There are so many different versions of a 'gap year', whether you’ve finished school or university & are trying to decide what to do next, or you’re working & fancy a change
Why should you take a gap year? 🤭
1️⃣ A gap year is the perfect opportunity to take a well-earned rest whilst you decide “what’s next?”. You may not be sure what that is yet (which is totally okay!) 💚
As you travel, you'll discover how many endless possibilities there are in the world 🌏️
2️⃣ We know it’s cliché, but you truly will find yourself when you travel 🥹
You may discover a love for hiking, surfing or even sushi-making 🍣 Plus, overnight buses really are character-building 😉
3️⃣ Employers will love to hear about your gap year! Budgeting on the go, planning extensive itineraries, and people skills are all valuable real-world experiences 🤩
4️⃣ Make friendships with people from across the world, all with different life experiences from yours ✈️ Chat with locals and learn about different cultures. These experiences will be invaluable throughout your life 🪷
A gap year can be a full year of exploring the world, a working holiday in Australia or New Zealand, or just a few weeks away to take a break!
