GAP YEAR (OR LESS!) - THE BEST TIME OF YOUR LIFE?

.......This wwwebsite has everything to do with initiative and independence, and absolutely nothing to do with the often unnecessary expense and nannying of Gap year Organisations who most often do no more than anyone with half a brain and some practical advice based on a 36 year gap year from me, can plan, budget and realise for themselves... the result is someone who returns more matured, adaptable, self confident, and more able to take on Uni or the responsibilities of adult life. People will say "You're really lucky to have done that!"..but it's got nothing to do with luck, but everything to do with choice, preparation, and hard work for the fulfilment of a dream.

......For the past 16 years, these talks and my practical advice and huge travel experience have encouraged thousands of leavers to get away, get a life, have a safe and unforgettable time, and to come back smiling and worldly wise.

WITH THE CURRENT DIRE ECONOMIC SITUATION, AND THE BURDEN OF FEES AND THE EXPENSE OF GAP YEAR ORGANISATIONS EVER INCREASING, IT IS SO IMPORTANT FOR YOUNG PEOPLE TO KNOW THAT THEY CAN STILL TAKE A BREAK FROM THE PRESSURES OF LIFE, AND TO HAVE A FABULOUSLY EXCITING AND WORTHWHILE TIME WITHOUT UNNECESSARY EXPENSE.
