travel. Which her manager turned down.

So she quit McKinsey and went ahead with her travel plan.

We deep dived into travelling solo, career break, starting up and writing online in this episode of Mindset and System Podcast.

In an effort to decode this alternate lifestyle for our audiences, hoping you find this useful. Would love to know in the comments here.
