Leave Calendar And Trip Planner 2022 – As is my habit, every year as soon as I get my company leave details I start planning my leaves for the whole year and prepared a planner. This might sound a little too planned or farsighted to some, but having it helps me in a lot of ways:
- Since I am applying for leaves so early, it guarantees there won’t be any conflicts.
- Chances of approvals drastically increase. It’s always better to get leaves approved first and then cancel if not feasible rather than applying at the last moment.
- Gives you a fair idea of the amount of money you need to travel each month. So in turn you can start saving accordingly.
- If you have local/international travel goals, it helps you fit in those.
Note – Due to COVID-19, plans may get disrupted so even if you are planning trips I would suggest opting for fully refundable flights & hotel bookings.
My Leave Calendar And Trip Planner 2022
Possible trip plan column is to help you plan your trip better with all the required information already available on my website. I will also keep updating the links once I am done writing, posting about my other trips from Sikkim, Himachal Pradesh, East Europe (Hungary & Germany) & some backlogs from last few years.
This calendar should give you a fair idea of how I manage to travel so much without going over my leave limit every year (around 23 leaves).
