Planning a gap year is exciting, but it can be hugely time-consuming and finding the perfect opportunities can be confusing. Remove the leg work when choosing a gap year company, program or destination and use the services of a gap year consultant.
A gap year consultant is a travel expert who will spend time getting to know you, your plans and your dreams for your gap year. They can advise on where you can go, what you can do and how you can do it. They can help you with the planning stage and leave you to book everything, they can work alongside you to arrange elements, or they can even book everything for you.
At The Gap Year Hub we’ve spoken to thousands of gappers, and everyone has their own way of planning their gap year. Here are some of the reasons why many of the travellers we’ve supported love using gap year consultants:
A gap year consultancy is an excellent choice if you want a bit of support with the planning or booking stages of your trip, or if you want to include any complex elements. They are also a very useful source of knowledge if you’re not sure what you want to do, or if you have heaps of ideas, and need help to whittle them down.
We’re outlined some of the benefits of gap year consultants in our handy blog, titled ‘why you should use a gap year consultant’.
