The gap-year guidebook, now in its 24th year, offers comprehensive advice for anyone considering taking time out to travel, work, volunteer or study at home or abroad. The guide aims to encourage travellers to pursue a gap-year that suits their interests, budget and travel ambitions.

 

The guide is arranged in 11 concise chapters that cover a wide spectrum of topics that enable travellers to make informed decisions about their health, finance and accommodation before they travel. Chapters focused on career-breaks, working abroad, volunteering abroad, learning abroad and sport enable travellers to explore the variety of activities available to them on their gap-year. There are also three chapters that focus on volunteering, working and learning in the UK whilst on a gap-year to cater for those that prefer to stay in their home country.

 

As well as providing up-to-date travel and gap-year specific advice from a number of leading organisations, there is a 153 page company directory. This provides travellers with the contact details of organisations that can help them plan a gap-year with ease.

 

In addition to the information available, the guide offers an insight in to past traveller experiences with leading gap-year organisations by sharing the exciting experiences of 36 people.
