For people of all ages looking for a 'gap'
- young people: before, during and after Higher Education.
- career breakers & families: recharging batteries or finding a new direction.
- in retirement: 'golden gappers', making up for lost time.
To help you, gapadvice.org suggests 5 key steps:
- consider it: so what is a gap year?
- investigate it: prepare well for your gap year.
- organise it: DIY or go with a company?
- do it: keep in touch, respect local customs and cultures and stay safe.
- reflect on it: find time to assess your experiences and adjust your life.
