What is a gap year?
A gap year can be anything from a few months to a full year spent out of formal education. It’s a ‘year out’, rather than a ‘year off’. Gap year trips are a chance to explore, experience, learn and refresh! Most gappers are aged between 17 and 22, and take their gap year before starting university or work.
Why take a gap year?
A gap year is your chance to experience new challenges, make new friends, broaden your horizons and gain valuable skills. For most people there’s a short window of opportunity to enjoy gap year travelling, so make the most of it! With a bit of planning you can create a gap year to remember.
