Leaving A High-Paid Job To Follow Her Passion!
summary
Quits a high‑paying job, hitchhiked across India for five and a half years, and lives weeks in villages with no network; builds Soulful Safar to sell customized culture‑and‑food trips rather than standard tours. Describes concrete reach: a 75‑year‑old US traveler who took local buses, growing a community over 3+ years that includes LGBT travelers, and argues policy changes and workplace “plan B” paths so people can save vacations or moonlight to test a travel business before leaving.
