Question

Has anyone got any good ideas for a gap year?

Answer 1

Look up Voluntary Service Overseas.  (VSO).  That will improve your education, your CV and allow you to live in some really wonderful (and wierd) places.  Have fun.

Answer 2

If you got the money buy a round the world ticket and pick the countries you really wanna see. STA travel seem to be one of the cheapest or Trailfinders. I've done it a coupla times and my tickets cost £1000, although if you do S America you gotta pay at least £500 more. Prob cost you quite a bit more tho now with fuel going up.

Bugger VSO, I'm sure you gotta be a God-botherer to do that and they send you up-country to do the **** jobs even the locals don't want to do.

Much better goin workin in a bar in Oz.

Have a great time.

Answer 3

are you thinking for this year or the following coz if it's the following work your *** off and save that money and go travelling but try do this with a friend or a group  you can find out more with a travel agency who can set you up to go away for a year with a group of ppl to different countries. just think how much you could do and see it would be great.

Answer 4

Do something like JET or Peace Corps (the latter is 2 years). It will give you a new perspective on the world and both these programs will pay for everything.

Answer 5

Help poor comunities in South America (Amazon area).

Answer 6

I worked my gap year to help pay for my further education at college. Not only that, but I gained valuable experience in the field I was studying.
