A travel expert used ChatGPT to plan her entire European backpacking trip - on a $1k budget.<br /><br />Madison Rolley, 24, regularly posts tips on her TikTok for finding the cheapest flights and hotels.<br /><br />But keen to try something different, she asked AI tool ChatGPT to plan her two-week trip to Europe, setting the bot a budget of $1,000 per person.<br /><br />The digital nomad coach asked the software to plan her a two week trip to Europe, visiting between four cities which included travel and accommodation.<br /><br />Madison from Nashville, Tennessee, US, also asked for three activities in each location, and tasked the tech with including those costs - and food - within the budget.<br /><br />It laid out the perfect plan - setting out a route using planes and trains. <br /><br />The software originally recommended Stockholm, Amsterdam, Paris, Barcelona and Copenhagen -but the digital nomad tailored her trip and is now visiting Stockholm, Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam<br /><br />To keep them entertained, Chat GPT recommended they visit the Anne frank museum, the Van Gough museum and take a canal cruise in Amsterdam. <br /><br />Then the technology suggested the Lourve and Eiffel Tower for their time in Paris.<br /><br />Madison and her friend have booked their trip and will leave on July 3 this year.<br /><br />For the trip for two people, ChatGPT allocated $1,300 for 13 nights accommodation, $300 for 12 attractions and $500 for travel, coming in at $2,100 for the trip between two - not including a flight home.<br /><br />Madison said planning this trip would have taken her days - but the software did it in minutes.<br /><br />The most impressive part of the software was that it gave Madison "inspiration" and that it could "easily be tweaked further to show free attractions or unusual ones".<br /><br />She said: "it was brilliant for sorting it out logistically and setting it in a timeline that was easy to follow.<br /><br />“I was trying to figure out what the perfect itinerary would be to visit multiple places in a way that made sense and flowed well and also be able to budget it out.<br /><br />“I wanted some inspiration, and I’ve been obsessed with ChatGPT from a marketing<br />standpoint. <br /><br />"I do marketing on the site as well. And also just in life, I just feel like it's such a hack for everything.<br /><br />“I was on ChatGPT and I was like ‘Oh, you know what? I should see what it will spit out because people have been testing this for the most crazy things.<br /><br />“One of the things it came with was, in Amsterdam, it was like ‘go on a canal cruise’ I would have never really thought to do that.<br /><br />“The way the ChatGPT laid it out for me, I went from Stockholm to Paris and then to Brussels and then to Amsterdam, which you can all do by train.<br /><br />“It very much laid out a path that made sense to travel and it also showed how you would go about booking everything, which I thought was really cool.<br /><br />“It was like, okay, you're going to go by plane here and then you're going to take a train here and that's roughly how much it's going to cost, which was really neat.”
