I Planned a Euro Trip for $1.5k Using ChatGPT
A digital nomad from Tennessee has gone viral on TikTok after sharing how she planned a European vacation for $1.5k with the help of ChatGPT. Madison Rolley, who is known for sharing her travel hacks with her 30,000 followers on TikTok, used the AI-powered chatbot to help her plan a two-week trip across four cities.
How ChatGPT Helped Me Plan My Budget Getaway
Rolley provided ChatGPT with her travel preferences and asked the bot to "build me an itinerary based on what my preferences are". ChatGPT was then able to create an itinerary with a detailed day-by-day plan for her trip, including the cities to visit, means of travel, costs and recommended attractions to visit in each city.
Although ChatGPT recommended five cities, Rolley swapped out one city for another and was left with a route that made sense and flowed well, while staying within her budget.
Using ChatGPT as a Travel Consultant
Rolley did caution that ChatGPT is very "limited" and "doesn't know you". However, she believes that the AI chatbot can give inspiration for planning a trip and can help with generalizing a budget. She recommends using ChatGPT as a blueprint and then customizing the itinerary according to your preferences and budget.
Overall, Rolley was thrilled with the time and money-saving tool that ChatGPT provided. The total cost of her trip was $3,147 for two people, which included accommodations, attractions and travel.
If you're planning your next trip, why not give ChatGPT a try? It may just help you plan your dream vacation within your budget.
