First Gap Year Travel: Welcome |
|
Taking a gap year can be both an exciting and daunting prospect for students as well as people taking a career break. There are so many gap year opportunities available today for the independent or budget traveller from travelling the world with a backpack to working abroad. First Gap Year Travel aims to provide basic information as a starting point for planning your gap year and will cover a variety of subjects including:
- Making the decision to take a gap year.
- Reassuring parents about taking a gap year.
- Planning flights, visas, accommodation and countries to visit.
- Deciding on what to pack and on whether to travel light.
- Health issues such as vaccinations, malaria, first aid, safe water/food and emergencies.
- How to stay safe in another country.
- Deciding on travelling with friends or going solo.
- Credit cards, debit cards and travelling on a budget.
- Brief information on a variety of countries.
- Organisations to contact for opportunities on working abroad.
- Coming back home at the end of your gap year.
Finally, the Gap Year Directory offers a one stop resource for anyone planning a gap year and covers travel, flights, accommodation, working abroad, volunteer work, travel insurance, adventure travel and much more. The Gap Year Directory will expand over the coming year to include new sections on skiing, sports, conservation projects and other gap year related activities.
