Cheap gap year travel
 |
Money might not make you happy, but it makes life a hell of a lot easier. If you're guilty of spending lots and saving little, your gap year travel might not look too promising. But don't despair! We have several cheap gap year travel options that won't break the bank and might even see you come back with more money than you started with (!). |
A gap year doesn't have to last for a year and there are plenty of cheaper Real Gap programmes that let you volunteer for just a couple of weeks. And don't forget that the living costs are usually much lower than in Britain. In Thailand, for example, £1 will buy you a decent meal.
If money is a serious concern, why not look at doing some paid work abroad? Cheap, self-funding and even profitable gap year travel is possible through our working holiday programmes. Working abroad is a great way to meet the natives, learn new skills AND earn money! Work hard and you might even make enough to do some independent travelling.
Gap year travel can be cheap, and the memories will be priceless! Check out our best budget gap year travel programmes.
Australia Work Down Under - £299
A budget programme with everything you need to help you get a job down under and start earning Australian dollars. Once you're earning you'll be able to fund your trip. It beats working night shifts in the local supermarket in order to save for your trip!
New Zealand Paid Work - £249
Everything you need to work in NZ, including a guaranteed job offer! Another fantastic budget work option, this time for New Zealand. Get out there, start earning and fund your trip as you go! |

Starting from £384 these are great hassle-free tours taking in the best bits of South America! They are great value because they typically include everything you need like accommodation, meals, camping equipment, tour leader etc (see individual itineraries).
Teach and Earn in China - £799
This budget paid teaching programme is a fantastic way to experience the real China and Chinese culture. A 4-week teacher training period will help you become a committed and confident teacher (and will look great on a CV), we will then help you to find a paid teaching placement.
Thailand Volunteer Options - from £179

Australia Outback Ranch
Probably our favourite budget option, we know it's slightly pricier than the others but take a look at the programme and you'll see it's worth every penny!

You'll get help finding a job related to your training and you can then work in Oz for up to 12 months. Accommodation, food and good wages included! |
