Gap year in Colombia?

Question

i finish school next year and want to take a year out before I go to uni: i was thinking maybe going to South America (Colombia, Ecuador....) but then so many people have told me to save these places for later. Is this true?

Answer 1

If I were you I would go now if you have the opportunity.

You may be busy with career, family etc., and may not have a chance to go later.  What is the world situation or the politics in these countrys going to be "later"?

Answer 2

you should go now, in my opinion.

Answer 5
