life is about creating yourself" -George Bernard Shaw

Many see a gap year as the only opportunity they will ever
have of going overseas, before they become a slaves to there
careers...
A gap year should be seen as a practice session.
Yes, travel is the best education and a gap year is a great way
to learn about the world, its people and yourself. - Its also
common for older adults to take 'mid-career' gap's.
Each persons situation is different: -
-The ave student actually has no money to travel-For most, a gap year is just a paid holiday using parents
money
-A gap year should be used to get work experience
-Try work and save for your studies during a gap year.
-Try never to have any debt
-Use a gap year to see your own country, its good training.
-Focus on your career, plan properly, there's no rush,
the world will still be there.
As a student, try invest in assets and save for a real round the
world adventure and then do it properly!
A 'gap year', should not mean, that this is the only time you'll
ever going get a chance to travel.
