An inexpensive two-week trip to Europe was planned using ChatGPT by digital nomad coach and influencer Madison Rolley. Rolley claimed to have saved “anywhere from two to five hours” of additional research courtesy of ChatGPT.
What if a single click could replace hours of tedious and strenuous travel planning? Madison Rolley utilised ChatGPT to plan a two-week, economically priced journey to Europe, and she succeeded in doing so, going viral on TikTok. Rolley, 24, claimed that one day while using ChatGPT for business, an idea suddenly came to her. She was aware that she would be travelling to Europe in July and that it would begin and end in Stockholm, but she was unsure of her other travel plans or what she was looking for.
Madison, being a digital nomad coach and ardent traveller, was curious to find out if ChatGPT could assist in organising her trip. She added that she planned to visit anywhere between four and six places throughout Europe and asked the artificial intelligence technology to generate a two-week vacation itinerary. Rolley also asked that ChatGPT takes into account the expenditures of getting to each area, staying there, eating there, and visiting three attractions.
Although it seems difficult, Rolley claimed ChatGPT “spit out gold” and saved her from having to do “anywhere from two to five hours” of additional labour.
“I must admit, I was astonished at how comprehensive it was. I anticipated it to be quite hazy,” Rolley told Insider. “I was genuinely taken aback by the level of detail and by the fact that it was already suggesting affordable options. I thought that was really impressive. It could accomplish even more incredible feats if you allow it a budget and give it free rein.
ChatGPT advised Madison to spend her two weeks in Amsterdam, Paris, Barcelona, and Copenhagen. The complete itinerary is provided below:

Rolley then uncovered that ChatGPT was capable of focusing much further. She explained in a different TikTok video how she asked ChatGPT 20 questions to get to know her travel preferences and make even better suggestions for her vacation, which is actually the better way of getting AI to make an itinerary.
Rolley cited ChatGPT as a fantastic resource for ideas when it originates to travel preparation. As she put it, “I think what it’s really good at is giving people a general outline and getting the travel planning going.” “There are a few things I might not have necessarily considered for myself, like taking an Amsterdam canal tour.”
Rolley claimed that ChatGPT’s expertise was still constrained to 2021 data and that it was unable to offer the most recent data regarding rates, open eateries, or accessible lodging. But she maintained that ChatGPT was still her new “all-time budget travel hack.”And who can predict what it will be able to do in the future?
