A Gen-z woman has saved over $12K to travel to 30+ countries since turning 18
Lauren Kirby, 21, a nursery worker, has saved over $12,500 to travel to 30 different countries since starting work aged 18.
Micro-retirements have become a trend on TikTok that sees Gen Z workers take periodic breaks from their career. The travel company, TUI, paid for Lauren’s accommodation, flights, food and bills and paid her a minimum wage — $988 a month. She even flew out to the East Coast of Australia in March 2024, staying until September — which she saved $5,000 for.“I went out there, worked the first five months at a resort, then spent a month traveling.
The nursery worker says being well-travelled has benefitted her role — as she’s been able to bring different cultural childcare techniques back to work in the UK. Despite being too shy to order her own food at 16, she has “blossomed” into an adult able to live across the world on a six-month sabbatical.
