What is a gap year?
Traditionally, a gap year is a period of travelling, working or volunteering overseas between high school and college/university. A stop gap if you like, somewhere between the academic world and the ‘real world’. We were never really one for tradition, so for us, a gap year isn’t just for students, or for graduates, or for an amount of time that happens to add up to a calendar year. What defines a gap year is taking a break to do something different. Not just to travel – although that’s part of it – but to travel with a purpose. Whether that’s to earn money, grow your skills or simply to refocus on what’s next. It’s your time, we’re all about making it work for you.
